Finally: Yoga for the Upper Body

Karen Voight, the excellent fitness czarina of the LA Times, thoughtfully passes on this yoga position that works like few yoga positions do, on the upper body.
Start here: Start on all fours with your knees below your hips and your hands below
your shoulders. Raise your buttocks high into the air, and press your
thighs back until your legs are straight. Keep stretching your buttocks
up as you lower your heels to the floor. Now shift your weight over
your left leg and raise your right leg above hip level.

Then do this: Keep your shoulders above your wrists as you slowly bend and lower
your right knee to your chest. Round your back and pull your navel to
your spine. Hold this position for three breaths, then return your leg
up in the air, pause and lower to the floor. Repeat the pose raising
your left leg.
