15 min Yoga for Shoulder Flexibility & Mobility - FREE UP YOUR SHOULDERS

[@yogawithkassandra]

*Did you feel anything from the breathing exercise in the beginning?*

[@antonioi51]

Yep. Sure did!

[@samanthaprice6774]

Definitely!

[@sarahnighthawk1]

Yes! That exercise was surprisingly super effective for me. My shoulders started making crackling sounds . Wonderful!

[@eleonoragiupponi5373]

Yes indeed!

[@miriam244]

It felt hard to coordinate myself at first, but I did feel something and it felt good :) I look forward to continuing this practice, its effects were especially noticeable at the end doing eagle arms, as normally that feels so tight for me, but this time it felt easier :)

[@rosebud1958]

Tightest shoulders on earth 🌍 here. Update I’ve been doing this consistently for the entire week. This is help me beyond so grateful. Anybody reading this just stay on it and keep doing it. It’s changed my life. Thank you Cassandra. Blessings.❤

[@temporarycorrespondence]

Really felt the breathing exercise. My physical therapist said that breathing just like that helps to strengthen your core as well. I find that it also helps with my digestion. Thank you, Kassandra! You're my yoga queen!

[@laceyleachman7674]

This is one of the best shoulder flexibility videos I’ve ever done-would love more like this for shoulders and chest!

[@marypl4152]

My shoulders, especially the left, are a hot mess. So this was AMAZING. I felt it even before I started the breathwork. It was difficult but felt really, really good. I can't believe how good, my shoulders, neck and upper back feel. Thank you Kassandra 💗

[@shel1954]

Yes. The breathing helped. Some poses 6 simple, but the shoulders with the strap was beyond me. I couldn't bring them to or below level in the back. I don't know what muscles are giving me trouble. I think the variety of stretches helped. Tomorrow I'll see how much. Thank you. I am so glad you make these videos! Namaste!

[@aprylyearout]

The breathing exercise was very mild for me, but I felt it. The shoulder flossing was exactly what I needed!

[@SandraCodes]

I work a desk job, so my shoulders are always very tight. This was the perfect practice to start my day off with! Thank you, Kassandra

[@yshuff7603]

Wow Wie wow!!! I had been walking around with my right shoulder AND shoulder blade Stiffness and minor pain for about a week! I literally stumbled on this video and decided to go for it... results: WHAT STIFFNESS, WHAT PAIN??! They're both are gone and I'm a very Happy camper... this 62 yr old #queenager thank you 100 times over!!🙏🏾🙏🏾😁

[@mairavp]

That is perfect for practice while traveling! After long flights my shoulders get really stiff! Thank you, Kassandra!

[@jodeenwink7215]

Yes, Kassandra, the breathing exercise at the beginning is a good stretch through the shoulders and upper back. On some days--depending on what else I've been doing--it can put too much strain on the back of my neck, especially if I have been lifting weights beforehand. The shoulder flossing is great. Thanks for your work.

[@patriciao6594]

This felt amazing. I reduced my yoga practice due to shoulder injury and have not been able to fully practice since.

[@christietuyetmainigro8868]

Kassandra I've been having shoulder pain and lack of movements that began with a massive stiff neck 5 months ago. Now the pain travelled to my wrist and it's interfering with sleep. Today I'm determined to do some serious stretching to alleviate neck, shoulder, and wrist pains by practicing all of your neck & shoulders stretches videos except for the beginner neck & shoulders, and immediately I feel a relief. Thank you and you have no idea how much and how many of your videos touched ❤ and helped the collective. 📿🙏✌️❤️🔆

[@merzeng686]

So much loved this one! My neck and shoulders are always a tight and tense place for me as well so for years I'm using your video's to open up! Love your half hour YIN practice for grief and sadness for this as well. Play that one a lot even thought I'm not sad all the time hahaha. Would love more upper back yin or slow flows as well! Thank you for all the amazing yoga work you do for us! Can't imagine my life without you and your yoga in my home.

[@luletterose8462]

same! I've shared that one with all my family and close friends -that is the best practice ! love all these thank you Kassandra

[@wendyclarke9573]

I'll have to try that yin one , sounds yummy

[@RIOceanYogi]

I felt the breathing exercise in my shoulders! I was pleasantly surprised by that! It's a good reminder that breath is a powerful tool! Wonderful practice! Thank you, Kassandra! 🧘🏻‍♀️

[@TanjiNZ]

Every time I look for a specific yoga exercise, I find your offerings. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And yes, I felt the breathing a lot. Wonderful class. ❤

[@withinreachastrology]

My shoulders and arms feel so refreshed from this practice! I highly recommend this one as monthly or weekly maintenance for those with desk jobs!

