Bow Pose: Open the Shoulders

Great shoulder & chest opener. Short & easy class, good for grounding and relieving tight upper body after traveling.

This class works wonders for my neck, shoulders, arms and wrists. Thank you, Rachel! I would love to see more classes that allows me to not put weight on my wrists/hands.

What a lovely class so glad I have found this :) thank you

Great class, Rachel! Such clear, concise instruction! Felt great on my upper back and shoulders! Love that you mix things up so it's not just the same poses over and over!

Thanks Rachelle. Great instruction as always.

This class is fantastic. I come back to it every once in a while and remember how much I enjoy it. I feel open and proud and ready for my day. Thank you Rachel for your straight forward, precise and caring teaching style.

I always enjoy Rachel's classes. They are more than a yoga class . . . she interweaves instructions and tips that are clear and helpful to any practitioner. I feel better aligned and stronger because of her teaching style.

You're a beautiful instructor. Thank you for a very opening class.

One of the things I love about your teaching is how you introduce new concepts into routine poses. In this case, I learned how to open my shoulders more during lunging poses and warrior 2. I carry these ideas through to my other classes, enriching my yoga practice. You explain moves in a precise way that make your classes easy to follow. I am continuing with my day feeling more open, strong and stretched. Thank you!

I and my roommate practice this video together and we both love it. Love the feeling of the body being opened. Thank you for. being specific about each movement. Hope to see more of your class

Thank you so much!! This is a great class! I feel amazing afterwards! Exactly what I needed after working a lot on the computer!!! Thank you! You are a great teacher!

This class is a wonderful way to start the week. I'll be facing Monday with my a head tall and a smile on my face.
Thank you

I love Rachel's precise cues - I rarely have to look at the screen during her classes. This was a wonderful opening and release for my chronically tight shoulders, and a nicely grounding practice overall. Just the right length for me today when I didn't feel energized enough for a longer class, yet definitely needed to do some stretching and letting go. Thank you!

I feel taller and lighter after this beautiful practice. Thank you, Rachel! Namaste.

my shoulders thank you so much for a wonderfully sequenced class. i reach forward for hours 5 days a week as an LMT. (also THANK YOU for not talking during savasana, lol!)

This class really opened up my shoulders. Lately I've had hand and elbow pain due to a pinched nerve in my neck. After physical therapy, yoga has sustained my pain-free state. This class feels good. Thank you.

This class was like an elixir of life for my always tight shoulders. Absolutely super.

Really wonderful sequence. I struggle with tight shoulders and just did the class and the release it great. I will be revisiting this class often. Thank you Rachel!

Nice chilled out class that stretches out sore muscles and doesn't tax your joints too much.

Rachel, you are a fantastic yoga instructor. I've been doing yoga for years, but in the past few years I've been dealing with stage 4 cancer. As a result of what's happening to my body, and also because of treatments, I've had to slow things way down. Your yoga classes have helped me recover some of my former strength and flexibility, and has provided me with enough of a challenge to regain health after each treatment. Thank you so much. You don't know how much you've helped me in my journey.

Thank you Rachel, your guidance is great. I especially enjoyed this one. I am working on my laptop most day so in this exercise I really got to know some muscles in my body I wasn't aware of. It's a great feeling, and doing this first thing in the morning have set me right for the day. Namaste

Rachel, you are the best of the best :)

Rachel, a beautiful class. Your instruction is so good. It's amazing how all u guys manage it :) I really found my breath today in class, first time ever. Thank you so much

Yay to drunken Cobra, lol. And to the nice shoulder stretches for us deskies and cyclists.
Thanks Rachel!

Really enjoyed this class, Rachel! I appreciate your precision, clear instruction and sense of fun. Would love to see more shorter classes by you. Many thanks!

Currently one of my fave videos as it has so much in it

This was wonderful. I could really saw today that I could go deeper into the poses. I really like your style.

Who wouldn't love drunken cobra? Thanks for the beautiful class; I truly enjoyed this.

I always carry tension in my shoulders, no more. Excellent class, clear and concise instruction. Thank you Rachel.

how do we access the first three classes in this series? Thank you.

Thanks Rachel as always! I might come back at the end of a long day at desk for these awesome chest openers. Namaste.
