00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:02.599
This movement is called shoulder stretch.

00:00:02.930 --> 00:00:05.750
There will be three deep
breaths on each side.

00:00:06.370 --> 00:00:07.229
Let's begin.

00:00:08.170 --> 00:00:10.640
Bring your right arm into cactus.

00:00:11.004 --> 00:00:16.055
So the palm is facing forward, the elbows
bend to 90 degrees to your right side.

00:00:16.465 --> 00:00:22.764
When you're ready, reach that elbow
across your chest towards the left

00:00:22.764 --> 00:00:25.775
side and soften the cactus portion.

00:00:26.134 --> 00:00:30.115
Grab the corner of the elbow as
you've reached to the left side

00:00:31.075 --> 00:00:36.355
and pull your right elbow towards
your left side across your body.

00:00:36.830 --> 00:00:41.830
Your right hand may touch your right
shoulder, and if this is uncomfortable,

00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:46.809
explore where pulling your elbow in front
of your body feels most comfortable.

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:51.300
Sometimes you might need to lower the
elbow, or sometimes you might need

00:00:51.339 --> 00:00:55.339
to raise the elbow for the stretch
to feel it on the back of the side.

00:00:56.179 --> 00:00:59.189
Inhale deeply once you've found
the most comfortable position.

00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:02.379
And feel the stretch on
the back of the shoulder,

00:01:06.589 --> 00:01:07.700
and exhale.

00:01:11.670 --> 00:01:16.400
Inhale, pull with the left hand,
the right elbow just a little

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.429
bit more towards the left side.

00:01:18.670 --> 00:01:19.550
Inhale,

00:01:22.809 --> 00:01:23.830
and exhale.

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.529
Pull the elbow if you can,
just a little bit more.

00:01:31.589 --> 00:01:35.840
Last inhale, inhale deeply.

00:01:39.749 --> 00:01:45.259
Exhale to soften the right arm
back down towards your side.

00:01:47.685 --> 00:01:52.014
Give the shoulder a little bit of a
shake as we prepare for the left side.

00:01:54.014 --> 00:02:00.764
So bring your left arm into cactus,
palm faces forward, elbow to your

00:02:00.764 --> 00:02:07.265
side, reach the left elbow forward
and across towards the right side.

00:02:07.884 --> 00:02:12.035
Find the position of the left
elbow towards the right side that

00:02:12.035 --> 00:02:13.765
might be most comfortable for you.

00:02:14.245 --> 00:02:19.105
So it might be across your chest, it
might be higher up on your chest, or

00:02:19.105 --> 00:02:21.975
lower, whichever feels most comfortable.

00:02:22.695 --> 00:02:29.144
On an inhale, use your right hand to pull
the left elbow towards the right side.

00:02:31.334 --> 00:02:33.614
Feel the stretch on the left side.

00:02:35.625 --> 00:02:40.174
And on the exhale, pull the left
elbow towards the right side.

00:02:43.085 --> 00:02:45.924
Inhale, feel the stretch.

00:02:48.135 --> 00:02:51.315
Exhale, see if you can
pull a little bit more.

00:02:54.255 --> 00:02:57.734
Inhale for the last one.

00:02:57.804 --> 00:03:00.475
So see how it's deep as
you can make your inhale.

00:03:02.454 --> 00:03:06.545
Exhale, pull the elbow
towards the right side.

00:03:08.755 --> 00:03:13.315
And relax your arms down
back towards your side.

00:03:14.245 --> 00:03:15.885
Give them a little bit of a shake.

00:03:17.835 --> 00:03:20.035
That is the end of this exercise.
