This has been very helpful for me after having a baby to relieve to upper back muscles. I also work in a profession that tends to keep me hunched over. I will definitely be coming back to this for relief.

This really opened up my chest and shoulder muscles! I often endure a great deal of physical weight on my shoulders. This helped loosen me up very nicely. Thank you David!

Nice chest and shoulder opening sequence with slow, relaxed, and quiet voice that helps a person to feel open and relaxed.
Body scan at beginning and end also helps bring a calm mindfulness to the practice.
Fantastic!