[@anialessandro6988]

I didn’t feel the breathing exercise as much but all the other poses were very effective. I will keep trying it because sometimes I am just so tight it takes a while to get the sensations. Thank you so much!

[@Ashlett337]

Girl, that was BRUTAL! 😂 apparently my shoulders are tight AF because already the 1st lying down pose was super hard. I wasn't able to keep my lower back and my shoulders pressed to the mat at the same time. And then every single exercise seemed to hit me exactly where it hurts 😅 thank you for this, I intend to repeat it

[@emyjillian]

These are the best shoulder stretches I've ever done. I'm constantly battling with pain in my shoulder and this is helping me manage, strengthen and still be able to do all the activities I love to do like surfing!!

[@hopegaecke1864]

Kassandra I loved this one because I play golf and my shoulders are always tight. I did have to put a block in my hands to help weight my shoulders down on the breathing exercise to feel it. I did feel it opening up after that. Thank you!!!

[@MBBeautifulYoga]

Loved the video! Thank you darling ❤

[@judigagnon7537]

Yes I did, I felt tension in my shoulders but it released as we continued to breathe thru it. Thank you

[@shashipandey2452]

Always feel amazing after doing yoga with you. I felt the breathing exercise but not too much.

[@johnumair]

Winged scapula, and tight shoulders. The breathing excersie hits me so intense! and all the way through I am kind of drolling due to relaxation! Thanks a ton

[@amybethcapizzi9180]

Absolutely felt the stretch in the front of the shoulders and chest with the breathing exercise! Loved this, thank you. ❤

[@garybrowett5681]

I feel amazing after I have done this exercise. The breathing exercise felt great! Thank you. 🤗

[@madiyogi]

Loved the breath practice to start the class, really helped open my shoulders and bring breath and awareness to that area

[@paulinamolina4280]

Thankyou so much for this practice. It is helping me so much post shoulder surgery

[@suebaribass]

Thank you Thank you Thank you!! 😃❤️

[@alihakim8680]

I’ve been struggling with my shoulders a lot lately, due to my desk job and lack of self-care. I saw this come up on my recommended videos and knew I had to do it. This felt amazing. /if/ I can keep myself accountable and continue moving, I’m sure this will help open up o some of my problem areas. Hard part is continuing to take care of myself. I either struggle to get up in the morning to get self-care items done, or I’m too exhausted after work.

[@rosebud1958]

My shoulders are folded forward due to being a chef, my entire life, bending over, hovering over pots pans, etc. this really helps me keep doing it make time for yourself heal your own body❤❤❤

[@elysebuligan4209]

J’ai adoré la respiration du début… ça m’a aidé, entre autres, à garder mon bas de dos au sol. Quelle belle session pour l’ouverture des épaules. Très bénéfique! Merci beaucoup.

[@natasaelement]

The breathing exercise was fantastic ❤And the whole practice! I keep coming back to this video!😊 Thank you!

[@ashleymckinney2002]

I also have tight shoulders. The breathing exercise was a lovely start to this practice in which my shoulders were gently stretched without too much intensity. The breathing exercise opened my chest and lengthened my muscles to prepare for this practice. I plan to follow this routine regularly to love on my shoulders!

[@barbaraaustin8262]

Definitely felt the breathing! Just back from a long road trip, and going to add this to my “road trip must-do” list. So great for releasing the tension created in my shoulders from driving long distances!

[@tinamcwilliams9715]

This is the best shoulder stretch I have done. Thank you.

[@judynelson8987]

Was a great flow. I felt the first stretch a lot in my shoulders whenever we were lying on our backs. Definitely put this on repeat whenever my shoulders need a good stretch.

[@kennethmontoya6731]

My shoulder get tight from heavy weight lifting especially shoulder presses this really loosen me up thanks Kassandra u have taught me a lot of different parts of the body with yoga see you tomorrow morning have a good day thumbs up

[@catherinebailey1151]

Thank you for the much needed shoulder stretches. I spent the weekend digging in the garden and this brought my attention to how tight my upper back and shoulders are. I didn’t feel the breathing exercise at the start but I will try it again; my shoulders need this attention.

[@kiyarashhaghparast5055]

Hi Kassandra. I didn't push too far and the practice worked great. Also found the breathing exercise, exhales were easier to feel than inhales for me. Thank you very much for your classes😊🌻

[@deborah9606]

The breathing exercise in the beginning was super helpful. I was able to breathe clearly and really open up. I tense my shoulders a lot so that exercise was the perfect way to start off the flow!

[@michelledubreuil1830]

yes I feel a big strech from the breathing exercice, thank you Kssandra !

[@wuanchanx6182]

Great mix of poses. All new to me (basically a beginner that’s been at it a while). I felt all the poses through the shoulders. Excellent instructions and descriptions of what we should be feeling. Helps to better understand if I am doing the poses correctly. Thank you!

