Lift left arm overhead, rotate torso to right, and lower left elbow to right knee. Put right palm on mat.

Hold for 5 breaths.

Rotate to center, then to left. Return to start.

Switch sides; repeat.

Is there a video for this slideshow? I think would be more helpful for those who have never done any of these moves.

Great info, but agree that have this formatted as a slide show is cumbersome, you have to click so many times. Would prefer a single page format, too

There is one move that most people can do and they will look thinner and taller: Stand up straight! Roll your shoulders back, lift your chin, put your chest out. Now, you don't have to walk around like a soldier at attention, but MOST of us slouch. Look at Michelle Obama - she slouches more often than not.

Is there anyway to see these as a single page? The multi-page view is annoying (to say the least) and I typically don't view them.
