side bends
Most of us tend to move forward & backward but forget about mobility in the side planes. As a result, we tend to carry tension in the lateral lines of our bodies without even realizing it.
This gentle stretch helps us open those lines, especially along the ribs, shoulders & neck, and even the top of the hips!
Because it stretches the intercostal muscles between the ribs, it can also help increase breathing capacity.
