Indoor Fitness: Fish Pose

The Fish Pose is a powerful yoga technique that helps relieve stiffness in your neck and shoulder muscles. It also can expand your lung capacity and improve deep breathing.

Directions:

• Lie down on your back with your legs straight and your feet together.
• Place your hands, palms down, underneath your thighs.
• Pressing down on your elbows, inhale and arch your back.
• Drop your head back so that the top of your head is on the floor. (Be sure to support your weight on your elbows, not your head.) Exhale.
• Hold the pose and inhale deeply, keeping your legs and lower torso relaxed.
• Lift your head and relax it gently on the floor. Release your arms.
