Standing yoga poses:

STEP 1: Aerobic respiration

① Lie on your back on the bed with your legs slightly apart, your head, shoulders, back, lower back, buttocks, legs and heels all in contact with the bed, your whole body naturally stretched out, open your hands and place them on your lower abdomen, with your palms forming an inverted triangle, take a deep breath through your nose, slightly relax your hands on your lower abdomen and let them float up, so that oxygen can enter your abdomen and fully swell up.

② Exhale slowly through your mouth and nose, press your abdomen with your hands slightly to allow the air to fully exhale, and slightly tilt your face up, but be careful not to let your lower back float up.

STEP2: Relaxation in both directions
