30 min backbend routine to open your upper back & shoulders

Dive deeper into flexibility training with me here:   / katieflexcoach   Lower back taking over in your backbends? This 30 min mobility flow will help you open up the shoulders, thoracic spine, and upper back so your backbends feel more ✨harmonious✨ and ✨balanced✨ Welcome back to part of the hot girl workout series 💖 When we don’t intentionally work on opening the shoulders and upper back, the lower back likes to be the default and carry all the load (talk about a pick me in the spine!!). So today we’re focusing on activating and releasing through the thoracic spine, shoulders, chest, and upper back to create more harmony through the entire body. After opening everything up, we’ll bring it together with bow pose to experience that beautiful full body expansion, then finish with some light core conditioning to cool down and support the spine. You’ll need light weights, two yoga blocks and a foam roller. Grab your props and let’s get started ✨
