Air Angels

Technique

How to perform Air Angels

1. Lie face down on a mat with your legs extended and your forehead lightly touching the surface.
2. Position your arms so that your forearms remain parallel to the ground while keeping your elbows and hands slightly lifted off the floor.
3. Engage your core and upper back muscles to stabilize your body.
4. This is your starting position.
5. Inhale as you slowly move your arms upward and outward in a controlled arc, mimicking the motion of wall angels while maintaining your forearms parallel to the ground.
6. Exhale as you reverse the movement, carefully lowering your arms back to the starting position and keeping tension in your shoulder blades.
7. Focus on smooth, deliberate motion throughout the exercise, ensuring that your elbows and hands remain off the mat.
