Repeat this for five breaths on each side.
Seated spinal twist
Sit in vajrasana and twist to the right as your right-hand goes behind you and left-hand goes on the right knee. Take three deep breaths and repeat the same on the other side.
Side bend
Sit tall in Vajrasana and raise your right arm, pointing fingers towards the sky. Now bend towards your left side while creating a length on the right ribs. Wait here for three breaths and repeat on the other side.
Eagle pose
Sit straight on a chair or floor, as comfortable. Take your elbows towards the centre of your body. Stack the left elbow underneath and right elbow on the top.
Now take the back of your hands together, fingertips pointing towards the ceiling. Try and press your palms together, if possible.
Take three deep breaths in this pose, come back to the normal position. Repeat.
