Arm Holding Wall: Shoulder and Chest Stretch

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

This stretching exercise works the shoulder and chest area to which the shoulder connects. Follow the steps below and then repeat on the other side.

Stand by a wall at the distance of your arm’s length. Extend your arm so that your palm can rest fully against the surface of the wall.
Begin breathing slowly and deeply. On an exhale turn your chest away from the wall, turning your head away at the same time.
While you are turning away, focus on pushing your shoulder blade in toward your torso.

About yogini
(http://daily-yoga.org)

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!
