Keyboard Yoga: counter stretch for prayer pose

Sit with your back straight and both feet flat on the floor.

Stretch your arms out in front of your chest with your shoulders relaxed, palms together and fingers interlaced.

Reach outwards with your arms and hands, keeping your back straight.

Inhale slowly, raising your arms above the crown of your head. Allow your entire spine to stretch tall and long.

Exhale slowly, feeling the length in your spine, and return your hands to their position in front of your heart.

Do this five to ten times.

To complete this posture: inhale, pressing your palms up to the sky, then exhale, slowly allowing your hands to float down to your sides.
