Bring hands above our head.
Bring the right hand down to the right side of our body, and bring the left arm over towards the right, keeping the spine tall as we come over to the right side, lengthening through the left side.
And then coming back to center and switching sides, opening up the right side body, lengthening, and coming over towards the left. And then we'll integrate this with our breath.

Bring chest forward as you breathe in, exhale as we bring our spine towards the back. Inhaling forward, exhaling back.
Continuing with your own breathing pattern here.
