Skandha Chakra (Shoulder roll)

October 29, 2008

Stand up straight with your feet together. Inhale, raise your hands to shoulder level, bending them at the elbows. Exhale, bend forward, keeping your hands still at shoulder level. This is one round. Do this several times.

Sequence: It is ideal as a start-up pose that gets you prepared for other difficult squats and forward bends. So place it at the beginning of a flow, before a kaliasana squat or ardhachandrasana.

Benefits: Great upper body work-out. Tones the spine.
