Bastri Pranay, sit tall, back is straight, chin parallel. You can keep your eyes open or closed. Bring your palms next to your shoulder. Don't bring it in front of your shoulder; bring it here. Automatically, you're still keeping your chest open and not collapsing. So, breathing in, our chest moves forward. Breathing out, the chest collapses. We're going to be breathing in, raising our hands up. As we breathe out through our nose, we're going to bring it down.
