Movement instructions

1
Clasp your hands behind your back with your palms together, straighten arms and then rotate them so your palms face downward.
2
Raise your arms up and hold until you feel a stretch in your biceps.

Technique guidance

Breathe slowly and evenly. Exhale as you ease into a comfortable range, and never use the breath to force a deeper position.

Use only a comfortable range; a stretch may feel like tension but should not feel sharp or joint-specific.
Come out of the position slowly and use support when balance is limited.
Inspect the implement and clear its movement path before starting.

General guidance matched from movement type and equipment; it is not individualized coaching or medical advice.
