Overhead Reach

Urdhva Hasta Sthiti

Standing

How to

Standing facing each other, one partner's arms raised overhead with hands clasped above.

Benefits

  • A stretch-like, open feeling
  • A different visual and physical sensation
  • Easy to combine with any standing embrace

Practice

Only raise arms as high as comfortably stretches — this is about openness, not strain.
