Breath Practice & Play Rib Swing

Side Stretch

Side Stretch

Reach overhead and clasp one wrist with the opposite hand.

Using gentle traction on your wrist, lengthen into a gentle side stretch, feeling for opening and release in the space between the ribs.

Soften the jaw, soften the belly and soften the knees, allowing for a generous, spontaneous breath through an open mouth. If it’s comfortable, direct your gaze past your upper arm toward the sky.

Slowly release the stretch and move to the second side.

Continue to allow the breath to respond freely to your body experience through an open mouth. Feel into the feet and allow the legs to support your dynamic architecture.

When you’re finished, try to bring some awareness of breath movement in your sides into the next thing you do.
