A brief six-minute excerpt (two cameras) from a recent Melbourne Stretch Teacher Workshop.

Olivia ("Liv", "Miss O", "Charm"; "She of a thousand names") demonstrates and leads a 'follow along' version of this excellent lateral flexion stretch.

In addition to stretching the obliques, extending the arm adds a powerful latissimus dorsi stretch, and the rolling of the top shoulder forward while reaching the arm out becomes a strong quadratus lumborum stretch, in time. And if you let your head hang to the side as well, as she is demonstrating, the neck is stretched too.
