Lift you back upwards, forming a mountain-like structure

While you do that, make sure you push your face inwards, looking at your own torso

Now, push your back inwards, forming a ‘U’ position with your back

While you do that, look towards the ceiling

Repeat mountain motion with face inwards and then ‘U’ structure with face upwards for a minute

Do not speed up, In fact, you are advised to switch positions slowly and gradually

2. Bending forward while standing position:

Stand straight

Now, slowly bend forward

The goal is to place your palms on the floor (folding your body in half) Touching your toes may also be enough if you are unable to bend far enough

At this point, your face is supposed to be facing your legs (your head facing the floor)

Repeat this a few times in small intervals
