  2. Hastauttanasana (Raised Arms pose) - Inhale and raise your arms above your head, keeping your palms together and gaze up towards your hands.

  3. Hasta Padasana (Hand to Foot pose) - Exhale and bend forward, keeping your spine straight. Bring your hands down to the mat and touch the ground with your fingertips.

  4. Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian pose) - Inhale and step your right leg back, keeping your left foot forward. Place your hands on either side of your left foot, keeping your gaze forward.
