The fish deeply opens the chest and increases flexibility of the
spine. Fish also stimulates the cardiovascular, respiratory and
nervous systems.
Lying on your back with the arms along side your body and the legs
a few inches apart, slide the hands palms down under the tops of
the thighs, just below the buttocks. Have the elbows slightly bent,
next to the sides of your torso.
Pressing into the elbows, use the arms to lift the chest up, arching
the spine, and rolling on to the crown of the head. Do not use the
head or neck to support the posture, use the arms, torso, buttocks
and legs to continue to lift the chest towards the ceiling. Little
or no weight should be on the head.
Breathe and hold for 3-8 breaths.
To release: slowly remove all of the weight off of the head and
gently lower the back of the head, the neck and then the spine back
down to the floor. Remove the hands from under the legs.
