This is one of the simplest yoga asanas where you simply just have to stretch yourself. Stand straight and stretch your arms above the head. Try to stretch right from the abdomen and tilt backwards to make a part of an arch. This way you can stretch your whole torso right from the abdomen till the tip of your arms. This is also known as the raised arm pose and this yoga asana helps to increase oxygen intake and stretch muscles.
