Diagonal Extensions for Rib and Back Mobility

Listed by the publisher as “Shoulder Stretch”

The lesson begins in sitting and then transitions to lying on the back, exploring diagonal movements of the arms and legs. You will gently stretch your limbs in opposite directions, using foot pressure to tilt the pelvis and roll the torso. The movements involve crossing the legs and coordinating head and eye movements to soften the rib cage and back.
