Arm Along Back: Triceps Stretch

Contributed by: yogini (http://daily-yoga.org)

If you spend a lot of time at a desk it may seem like your arms get a workout while reaching for papers and talking on the phone, but this sort of repetative motion can create tension.

Taking just a few minutes to stretch your triceps will help your body to collect and discharge any tension that has built up in the backs of your arms. It all adds up! If you’ve got 3 minutes stretch your triceps, if you’ve got a few more minutes check out the other simple stretching exercises.

Reach your left arm high into the air.
During the exhale, bend at the elbow and reach down your back between the shoulder blades. Reach as far as possible.
Place your right hand on your other elbow and carefully pull your elbow to the right.
Relax your ribcage and hold this position for several moments.
Release your bent arm and repeat on the other side.

About yogini

I fancy myself a student of the mystical schools. As such, nothing is off-limits as far as self- and multiverse- exploration goes. I prefer to use the term 'yoga' to mean the development of self, and not as one particular discipline. I seek viable, proactive information on subjects ranging from meta physics and philosophy, social evolution and ethics, to sustainable living practices and natural health solutions as alternatives to mainstream medicine, and in daily life. I share the ponderings and info you find here, as well as pass along articles by others whose interests fit into the topics on this site...so be sure to check out the links to other authors' sites in the bio section at the end of each article... and enjoy!
