Stand with your back straight and your feet shoulder-width apart. You can do this stretch sitting down if you are not steady on your feet.
Bring your left elbow straight up while bending your arm.
Grab your left elbow with your right hand, and pull your left elbow toward your head with light pressure. If you are more flexible, you may pull your arm slightly behind your head. You will feel the stretch along the back of your arm.
