The next pose is a lot like the last pose. We're going to turn to the wall. We're going to make this position with our arms. When you go to the wall, you want to take the elbows, directly in line with the shoulders. The fingers will be interlaced. See, turn to face the wall. Place the forearms at the wall, let me move my hair, so you can see my shoulder blades. As you press into the elbows, and in to the forearms, draw the shoulders back into the upper back, so you feel the shoulder blades supporting the heart. As soon as they support the heart, this will allow the heart to open more fully. From that support, let the heart melt toward the wall, and the shoulder blades draw deeper into the upper back. The throat again, stays in line with the shoulders, and the eyes can gaze directly at the wall, in line with the floor. At the end of your exhalation, you can release from the wall, and let your arms release by the side.
