Bikram Yoga

It is very important to go through the series in time with your breathing. Breathing should be slow and relaxed. You can strain your breathing by streching so much.

Begin standing with your big toes together and the outer edges of your feet parallel. Hands by your sides. Back straight, neck long, head well back on the shoulders. Practice by a mirror or against a wall at first to be sure you are straight.

Bring the arms straight out to the sides with palms up, sweeping up until they meet above your head and slightly forward. Look up at your thumbs but keep the back straight. Do not strech the arms up to high and keep the shoulders down.
