Standing Yoga Poses & Stretches orward Fold Shoulder Yoga Stretch



Now we are going to do a forward fold shoulder stretch. This helps to open the shoulder girdle. Again starting in mountain, hands on hips, fold, hinge at the hips, relax the torso down, relax the neck. And now draw both arms back interlacing all ten fingers. Draw the shoulder blades together, squeezing the shoulder blades together and lifting the chest a bit. Opening the heart, feeling the rib cage open. Remember try not to collapse the shoulders, draw them back, squeeze the shoulder blades together, feel that shoulder girdle opening nicely, nice stretch into the shoulders and the arms. Then gently release those hands, come into ragdoll and gently roll up again inch by inch, vertebra by vertebra, back, shoulders, neck and head come up. Close the eyes, breathe and receive all that energy, circulation of the blood from forward folds.
