  • Raise both arms and press your forearms and palms flat against the two walls at the adjusted angle specific to this variation
  • Keep your spine tall and your core lightly engaged
  • Lean your body gently forward into the corner until you feel a comfortable stretch across your chest and the fronts of your shoulders
  • Hold the stretch for the desired duration, breathing steadily
