3 steps to Shoulder Strength & Flexibility: Oh How Wonderful
≤30 min. Once you understand the arm practice called "oh how wonderful" it will change how you do backbends & open the upper chest. With 3 simple steps: (1) create length to the side body, (2) take the heads of the upper arms back, & (3) expand to lengthen fully -- you will achieve more fullness in your backbends. This step by step process starts with standing for a side stretch with legs crossed, then moves to parsvakonasana using the same arm engagement. You'll come to a kneeling position for a variation of ustrasana pose before supine bridge pose. In each of the poses we will repeat the 3 steps required to open the upper chest.
