  2. Stop where the front of your shoulder stretches.
  3. Hold, then repeat on the opposite side.

Breathing

Exhale as you rotate, and breathe comfortably while holding.

Cautions

  • If the front of your shoulder twinges, reduce the angle.
  • If you twist from your lower back, your shoulder will not stretch.
