This stretches the muscles around the shoulder blade and in the armpit. Tightness in these areas can cause stiffness as well as restrict shoulder movements.
- Stand with your arms extended above your head, and grasp your left wrist with your right hand. Pull the wrist upward, elongating the left side of your body until you feel a gentle tension.
- Maintaining the stretch, pull your left wrist up and over toward the right side. Anchor your left foot into the floor to focus the stretch. Hold for 4 breath cycles, then repeat, this time pulling your right wrist.
