Opening the chest area with a bolster and cushion support – 11mins

Lying down with a bolster under the shoulder blades to create a lift into your chest, creates a space and, a cushion to support your head. If bolster is too high, use rolled thin blanket or hand towel for a support where it will gently lift. Extend your arms on to the side or above your head. Adjust lower if needed. Stay there and with a slow breath allow the rib cage to expand on you inhale and soften the shoulders, abdomen, chest as you exhale.

Then, choose if you like to use a bit of movement of lifting your head up to bring more mobility in to your thoracic spine and, to engage a core muscles. Hands clasped behind your head with elbows relax on the side. Used the gravity and exhale to relax your shoulders towards the ground and letting shoulders to open towards the sides.
