If you are a beginner, why not try the raised hand pose (Urdhva Hastasana). This pose will help to improve your posture, strengthen your thighs and open your shoulders.

• Begin by standing with your feet shoulder width apart . Bring your arms out to either side and slowly bring them up.
• Next, press your palms together, keeping your arms straight. Slowly lift your head and  look up towards your thumbs.
• You now need to slide your shoulder blades down your back.
• Try and stay in this position, as still as you can, maintaining your alignment.

If you are struggling, try doing this pose with your back against a wall, it will help a lot.
