Benefits

● Stretches the upper back and shoulders.

● Helps improve posture.

Directions

● Take a deep inhale, lengthen your spine and sit up tall. 

● Then, exhale and swing your right arm underneath your left, crossing at your elbows and your wrists.

● Press your palms together, or hook the fingers of your right hand over your left thumb.

● Continue to breath and slowly bring your elbows inline with your shoulders.

● Hold for a few seconds, release and repeat on the other side.

For a deeper stretch: Comfortably bring your elbows up higher toward the ceiling and press your forearms forward.
