waterfall
Find an open space and stand across from your child. Root your feet into the floor, relax your shoulders, and hold your arms at your sides (mountain). This will be your neutral point. On a deep inhale, reach your arms up slowly and gaze at your fingertips. On the exhale, reach your arms up and back and lower your neck so that you are gazing behind you. Inhale, and return to standing with your arms still reaching up. Slowly exhale and lower your arms to neutral. Do this sequence five more rounds, making sure you move slowly with the breath. Have your child imagine water flowing over their fingertips, like a beautiful waterfall.
You should feel your heart opening, your head clearing, and more strength in your upper body.
