Shoulders after screen time
Looking at a screen tends to draw the shoulders forward and the head down. These poses reach the arms, spread the upper back, and open the front of the chest.
How to use this
- Keep the neck long and relaxed in every pose.
- If a shoulder pinches, make the movement smaller rather than pushing through it.
