Flip your palm towards the ceiling, or reach forward and then reach your hand up towards the ceiling. Next, side bends in your left waist. Allow your left hand to relax on the left leg and reach towards the ceiling. Open your chest towards the ceiling, breathe here for minimum 3-4 breaths and then repeat the same on the other side.
