Good Morning Stretch: Stand with feet 24 inches away from a wall with your back to it. Increase this distance as you get better with this exercise. Raise your hands up and over your head until they reach the wall. You will have to stretch your entire spine to achieve this. Return and repeat 7-8 times.
Forward Bend: Stand with feet wide apart. Raise your arms up and clasp your hands together. Bend forward slowly and touch the floor. Return slowly and repeat 10 times. As you improve in flexibility and strength, reduce the distance between your feet to make it more difficult.
90 Degree Forward Bend: With feet hip-width apart and hands behind the neck, bend forward slowly as much as possible. Push your head with your hands to stretch to the maximum. Return to starting position when you have gone as far down as possible. Perform 5 more times.
Warrior Pose: Begin with feet 4-5 feet apart and arms straight up over the head. Turn your left foot 90 degrees left and right foot by 45 degrees also to the left. Bend at the left knee until the knee is exactly over the ankle. Now lower your arms and stabilize them at shoulder length. Hold for a few breaths and reverse positions.
Spine Lengthener: Stand with feet together and arms by the sides. Now in a continuous motion, sway up your arms straight into the sky, stretch your neck backwards and look up, stand on your toes, and stretch each part of your body. Breathe easy for a few seconds, and repeat the procedure 10 times. Perform this exercise at the conclusion of all how to become taller exercises.
