Breath of Fire with Raised Thumbs, Part 1

1. Sit comfortably. 2. Raise both arms up in a V position. Palms face forward; fingers curl, and the thumbs point in. 3. Inhale and exhale completely. 4. When all the air is exhaled, pull in your abdomen by snapping the abdominal muscle. This causes a short, forceful expulsion of air with emphasis on the exhalation, not the inhalation. One caution: If dizziness occurs, stop.
