Seated Overhead Reach
Warm-Up · Move 5 of 19 · 3 each side
Why this one
Sitting tall and reaching overhead opens the side ribs and lets the breath move into the sides of the body — a lovely way to finish the warm-up.
How to do it
Sit tall. Reach both arms up overhead and lengthen through both sides, then lean gently to one side and back, and to the other.
Keep in mind
Grow taller as you reach — lift up and out of the hips.
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? →
