Stand on the yoga mat, relax the left arm.
By inhaling activate the right arm and raise it to shoulder height, hand palm is facing down. Then, when the arm is at shoulder height rotate the palm that now should face up. Continue to raise slowly the arm over your head.
Exhale and relax the arm, but not bring it down. Then, by inhaling, activate again the arm and stretch it upward, by stretching all the right part of the body without arching the back
