Yoga Exercise - Shoulder Stretches
|
1. Sit in any comfortably erect position. Hold the strap and straighten your arms forward. As you inhale, move your arms up
until they are overhead, and exhale as you bring them down behind you.
2. Coordinate this movement with your breathing, making the movement smooth. Make sure the strap is sufficiently long and your hands sufficiently far apart, so that you can keep your arms straight. If you cannot keep your arms straight, lengthen the strap. |
|
3. The idea is to circumscribe as large a circle as possible with your hands as they go up and over. Therefore, at every given moment you are stretching outward through your arms in the direction they are pointing. |

You don''t need a formal strap - use a scarf, t-shirt, whatever.

Be very careful with this exercise. Those who suffer from frequent shoulder dislocations/subluxations should approach this exercise only under the guidance of a physiotherapist as these movements can tend to result in a painful shoulder dislocation. Tks.
