This energy-giving yoga posture helps counteract the excessive shoulder hunching we do while sitting. It also improves overall posture and shoulder flexibility while requiring minimal effort (yin posture).
If you feel a tingling sensation down the arms, slowly reverse your movements out of the posture.
Lying Chest Opener Modifications
A) Keep your left arm straight.
B) Place a block under your head.
C) Place the back of the hand of your top arm on your lower back.
