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.

What a beautiful release! I am an experienced yogi, but tight shoulders persist. I could easily incorporate this quick routine into my day and would be so much more relaxed. Thank you, Erica!

(Now can you do one for the low back and sacrum, please!)

I found this today and it was really helpful for my super tight shoulders! Note it doesn’t show up when you search by neck/shoulders though - people may miss it!

I was surprised by how intense this felt on my shoulders - definitely tells me that there is a lot of deep tension that needs releasing. Loved that I could do this practice without having to roll out my mat (I just lay down on my floor) or take off my shoes and socks - cold be great for a mid-day office stretch. Thank you!
