Description

In a seated position, bring your hands together in front of you while keeping your elbows close to your body. Then, lift your hands and move them behind your head while spreading your elbows to the sides. Once in this position, with your elbows pointing backward and hands behind your head, expand your rib cage by gradually lifting your hands upward, gently extending your elbows while keeping them directed backward. Return to the initial position with your hands behind your head, then release the stretch by bringing your elbows forward.
