"Take a big breath as you drop your belly and look gently up, arching the spine," instructs Harris."Reverse that movement by breathing out while drawing the belly in and rounding the upper back, protracting the shoulder blades.""Sit or stand tall and drop your chin to your chest," Harris says."Relax your shoulder blades down the back. Start to draw small and slow half circles with your nose, feeling a stretch in your neck and into your trapezius muscles.
Start by lying flat on your stomach with your forearms placed beside your chest. Inhale and press your chest up, making sure your shoulders don't creep toward your ears. Hold cobra pose for 30 to 45 seconds. "This stretch can also be performed on your back," Harris says."Bend both knees, planting your feet on the floor. Cross one foot over the other thigh. Thread hands through the space between the legs and around the non-stretching leg. The closer you draw your legs to your chest, the deeper the stretch.""Since gravity works down on us all day long, it's common for our chest muscles to get tight," explains Harris.