[@tahuonglinh921]

I had shoulder pains at the front of my arms. I did the yoga exercised 3 days in a row and it relieved the pain completely. My shoulders are light and free now. Highly recommend for desk workers!

[@ruthannlaurvick6078]

I felt the breathing exercise mostly in my core, my shoulders as well but not as much. REALLY felt it in dolphin pose, and always struggle with puppy pose. I've been so looking forward to a new practice targeting shoulders! I've been working at a bakery since the start of the year and my shoulders are always so sore and stiff that I'll often do another practice at the end of the day to relieve some of that tension. This video will become one of my regulars to repeat!

[@guesswho2042]

I absolutely felt the breathing exercise because I have a really tight neck and shoulders. Thank you for this!

[@shamnanshyurack]

Have a nice day, Kassandra! Thank you again!

[@leannejewitt2034]

Absolutely love the breathing exercise and this entire routine! Shoulders feel amazing!

[@gunitabauere468]

I woke up this morning with pain in my shoulder and neck. And there you go - the first thing I see is Kassandra's video for stiff shoulders!! The breathing exercise really helps. Everything happened in my body exactly the way you described. THANK YOU!

[@MariSaint-Pierre]

That shoulder move with the arms pressing into the floor as you breathe into the belly was intense but also a wonderful stretch and release. Thanks!

[@IngridvanMusschenbroek]

I have frozen shoulders on both shoulders. I have been doing Physio for over a year. So happy to see this and be able to do. Some poses I am way off but will be doing this one often to help with stretches. Thank you.

[@leslie4551]

I liked the breathing exercise. I struggle with inhaling and exhaling at the right time but always find these targeted breathing exercises help me become more aware of newer and deeper places i can take my breath.

[@agb-tj9jy]

This one is so amazing! I feel so relieved and my shoulders feel wider and lower! Didn't feel the breathing exercises too much.

[@patriciacrespo971]

Thank you for this practice and for all the videos you share with everyone. Thanks for your generosity!❤

[@shamnanshyurack]

I feel much better! Thank you ever so!

[@ManuelHernandez-fs5rc]

Thank you!! My shoulder discomfort seems to be gone now! Would love a longer sequence like this

[@medtutorials3916]

Another favorite!! My shoulders feel much better :) Thank you so much!!

[@lisaruhlsanner5313]

Yes, definitely felt that. I keep a lot of stress in my shoulders and upper back, and this loosened me up. Saving this, and will do this practice again and again and again... TY @Kassandra!❤

[@emilyyoull837]

Amazing thank you! My shoulders are always tight and cause me problems with pain and posture. Definitely felt the breathing exercise ❤

[@luciehsuen8981]

Thanks Kassandra, Most of us do have some form of shoulder discomfort. Some one shoulder some both shoulders. These stretches really help. With consistency of practice our shoulder should gain some form of mobility. Will definitely come back to this one. ❤️

[@kristinaellis758]

The breath work was way more intense than I was expecting - in a good way! Definitely going to keep practicing that. One side felt much tighter than the other.

[@rosebud1958]

Beginner here, my shoulders are extremely tight left side more the right. While doing the breathing exercises, hands overhead the left side not even touching the floor,right size barely touching. I need this and thank you so much. I will continue to improve my health and body through your beautiful videos. Blessings ❤ Felt the breathing exercise immensely beautiful thank you again

[@gatesofeden]

I did this class with my partner-a wonderful class overall! Specifically for the breathing exercise at the beginning, he didn't feel anything and I felt a little, but not much. I get the sense that it's a more advanced stretch that only "works" if you are able to get the nuances right, which is difficult. Nevertheless, as someone who's used your classes almost daily for several years, I always appreciate you bringing new or creative poses and options to your channel!

[@jasontuhy5238]

Thanks! Felt the breathing stretch and loved it!

[@wuanchanx6182]

Yes, did feel the sensation through the shoulders with the breathing exercises. Definitely breathing out while keeping the tummy extended and pulling in the rib cage in is the trick…again, excellent instructions.

[@aimeekessler3108]

I really liked the opening breathing exercise. I will incorporate it into my morning routine

[@JasonHann-x7x]

This is a great shoulder flexibility routine. I’ve done it a couple of times now, and will continue coming back to it. I’m 50, and played many years of rugby - my shoulders are a mess, but this really helps. Thanks Kassandra!

[@nikin1001]

Loved the way the breathing exercise made my back feel

[@EG-vz8ys]

Definitely felt the breathing exercise, upper back on the right. Will keep doing it! Thank you!

