Instructions

  1. Sit upright near the front edge of a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your spine tall.

  2. Bring your arms up to the sides at shoulder height, bending your elbows at a ninety-degree angle like a cactus.

  3. Inhale deeply, then exhale as you gently draw your shoulder blades together and press your elbows slightly back.

  4. Feel the stretch open across your chest and the front of your shoulders while keeping your chin tucked.

  5. Hold this position for twenty to thirty seconds while breathing smoothly, then release back to the start.
