Are you ready to become a fish? Get into fish pose when you want more flowing energy. Lie on your back. Bring both arms under your body, palms down, and elbows as far as possible under your back. Inhale and lift chest high as you can. Bend your arms and arch back. Look behind at the other fishes. To become human again, push on your elbows, lift head, and lower to the floor.

A) Fishes symbolize good luck, happiness, and transformation. B) Improves posture.
