Why I Do it: This stretch is so great for opening my chest, shoulders, and increasing flexibility in the spine.
- Lie on the floor and extend your arms out wide, palms facing down and in line with the shoulders.
- Place your left palm underneath your left shoulder, and push into the floor to roll onto the right side of the body.
- If it feels OK on your shoulder, turn this into a spinal twist by bending your left knee and placing it on the floor behind you.
- Lean back into your left foot and right hand as much as you can, gently pressing your left hand into the floor for support.
- Enjoy five breaths on each side.
