Chest Extensions in Partner Yoga

Video Transcript

"In some of our partner yoga poses we actually come into an opposition breath with our partner so Gina and I are going to demonstrate a shoulder stretch and a chest opener with extension and flexion coming into the opposition breath. We are going to come back to back to each other sitting in sukasa, an easy sitting pose, lengthening through your spine as always. We're going to hook elbows, good. Now in this particular series I am going to inhale first, open my chest as Gina exhales and rounds her shoulder blades, pressing away from each other and then Gina is going to inhale open her chest and I am going to round through my shoulder blades and press my shoulder blades away and so we're going to use this opposition to help each other come into our stretch noticing as she rounds her shoulders and opens through my chest and vice versa as I round widening my shoulder blades, Gina is allowed to get a wonderful chest expansion, opening her heart and then she is also able to open the back door to her heart through her shoulder blades. One more time like that."
