SUPPORTED SHOULDERST­AND

-

Start with lying on your back with your arms by your sides, then bend your knees and place the soles of your feet on the floor. Bend your elbows and place your hands on your low back, then draw your elbows and shoulder blades toward one another. Keep your elbows approximat­ely shoulder distance apart, actively countering the tendency for them to splay out to the sides, and ensure that more weight is placed on your shoulders and upper arms than your head and neck. With an inhale, begin to extend your bent knees and straighten your legs. Relax your face, throat, and jaw. Firm your shoulder blades against your back and move your sternum toward your chin. Gaze softly towards your chest.
