Try it gently
- Arrive: stand or sit tall, soften the shoulders, take one slow breath.
- Ease into the shape on an exhale — never force, stay comfortable.
- Hold 30–60 seconds, each side, breathing slowly through the nose.
A gentle guide, not medical advice. Ease off if anything feels sharp or wrong.
