Thanks for the yoga video David (and for creating this site). I am away travelling at the moment and was missing my local studio. This video was fantastic for helping to release tension surrounding my thoracic spine. Much appreciated. Have a wonderful day.
This class was wonderful! I found it challenging as my shoulders and upper back are where I carry much of my tension. I will revisit this class regularly. Thank you!
This was an excellent workout! I carry a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck, and it's often painful. This really helped.
The one problem I had was that if I kept my hands as far apart on the strap as he suggested (when the strap was at full extension at about 15:45), when I brought them down behind my back I could bring them all the way around to the ground. I had to shift my hands closer together to get any stretch.
This class has almost completely removed all tension and stiffness from my upper back, neck, and shoulders. I feel lighter and cannot thank David enough for this. Namaste.
