5. Candleholder / Stretch pectoral muscles
Extend both arms upward, inhaling as you do so. Exhale, allowing your arms to fall into a ninety-degree angle, extending straight outward from your shoulders with the lower arms pointing upward. This is called the "candleholder" position. The palms of the hands should face inward, with the shoulder blades facing downward. Keep your head level and gaze straight ahead. Now slowly turn your upper body to the right, making shure to turn the rib cage only and keep the pelvis stable. Your head should remain aligned with your rib cage. Exhale, returning to center, and repeat to the left side.
