If you spend hours at a desk or find your shoulders creeping up toward your ears from stress and tension, this gentle shoulder openers practice is designed specifically for you. Shoulder tightness affects nearly everyone who sits for extended periods, and this practice uses simple movements and a yoga strap to safely increase shoulder mobility through both internal and external rotation. In this practice, you'll explore seated arm circles and Eagle arms (Garudasana arms) with gentle spinal flexion to release tension between the shoulder blades, shoulder stretches using a yoga strap in multiple directions to safely increase range of motion, strap orbits that take the arms overhead and behind the back to open the front of the chest and shoulders, dynamic threading the needle variations from hands and knees that release the upper back and shoulder girdle, and seated side bends combined with gentle rotations that open the side body and pectoral muscles. The practice uses a yoga strap (or belt or towel) throughout to make even the deepest shoulder stretches accessible. Optional modifications include sitting on a blanket or bolster for comfort, or using a chair if sitting on the floor is uncomfortable. This practice is perfect for anyone dealing with tight shoulders from desk work, stress, or repetitive movements. The detailed alignment cues and breath awareness help you work safely at your own edge without forcing. Led by Claudine Beeson, whose clear instruction on shoulder mechanics and breathing techniques ensures you're building lasting shoulder mobility safely and effectively.
