close your right hand in a gentle fist in front of your nose

then extend your thumb and third and fourth fingers

gently close your right nostril with your thumb

inhale slowly through your left nostril

feel the air travelling down your body allowing your belly to fully expand

gently close your left nostril with your third finger

take your thumb off your right nostril

exhale slowly through your right nostril

inhale slowly through the right nostril

feel the air travelling down your body allowing your belly to fully expand
