Cow Face Pose illustration

How to do it

Sitting tall, reach one arm up and bend the elbow to drop the hand down your back; bring the other arm up behind the lower back and clasp the hands or a towel between them.

What it should feel like

A deep opening through the back of the upper arm and the front of the shoulder. If the hands do not meet, a towel gives the same stretch.

Common mistakes

Rounding the back and flaring the ribs to force the clasp. Keep the spine tall and the ribs knitted in, opening from the shoulders only.
