Air Angels

Technique

How to perform Air Angels

1. Lie face-down with the forehead resting lightly on the floor and the legs extended.
2. Bend the elbows into a wall-angel-like position and lift the hands and elbows slightly clear of the floor.
3. Keep the torso down as you sweep the arms toward an overhead position.
4. Allow the shoulder blades to move with the arms while maintaining hand and elbow clearance.
5. Reverse the sweep under control without lifting the torso to create more range.
6. Repeat smoothly through the range you can hold actively.
