Yoga for Upper Body Tension Relief ( BEST Stretches for Neck, Shoulders and Upper Back )

[@stella956a]

I love how you take your time in each posture! It really helps me to fully release, not feel rushed, and get the most out of each pose. Thank you!

[@ultimatestar705]

I was thinking the same thing!

You're the most underrated yoga instructor on KZbin. Thank you so much!

[@marleenfaber5101]

Glad You-Tube brought your videos to my body. After many other Yoga-instructors I keep coming back to yours and just stay there now for many months. Thank you so much for your great work. Your voice, calmness and especially time you take for the poses, bring much benefit to my aging body. Feel much more flexible and strong than ever 🙏❤️

Began this practice with a significant upper back pain after w whole week of sitting at work. Ended up being relaxed so much I snoozed during śavasana 😀 Thank you, Bird!

[@rayyysmr]

bird, i really resonate with your style of teaching and i have been feeling increasingly more loosened up & relaxed after practicing with your videos consistently for the past several weeks. keep up the amazing work! 💛

[@cassielee_]

Thank you. Wonderful. Enjoyed the music too 🤍✨

[@createliv247]

I did this last night after a long day of being sleep deprived and having massive tension in my neck and shoulders from working out the day prior and not getting enough sleep. it was the first time i could feel my internal body energy loosening up, by the end of the practice i could breathe more clearly and i actually felt flow in my body. especially with that pose with the block. then i was able to restfully fall asleep. thank you so much, truly an amazing experience🙏❤️

[@clairehitchcock2173]

Love this. My neck was so sore before I started this stretch and now I feel so much better.

[@sparklemegzthemagnificent2335]

Loved the long holds but needed more warm up.

[@tlsc3563]

Thank you Bird 🙏🤲💚👐

[@corvuscorax142]

I started doing other Yoga videos lately, just seeing what's out there and they left me no choice but to keep returning to your collection. Thank you Bird, you are truly the best.

[@rachelespeland1265]

My fur babies decided I needed help. Lol This was intense, but the modifications helped. I'm 1 year past a work accident that really me up. Lately have had bad flare-ups. I had no idea how tight my ribs were till doing the back bend. This is where I needed the modifications.

[@divinesoulsista5425]

I feel amazing! My practice has been focused on mornings but practicing at night is doing wonders. Keep up the great work. I love your channel💙

[@YogaWithBird]

Incredible! I’m so glad that you are enjoying the classes ❤️❤️

[@kgreene460]

I injured my shoulder during a workout and this practice tremendously helped relieve the pain and get the muscles back in place, thank you so much Bird!

[@mariabr5119]

I love your classes, Bird! And especially this one! Thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@gemmahirst9595]

This was intense and relaxing Love the music

[@shellyloonatic5318]

Wow Bird, I don't know how to thank you. I'm a student during final season, I spend 9 to 10 hours a day on my desk studying, add on to that all the stress. My back, neck and shoulders were hurting so much it was making me miserable, I've tried so many medications that barely helped and only for a couple of hours. The relief I've felt from these stretches had me almost crying at the end, specially the stretch with the block. Thank you so so so much.

[@mazzerb2894]

I love these vids so gentle just what need with my extreme chronic pain I was so stiff tday got such bad posture, not sleepin and lot stress so grateful for this it has relaxed me abit xx

[@christinafast4459]

Amazing stretches

[@rachelmartinofficialmusic]

Very nice! The only thing that would’ve helped me is a few more reminders to breath and check in with breath / breathe deep, i noticed myself holding my breat.

[@sitrii5662]

it was exactly what i was looking for) thank you, i feel how my back and neck are alive again

[@maritseverijnse1876]

[@YogaWithBird]

So happy this class can offer you a bit of relaxation, Liliana! ❤️🤗

[@saraparks8215]

A really wonderful practice.

[@julesgarcia5854]

Omg! I woke up with alot of tension in my upper back & neck. I am stiff! Perhaps i need a new pilow! I certainly hope these stretches will loosen me up. Thanx!

[@cecilreyes5583]

This was amazing. I have been doing your morning and evening routines, it has helped my sleep and rising patterns so I tried your more target ones. I am feeling a bit stiff from my right back down to my arms and wrists probably from week long desk works, after doing this, I felt better. The gentle twists and stretches gave the much needed pull in my nerves and muscles, I think 💕

[@laurenfarrell4588]

🙏 Namaste 🖤

You are so welcome💗

[@crystallinetraveler]

I woke up with a stiff neck and it's nearly gone thank you bird!

[@EchoBeneath]

The spine stretch over the block has helped immensely since I started doing it a month ago however I still can't get my head to rest on the mat without some support underneath, could that be due to tension higher up(maybe in the neck)? Love your videos!

[@YogaWithBird]

Every body is different and increases flexibility at a different speed. Using the block under your back can be pretty intense especially if poor posture is present or rather “hunch” or “forward head posture” these will surely keep the crown of the head from resting on the mat. But can also be due to a tight front body. It could also be wrong positioning of the block. I can’t see how you use it so I can’t tell you exactly why this may be but if you have a proper positioning of the block just take time, it will happen. The body will adapt, it’s such a intense chest opener and something the body is unfamiliar with. Enjoy the process ❤️❤️❤️

[@EchoBeneath]

@@YogaWithBird Bird, I really appreciate your comment!! You are totally on point about the hunch/forward head posture, I accidentally developed this habitual bad posture/technique by leaning over my musical instrument for hours and hours a day without thinking about it. Unfortunately this caused repetitive strain injury and I have dealt with chronic pain in both arms for 4 years now. Finally starting yoga and following your videos for the last 1.5 - 2 months has been HUGE and already getting better results than some very expensive forms of physical therapy that I did for years. It was extremely intense when I first started with the block(even after using an arched back stretcher for many months beforehand!) couldn't even manage the first few times, but slowly started opening up, I think you are right it will just take some more time. Apologies about this block of text but there's my story, your channel is helping immensely, thank you again!

[@annalisa1276]

Amazing! Thank you so much I have chronic stress and tension has been so bad I did this just now and I had immediate relief

[@lorie826]

I loved it! Sometimes I found the exercises too long, so instead I‘d include more exercises rather than the double of length. Still very relaxing, thank you! ❤

[@annalise1992]

Tell me why I fell asleep 🫠

[@YogaWithBird]

Mission accomplished

[@rachelespeland1265]

Dude I actually fell asleep during one of the last streches.
