Everyday activities such as commuting and sitting at a desk can lead to constant tension that settles in your shoulders, neck and jaw. With a few additions to your yoga practice, you can target these areas for a more open, relaxed body that leaves you feeling great.
Child’s Pose with Shoulder and Triceps Stretch
Start off in Child’s pose by bringing your big toes together and separating your knees wider than hips’ width apart. Shift your hips back toward your heels and rest your forehead on the mat with your arms extended on the mat in front of you. Take your time and breathe deeply.
When you are ready to start stretching your shoulders and your arms, clasp your hands together staying in front of you and wiggle your biceps so they touch your ears. Bending at the elbows, bring your clasped hands behind your neck. Keep your biceps touching your ears, then gently bring your elbows forward on the mat for an even deeper stretch. Take your time and breathe deeply, focusing on sending your breath to your shoulders and relieving tension on each exhalation.
