Jump Switch
What It Does
Promotes strong, deep breaths, bringing fresh oxygen into the body, and gets the heart pumping, both of which promote feelings of well-being.

How to Do It
Begin in a runner's lunge with right foot forward and between your hands; place your fingertips on the floor directly under your shoulders, or use a set of yoga blocks as shown for easier movement. Take a deep breath and, in one strong action, jump and switch the lead leg so the left foot is forward between the hands. Pause for a second and then jump and switch legs again. Repeat this back-and-forth movement 10 times.
