Chest & Upper Body Opening Flow

Think chest, neck, shoulders, back body, arms and abs. Think heart space, tender, with everything going on in our world. Think counterbalance, of all time spent at the desk or simply collapsed in understandable unawareness. This session is both a workout for the body and the soul, a practice of support and strengthening. With plenty of stretch too. Join me for this blend of therapeutic yoga and traditional hatha yoga flow with a focus on the upper body and chest.. Expect some new variations of poses you may know - along with the invitation to reconnect, move slowly and breathe deeper. Let me know how this one goes for you in the comment section below! Share this video with a friend if you think they may feel supported by it!

[@graceearly8114]

Iv struggled with a chronic external lower back tilt since I was 12. Doctors always telling me to just “work on my core” never appealed to me doing crunches and sit ups so I just didn’t. Really started taking my yoga seriously the past 6 months. For the FIRST TIME IN MY BLOODY LIFE I am naturally keeping my back straight and my spine curved how it is meant to. It’s all thanks to the focus on finding my center, it’s thanks to you, this channel, this community and dedication . Thank you thank you thank you, I can’t wait to see were my journey continues to take me but right now I am just so grateful for my body’s ability to grow. I am strong. And you are all wonderful 💓💓💓💓💓💓

I was feeling a lot of aches & pains, esp. stiffness on my upper body and ooh! my!, those deep stretches was all worth it,, all the tense tight chest, shoulders and arms needed this practice so much. I feel more flexible, relieved and relaxed afterwards.

I can’t even begin to describe the pain I’ve felt as a young woman for the past 6 years, but it feels like I’m carrying the weight of a 50lb backpack all day, every day. I wake up this way too and probably why I’m exhausted in the mornings and during most of the day. This yoga session was really nice, thank you Adrienne

[@krkemp12]

Beginner here, love this one. So slow and careful but yet deceptively challenging! I had to pause 12 minutes in to remove some layers! I'm finding I'll start a video, and stop when I can see I need to leave it a day or two. When I come back, it's more familiar and I can push to the end. Slow and steady, I've been doing this a few weeks now and still on Day 2 of the very first 30 days of yoga, stopping when I need to learn more and doing the Foundations of Yoga videos or a stretch. Can notice myself being more mindful of how I walk (even just around the house) since I started these. Thank you!
