Threading The Needle - Chemmy's Tips

Start on your hands and knees on the floor.

Make sure your hands are underneath your shoulders and your hips above your knees.

Extend one arm.

Whilst exhaling thread through underneath the other arm, rotating your thoracic.

This should feel like a lovely release of the back.

Repeat 5 times each side.
