Side-Lying Pose for Deeper Breathing

This supported side-lying stretch uses yoga blocks (or a bolster for a gentler version) to help create space between your ribs for deeper breathing. This pose can help ease fascial tightness. Bring the block up towards your armpit to target the lats and serratus anterior. Avoid putting weight on the floating ribs.
