Starting on hands and knees, send your hips toward your feet, folding your torso over your thighs. Let the knees rest at a comfortable distance from one another, with the feet nearer together.
Take several breaths into the back body, feeling for breath movement and allowing gravity to work on you.
Crawl the hands first to one side for several breaths, then to the other, stretching through the side bodies and feeling for expanded rib movement.
Take a few moments at the end of the exercise to notice any shifts in your energy, breath, or body awareness. Try to take this awareness with you into the next thing you do.
