\n

Begin sitting in a cross-legged position or Easy Sitting Pose (Sukhasana). Bring the front leg on top of the bottom leg crossing the knees one on top of the other (note that the knees may not line up completely if the hips are tight). Ensure that both sitting bones are touching the ground (use a prop is necessary). The feet should be approximately the same distance from the hips on either side of the body.<\/p>\n

If the right knee is on top, stretch the left arm straight up toward the ceiling with the palm facing back, bend at the elbow to reach down between the shoulder blades. Reach the right arm out to the side of the body and again turn the palm to the back with the thumb facing down. Bend at the elbow and rotate from the shoulder to reach up between the shoulder blades. Clasp the fingers together if it\u2019s available (or use a strap between the hands). Reach the top elbow towards the ceiling and then bottom elbow towards the floor to deepen the stretch. Lengthen up through the spine. Stay in the pose for 1-2 minutes and then repeat with the other leg on top and the opposite arm position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