[@katievoigt7979]

I felt it from the beginning, have a lot of problems with my right shoulder and this felt so good

[@sheachilds2083]

The breathing exercise was very intense for me but I can tell it will help me with repetition. Thank you for your flows

[@hujin4378]

Great yoga session that focuses on your shoulders ❤

[@CatherineJones-gf2um]

I sure did feel the first breathing exercise! It was great - my shoulders are definitely my stiffest area so this was fantastic! Thank you!

[@JeanRiling]

This really helped. Thank you!!!

[@kateh8269]

Fabulous exercises, very timely for a tired old gardener! The breathing exercises at the beginning were a revelation! Will definitely do more. Thank you Kassandra

[@shelbypires7639]

Definitely felt the breathing exercise! I weight train and recently injured my shoulder. On top of that I’ve got a horrid cold which is making everything in my chest and shoulders feel tight. This flow was exactly what I needed! The twinge in my shoulder feels better already so will be returning to this flow whilst I recover and when I start weight training again as clearly my shoulders need some tlc! Thanks Kassandra!

[@ChristineRusso-hr2fb]

Thank you Kassandra. I have always thought my shoulders were tight....after this class, I REALLY noticed how tight they are. I'm going to do this every other day to help me loosen up.

[@chapplepeach29]

This is fantastic!! Wow, I really needed this. I didn't realize what sitting at a desk was effecting me so much. This will help loosen things up so my neck isn't getting all the tension. I've probably done all of your shoulder and extremities videos and I really like this!!

[@tammyo9724]

I felt the stretch on the sides of my rib cage. Thanks for the stretching techniques!

[@prishakya6297]

Tight muscles of mine always thanks you. Love each of you videos. Thank you for your effort.

[@bexstirling9769]

I really felt the breathwork at the beginning of class in the upper back and shoulders - I shall be doing this more often and I loved the video.

[@martacomellas9095]

My Jobs is most of the time sitting. Your class with shoulders work was great. I've felt very good all day. Thanks Kassandra❤

[@Texasymbols]

This was eye opening on how tight my right shoulder and pectoral is compared to my left, which is tight, too! I’ll be adding this to my yoga practice often!

[@jennimackenzie7258]

Yes I could feel the shoulders in the breathing exercise. It was all very good thank you x

[@kararempfer3520]

The breathing exercise really helped. From the very first stretch and breathing position, this video provided the perfect therapy sequence to bring release and relief for my shoulders.

[@MollyMiIIions]

I clicked on this routine on accident today, then realized it was exactly what I needed! I definitely felt the breathing exercise in the beginning in my upper and middle back. Thank you so much for everything you post.

[@noralynpropps2327]

Hi Kassandra! Thanks for this practice, my shoulders feels so much looser now. I did not feel much stretch in my upper body during the breathing exercise but more in my abs. Have a great day.

[@stefanhanoulle3861]

Yes worked pretty well. Found this practice when I was actually suffering from a heavy stiffness in my shoulders and upper back. Helped pretty much. Thank you!

[@lineholmhansen3177]

Yes I felt it in a very good way. I'll for sure do that pos again.

[@klaramanzelova3062]

Thank you so much Kassandra. This class was exactly, what I needed for my pain and stiffness, that I hold in my shoulder and neck for many months. I definitely felt a lot while doing breathing exercice. I wish for more videos like this. Thank you again for you wonderful classes🌺💮Namasté,Klára.

[@ceciliaforsberg1110]

This was super great! The breathing exercise was wonderful! Just what I needed. And the rest as well. Will do this again.

[@cansubaykan1063]

This exercise take me out of my comfort zone and yess the exercise work out 💫

[@lorijohnson9823]

After this practice decided my word for the day would be open. 💜

[@saramarija21]

Wow! Dear Kassandra, you never fail to amaze me! ❤

[@lorirousseau4069]

Love these short stretchy segments!

[@menasheep]

This was an amazing class! I've been struggling with a pretty gnarly neck and shoulder injury (caused by thoracic outlet syndrome) for the last 9 months, and it's only now beginning to feel somewhat normal again if still tight. The breathing exercise felt easy for me, however, I did notice immediate popping in my upper back during the first breath round. I felt the most opening during the Eagle Arms pose at the end. It felt like the stiffness in my neck and shoulders was finally getting some much-needed breathing room. I'm going to keep this class in regular rotation during my healing. Thanks for another fantastic session, Kassandra! Blessed be 💖

[@micheleszewczyk4563]

Wonderful practice! I felt the breathing exercise and it gave me relief I didn’t even know I needed! Thank you!

[@anageyer2651]

Great breathing exercise as I have bronchitis and cannot take a full breath without coughing. By the end of this 15 minutes, my breathing is much deeper and I am more comfortable. Thank you

[@mel.k.i]

Love this practice! The breathing exercise at the beginning felt great, thank you Kassandra! ❤

[@h5183]

I did feel this stretch and look forward to it tomorrow! 😊
