Move 5 of 7
Starting position
Stand facing forward, fingertips on the side of the door frame, arm straight out at shoulder height.
8–10 sets
Breath — Inhale to prepare · Exhale to execute
How to do it
Slowly side-bend your neck, dropping the opposite ear toward the opposite shoulder, only to a mild pull. Hold, then switch sides.
Keep in mind
Keep the working shoulder packed firmly down; move only to a gentle, never painful, stretch.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
