Nine to five yoga

continued from page 6
Cleansing or woodchopper breath

Done either seated or standing, this is good for releasing anger.

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart. Interlock your fingers and raise straight arms above your head.

2. Breathe out through the mouth with a 'ha' sound as you bend forward. Arms swing through the legs, as though you were chopping wood. Bend your knees slightly at the same time and pull in abdominal muscles to squeeze out all the air from the bottom of the lungs.
3. Breathe in deeply through the nostrils as you straighten up. Arms come back up over your head. Knees should be slightly bent to protect the lower back.

Repeat three times. As you do so, feel the stale air leaving your lungs and being replaced with clean air.

AVOID if you have high blood pressure.
