flexibility to the body parts.

Fold your right arm and place it behind your back and take your left arm over your right shoulder, and stretch it as much as until it touches your right hand.

Keep the trunk erect and expand your chest and lean back slightly. Maintain the posture at least for a minute. Breathe slowly and deeply while doing so. Now change the side in the same way.
