Movement

Shoulder Rolls

Loosens shoulders that have crept up toward your ears.

Shoulder Rolls, standing position

30s hold · standing

Big slow circles. Let the shoulders lead.

  1. Stand tall with your arms hanging loose at your sides.
  2. Lift both shoulders up toward your ears.
  3. Roll them back and down, drawing the largest circle you can.
  4. Keep going, and reverse direction halfway through.

Tips: Slow beats fast. Let each circle take about one full breath. Your arms stay relaxed and heavy. The shoulders do all of the work.

Easier: Roll one shoulder at a time if both together feels awkward. Seated works just as well as standing.
