Lie in a fetal position, knees together. Hold your top knee with the arm that is resting on the ground and grab your rib cage with the top arm. While keeping your lower body in the fetal position, pull your rib cage open with the top arm so your shoulders lie flat on the ground. Hold for 15 seconds.
