"I'm Linda Black. We're here to show you shoulder strengtheners seated in cross legged position. If you'd like to bring the opposite leg forward now, we've been seated for a long time, and then re-cross. Bring the fingertips to the floor, extend through the shoulder out through the, so the fingers press against the floor. On an inhale, extend the arms straight out from the shoulder and lift with the tricep. Hold as you extend towards the outer sides of the room exhaling. Inhale, turn the head to the right and turn the palm up. Ease through that breath. Exhale, come back to center lifting through the sternum, inhale. Head turns to the left, palm rotates up, exhale back to center. Be sure and keep a nice, even extension through the spine. That's nice. Inhale, rotate the head to the right, palm lifts up. Exhale back to center. About four times each side. Inhale, rotating the head to the left, palm reaches up. Exhale back to center. Nice. Inhale, rotate up, exhale, head to the center. Beautiful. Bring the arms in gull pose and we'll be ready for the next shoulder strengthener."
