Yoga made easy.

Ouch! Rounded shoulders

The shoulder joint is mobile but less stable. Prolonged use of gadgets and long work hours affect the shoulders. In addition, improper postures lead to rounded shoulders, which may result in pain on the shoulders, arm and neck. Here is a simple technique that can help relieve rounded shoulders.

Method

* Stand upright at an arm's distance from the wall.
* Raise the left hand up to the level of the shoulders (If this is difficult or painful, reduce the height).
* Stretch the left arm and rest the palm on the wall.
* Press the palm firmly against the wall.
* Gently turn to the right as much as possible.
* Keep the feet closer, legs straight and trunk upright.
* Tighten the muscles of the left arm and the shoulders.
* As you inhale slowly, the abdominal cavity should expand.
* As you exhale slowly, the abdominal cavity should contract.
* Stay for about 30 to 60 seconds.
* Slowly turn sideways and release the left arm.
* Change side and repeat.

Tailpiece.

Got up at a 5' to 4, had a wash, recited my prayers and turned off to sleep yet again. Got up at a quarter past 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 8. We were off to the Foundation soon after.

A lot many jobs were done in the preparation for tomorrow's event. Visited the Cantonment and Museum Police Stations to inform them about the Vaayana Dinam. Gave them the posters.

Participated in the 573rd episode of the Aazhchakkoottam : "Atom and Food" by Dr Hari, Senior Scientist from BAARC from 1600 - 1730 hrs. An interesting topic and discussions.

Visited the AKG Centre's hall which is the venue for our event tomorrow. 

Went to the Thycaud Sastha kshetram along with Maman. Lord Ayyappan came out of his sanctum sanctorum after his feed as part of the evening 'seeveli'. The circumambulation of the temple brought me old memories from my childhood when we used to visit the temple along with my elders.

Secured at a half past 10 from the Foundation.
