These three movements are done while lying down:

Pushing Points of Energy Behind the Knees and on the Crook of the
Elbow: Place toes of left foot into back of right knee. Hold hands
inward at crotch with fingers pointing together and palms up. Inhale
as hands and arms scoop upward above head. Left fingertips go into
crook of right elbow. In this position exhale while lifting legs,
bending body forward, and pointing right fingers at right toes.
Alternating.

Breathing on the Two Center Lines of the Right and the Left Body:
Feet flat on floor with knees up, scooping inhale to above head (same
as in previous breath) - exhale as middle and index fingers trace two
parallel meridians (inside of nipple width) down to top of knees,
fingers outstretch on kneecaps - then inhale while smearing with same
two fingers back up above head. Hands flatten and face each other,
exhale while body bends forward and hands go down meridians towards
feet while knees drop to sides, keeping soles of feet together.

Breathing in the Glow of Awareness that the Leg Lifts Up from the
Stream: Inhale: Simultaneous and parallel right leg and right arm
lift to zenith, arm continues to above head. Exhale: Smear right
hand down to genitals as right leg lowers. Inhale: Right hand
brushes upward to above head while right leg lifts to zenith.
Exhale: Right arm arcs to zenith with shallow exhale, then
simultaneously arm and leg arc downward with forceful exhale as body
bends forward - leg is slightly above floor. (Toe points in
direction of leg.) Alternating.
