PREPARATION:

1. Lie down on your back, extend legs forward, relaxed, feet fall open.

2. Place hands behind head.

EXECUTION:

1. Inhale deeply. Exhaling, slowly lift your right shoulder up off the floor.

2. While lifting, bring the REAR of the right rib cage toward the FRONT of your RIGHT hip,
NOT toward your left hip.

3. Think about squeezing the front of your lowest right ribs toward the front of your right hip bone.
(This sounds contradictory but you are doing two things at once: lifting from the BACK of the rib
cage while at the same time squeezing the lowermost ribs in the front, trying to "touch"  the ribs toward
the hip. It takes concentration.)

4. Hold the position for 20 seconds, breathing.

5. Do 6 on each side, alternating sides.
