Remember how there was always one joker in school who pretended to sit on an invisible chair? That joker might just make an excellent yoga practitioner.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Comfortable clothing suitable for stretching and moving
A calm place where you won't be distracted or disturbed
A yoga mat or folded blanket

Step 1: Stand at mat

Stand at the front of your mat with your feet hip-width apart and your weight evenly distributed between them, your spine erect, and your arms at your sides.

Tip: You may also start this pose with your feet and knees together for added support.

Step 2: Transfer weight & reach up

Inhale, slowly sitting back as if sitting down in a chair, transferring your weight back into your hips and heels, while reaching your arms up overhead with your palms pressed together.

Tip: If it's uncomfortable to keep your palms together overhead, keep your arms parallel to each other instead, with your palms facing in.

Step 3: Expand chest

Breathe evenly, sitting down further with each inhale, and lifting your chin to expand your chest and deepen your stretch.

Step 4: Hold pose

Hold the pose for 30 seconds to a minute, or as long as you can.

Step 5: Release pose

Release the pose on an inhale by slowly straightening your legs and lowering your arms. Now the next time somebody tells you to 'pull up a chair,' you know what to do...
