Yoga Therapy for the Shoulders and Upper Back
122 Followers
This short shoulder sequence is for everyone - yoga practitioners, office workers, weight lifters, new moms, musicians, and everyone else who uses their hands and arms throughout the day. These therapeutic exercises are not yoga poses, but will help you with your asana practice and will generally give you more space and mobility in your shoulders. Practice regularly to bring ease to your body at work and at home.

I have been suffering from pretty severe upper back and shoulder pain since starting a job recently that requires me to type for pretty much 8 hours straight. This helps SO much!
I love this sequence and have started doing it a few times a week. As a law student, I am often carrying around heavy books and my shoulders and back frequently feel it. I end this sequence feeling like I just got a massage. Thank you!
This was my first video with a teacher other than David, and I have to say, I miss the music. But other than that I'd say it was great! I would recommend it to anyone who is at work and has some free time, but doesn't necessarily have enough room to do full on yoga. You wouldn't be able to do the last couple of stretches, but I wasn't able to either. You should probably use a real yoga block, not any substitutes for this video, because you need to put your back on it. Imagine trying to lay your back on a textbook or something? Ouch!
This was excellent, I been suffering from shoulder and neck pain for 2 years. One of the stretches in here is usually done to me in physical therapy and I never knew how to do it myself -where you have your hands behind your head and stretch it down..except I keep my body straight like they did it in phys therapy. feels sooo good.
please do more of these, you are awesome Erica, thank you
