exhaling bring your palms together in front of the chest in prayer position.

Step 2: Hastauttanasana (Raised arms pose).

While inhaling, lift the arms up and back, keeping the biceps near the ears. In this mudra, an effort is made to stretch the whole body from the heel to the tip of the fingers.

Keeping the spine straight while exhaling, bend forward from the waist. As you exhale completely, bring your hands to the floor next to your feet.

Step 4:Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian pose).

While breathing in, push your right leg back as far as possible. Bring the right knee to the floor and look up.
