The Hug, a deep breathing exercise you can do at home.
- Stand upright, feet shoulder width apart.
- Cross your arms in front resting your palms on your shoulders as if you were hugging yourself. Relax arms and shoulders
- Release any unnecessary tension in your upper body.
- Bend forward from your waist, dropping your head forward. Breathe all the way out, then slowly allow your body to naturally breathe in.
- Your ribcage and back should expand as if the breath was moving down your spine.
- Repeat 5 times or as much as you feel comfortable with.
- Drop your arms, slowly return to upright bringing your head up last so you don't become dizzy.
