Loosen tight shoulders & sides! Gentle seated stretch for better posture and flexibility. Perfect for a quick desk break.
Sit comfortably on the floor in a cross-legged position.
Keep your spine tall and maintain an upright posture throughout the stretch.
Raise one arm overhead and bend your elbow, bringing your hand behind your neck or towards the center of your upper back.
Use your opposite hand to gently push down on the elbow of the bent arm.
Press only until you feel a comfortable, deep stretch in the triceps muscle of the bent arm; do not force it.
Hold this position for the desired duration, then release and switch sides.
Avoid arching your back while performing this stretch.
Keep your head in a neutral position, looking forward.
