Move of the week: stretch tight shoulders with thread the needle pose

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: thread the needle.
Have you ever caught sight of your posture mid-working day? Maybe your shoulders were hunched to your ears or your back was rounded over, and you suddenly realised why you feel so stiff and sore in the upper body after eight hours at the desk.
Working on your posture is important, but to ease the immediate discomfort you can stretch out the tight muscles both before and after work with thread the needle pose.
