Description

Get down on all fours, with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips, elbows slightly bent to avoid locking them in hyperextension. As you inhale, gradually spread your shoulder blades by pushing the floor away with your hands, which lifts your sternum and spine toward the sky. Then, as you exhale, bring your shoulder blades closer together to let your chest and sternum gently sink toward the floor. Continue the repetitions in a smooth, controlled manner, keeping your core engaged.
