Lastly, if you have the YBC App and take a min to review it, send a screenshot of your review to Lauren and we'll send you a little something in thanks.
Today I've got a little something for the ol' hammies and shoulders. This pose kills two birds with one stone, which is a weird saying, but I'm going with it. Anyway, here's how it works:
1. Take a wide stance and turn the feet in so they're slightly pigeon toed.
2. Take a deep breath in and lengthen throughout the whole body as you interlace your fingers behind your back and press the palms together.
3. As you exhale, hinge at the hips and fold forward, keeping your hands positioned at the low back. When you can't go forward anymore, press into the palms even more and slowly begin to lift the arms, bringing them up to the sky and then coming parallel to the ground.
4. Breathe 3 - 5 breaths and when you're ready to come out, bring the hands to the low back first, then bend the legs and round the back until you come to stand.
Let me know how it goes down in the comments below and if there's anything specific you'd like to see broken down this way, just let a sista know!
