Description

Standing or sitting, stretch up then slowly roll your shoulders: let them rise, move back, and then come down as if you wanted to slide your hands into the back pockets of your pants. Keep your elbows relaxed and your neck straight. Inhale as your shoulders go up, exhale as you bring them down. Repeat calmly, without pain.
