1. Begin by sitting or standing in a comfortable, upright position.
2. Extend your arms straight in front of you.
3. Cross your right arm over your left arm at the elbow.
4. Bend both elbows so that your forearms are perpendicular to your face, and the backs of your hands are facing each other.
5. Twine your forearms so that your left palm meets your right palm, hands flat against each other. If this isn't comfortable, you can press the backs of the hands together or grasp the thumb of the opposite hand instead.
6. Once you have your arms in position, lift the elbows to the height of the shoulders while pressing the hands away from your face.
7. Hold the pose for the desired duration, focusing on breathing deeply and maintaining an erect posture.
8. Carefully unwind your arms and repeat the stretch with the left arm over the right.
Remember to perform this stretch mindfully and without forcing the movement, respecting your body's limitations.
