In this class, we’ll strengthen the shoulders and upper back with a progression from Low Cobra to High Cobra Arm Lifts. We’ll start lying on the belly in Low Cobra, with one forearm pressing into the floor for support while the opposite arm reaches forward, thumb pointing to the sky. From there, it’s all about slow, controlled lifts and lowers, keeping the arm straight and the chest lifted the whole time. Once we’ve built that initial stability, we’ll move into High Cobra, lifting even higher through the chest and reaching the arm further back, deepening the strength work. These movements help train shoulder flexion, external rotation, and spinal extension, setting up your body for stronger, healthier shoulders.
