Seated Arm Raises

Equipment Setup and Positioning

• Sit comfortably on a yoga mat or the floor in a cross-legged or upright seated position with an elongated spine.

• Engage your core and keep your shoulders relaxed away from your ears.

Movement Instructions

• Start with your arms extended out to your sides or down by your hips.

• Inhale and smoothly sweep your arms upward in an arc overhead until your hands meet or approach each other above your head.

• Exhale as you slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position in a controlled motion.

• Maintain a steady rhythm and keep upper body movements fluid and deliberate throughout the exercise.
