Sit on the edge of your chair with your feet firmly on the ground. Take a deep breath and as youexhale try to wrap one arm around the other. Try to connect the palms as you wrap them in frontof your face. Make sure you do not put too much pressure on the shoulders. You will be able tofeel a very nice stretch on your upper back, shoulders as well as the neck. Switch sides.
