Instructions

Setup

  • Start in a half-kneeling position with one knee on the ground and the opposite foot placed flat in front of you, forming 90-degree angles with both legs.

  • Keep your torso tall and core engaged to maintain balance.

Movement

  • Extend the arm of the side of your kneeling leg straight out in front of you at shoulder height.

  • Use your other arm to hook underneath the extended forearm and pull it across your chest horizontally.

  • As you pull, keep your shoulders down and away from your ears to ensure an effective stretch.

  • Hold this position while breathing deeply into your upper back and shoulder area.

  • Switch legs and arms after the desired duration to balance the stretch on both sides.
