How to do it
Stand facing each other and step in until your bodies meet.
One of you wraps your arms round your partner's middle; the other wraps theirs round the shoulders.
Turn your heads to rest cheek to cheek.
Squeeze, then relax and stay there.
Tips
- Breathe out slowly and let your weight settle into each other.
- Twenty seconds or more is when it starts to do something.
- Rub a slow circle on their back.
