Kissing Shoulder
- Seated in a chair
- Establish the correct seated posture – your feet are flat on the floor, thighs parallel, and knees are hip width apart. The spine is aligned as is proper standing posture. The shoulder and neck are relaxed. Navel is pulled toward the spine to maintain a strong core
- Position your hands at your sides, palms face away from each other and upper arm bones rotate externally (away from the heart).
- Pull your lower ribs in slightly. Inhale as you draw your shoulder blades up and back. Exhale as you slowly squeeze your shoulder blades together, beginning near the base of the neck and gradually moving down to the lower tips of the shoulder blades. Release and repeat.
- Lying on the floor
- Lie face down on the floor with your forehead gently resting on a small towel. Arms are positioned at your sides with the palms facing the ceiling. Pull your navel toward the spine. Keep your legs and feet together on the floor.
- Continue with instruction “c” as in the seated position, described above. Your arms will lift away from the floor but remain parallel to the floor
