This simple, vertically stretching asana helps to strengthen the heart and the vertebral column. Since the lungs are getting expanded in this, it also helps to promote deep breathing. For this asana, stand straight with your feet together and arms by the side of the body. Breathing in, raise your hands up above your head, and simultaneously come up on your toes. Stretch your body vertically and breathe normally. After 5-6 breaths, gently release the asana.

Try to end your practice or your day with a few minutes of meditation. Regular practice of these Yoga Techniques can definitely improve the health of your heart and life! Live a healthy and hearty life!
