00:00:00.070 --> 00:00:02.620
This movement is called side bends.

00:00:02.900 --> 00:00:06.330
We will be doing five
repetitions on each side.

00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:12.120
Your hand will end up opposite and
across from you above and over your head.

00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:14.799
So make sure that there's
space to do this movement.

00:00:15.079 --> 00:00:18.900
You would like space in front of you
and above your head doing this exercise.

00:00:19.550 --> 00:00:20.410
Let's begin.

00:00:21.419 --> 00:00:26.020
Please stand comfortably, knees
soft and hips facing forward.

00:00:27.095 --> 00:00:33.835
On the inhale, move your right arm and
sweep actively forward and across from you

00:00:33.835 --> 00:00:40.145
so that the right hand ends up towards the
left space in front of your left shoulder.

00:00:40.555 --> 00:00:43.485
And then once you've reached the
edge there and can't reach anymore,

00:00:43.844 --> 00:00:49.915
roll the shoulder so that the hand
ends up up and above your head.

00:00:50.230 --> 00:00:55.610
So now your upper arm bone is closer
to your ear and you're going to feel

00:00:55.610 --> 00:00:59.870
the stretch in the back of the shoulder
and down towards the right side.

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:03.670
And once you're there, reach
just a little bit more.

00:01:05.750 --> 00:01:10.719
And when you're ready on an exhale,
sweep following the same exact

00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:12.560
path that you brought the arm up.

00:01:13.290 --> 00:01:16.260
Bring it back down towards your left side.

00:01:19.615 --> 00:01:26.565
Inhale the arm forward and across
towards your left side again, following

00:01:26.565 --> 00:01:28.525
that same path you just created.

00:01:28.905 --> 00:01:32.015
Once you can't reach
anymore, roll the shoulder.

00:01:33.505 --> 00:01:38.035
Once you're at the very edge of your
movement, reach just a little bit further

00:01:41.165 --> 00:01:48.245
and exhale slowly, following the exact
same path back down towards your side.

00:01:51.785 --> 00:01:57.074
Once again, take your right arm,
sweep forward and across towards

00:01:57.095 --> 00:01:58.775
the left side of your body.

00:01:59.870 --> 00:02:00.240
Reach.

00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:04.430
Once you can't reach anymore,
roll the shoulder up towards the

00:02:04.430 --> 00:02:09.389
ear, reach your right hand across
to the left side of the room.

00:02:09.410 --> 00:02:11.260
See if you can reach any further

00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:18.740
and exhale back down,
following the same path.

00:02:19.530 --> 00:02:23.070
with softness back down
towards your right side.

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:32.090
Inhale, reach across forward
and left in front of you.

00:02:32.539 --> 00:02:38.050
Reach just a little bit further before you
roll the shoulder back up towards the ear.

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:47.100
Exhale back down for softness and bring
the arm back down towards the side.

00:02:50.230 --> 00:02:54.780
Last one on this right side to
reach forward and across your

00:02:54.790 --> 00:02:57.440
chest and reach above your head.

00:02:58.060 --> 00:02:59.890
Reach just a little bit further.

00:03:00.209 --> 00:03:03.720
If you want to reach so much that
you feel the weight in your left foot

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:07.919
and not on your right foot as much
anymore for that extended stretch

00:03:10.769 --> 00:03:13.790
and then come back down for softness.

00:03:14.375 --> 00:03:17.445
Bring the right arm back
down towards your side.

00:03:20.715 --> 00:03:24.005
And when you're ready, let's switch sides.

00:03:24.755 --> 00:03:28.045
We're going to follow the same
movement now for the left side.

00:03:29.075 --> 00:03:34.644
Knees are soft, hips are facing forward,
and you're going to move your left

00:03:34.685 --> 00:03:40.545
arm and sweep it forward and across,
And then once you can't move the arm

00:03:40.595 --> 00:03:46.275
anymore, roll the shoulder up so that
the hand ends up above your head on

00:03:46.275 --> 00:03:53.015
the right side and your left upper arm
is close to your left ear and reach.

00:03:55.904 --> 00:04:02.055
And on the exhale, slide and
follow the same path back

00:04:02.135 --> 00:04:04.445
down towards your left side.

00:04:07.625 --> 00:04:08.725
One more time.

00:04:09.505 --> 00:04:12.685
Inhale, sweeping forward and across.

00:04:13.864 --> 00:04:14.864
Reach

00:04:20.265 --> 00:04:24.015
and exhale for softness
back down towards the side.

00:04:27.855 --> 00:04:28.965
One more time.

00:04:29.575 --> 00:04:35.164
Inhale, reach with intention,
sweeping across towards the

00:04:35.164 --> 00:04:37.325
right side with your left arm.

00:04:38.184 --> 00:04:39.184
Reach

00:04:44.745 --> 00:04:48.465
and exhale for softness
back down towards the side.

00:04:52.955 --> 00:04:54.005
One more time.

00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:55.850
Reach,

00:05:01.140 --> 00:05:06.870
and on the exhale, slide and
follow the same path back

00:05:06.950 --> 00:05:09.260
down towards your left side.

00:05:13.450 --> 00:05:20.640
One last time, inhale, sweeping
forward and across, reach,

00:05:25.949 --> 00:05:31.570
and on the exhale, follow the same
path back down towards the left side,

00:05:31.790 --> 00:05:35.099
ending with both arms by your side.

00:05:37.150 --> 00:05:39.489
That is the end of this exercise.
