'OPEN-SHOULDER' POSITION vs. 'SHOULDER-MOBILITY':
A loaded open-chain tool for developing mobility in the thoracic spine & 'open-shoulder' position. One thing which should be understood from the outset is that 'open-shoulder' refers a FORM (or, rather, and ANGLE under the armpit between your torso and upper-arm), and does NOT mean, nor is it necessarily dependent upon, your actual shoulder mobility (i.e. the range that your arms can freely move through as determined by the allowances around your glenohumeral joint).
More accurately, 'open shoulder' refers to the available range of straight-arm, overhead arm-flexion when in position of slight external shoulder rotation (as you would be in your handstand).

Anterior-shoulder chest & RC stretches
THE WHAT:
Simple stretching variations for regular use toward mitigating & reversing kyphotic posture. Whether through lifestyle or practice habits, 'kyphosis' is characterised by excessive hypertonicity in the anterior musculature of the upper-body, translating to general "tightness" in both 'pr... -
Overhead (OH) shoulder ROM and stabil...
THE WHAT:
A basic overhead (OH) shoulder-stabilisation and range-of-motion (ROM) sequence to help keep your shoulders in their sockets. For those who are extremely hyper-/flexible, working with rotations WITHIN the end-ranges will help to build STRENGTH there (ie. 'stability' in this context') to... -
Lumbar-extension stretching
THE WHAT:
Simple contexts for exploring & developing the ranges of lumbar extension in a low-intensity manner, simply by locating and “releasing” any excess, “superficial” tension being held in both the abdominal and lower-back musculature. BE MINDFUL of your sensations and AVOID stretching too “...
