Upper Body Tension Relief — Shoulders, Neck & Chest—Iyengar Yoga

In this practice, the shoulders, neck, upper back, and arms are brought into integration. As the shoulder blades descend with steadiness, the chest opens, allowing the neck to lengthen without strain. As the outer shoulders and front body soften, areas of habitual holding begin to release. Gradually, accumulated tension in the upper body dissolves. With this release, the neck gains a greater sense of freedom, no longer bound by habitual tightness. The chest, supported and open, is relieved of chronic tension, allowing both breath and movement to flow more naturally. From this, a quality of lightness and spaciousness emerges, along with a clearer inner direction that becomes steady and self-sustaining.
