How to do it

1. Sit cross-legged with your back tall and lift both arms overhead, curving them into a wide circle with your fingertips meeting above your head - forming the O that gives the pose its name.
2. Keep your shoulders drawn down away from your ears while the arms hold their round frame, and sit up as tall as you can inside the shape.
3. The hold gently opens the shoulders and chest, stretches the sides of your torso, and asks your posture to do what it should be doing all day anyway.
