This yoga class focuses on strengthening and stretching your shoulders and upper back, where we hold a lot of tension. In less than an hour, you will create more space and openness, release tightness, and boost your mood. We use two blocks and a strap, but if you don't have them available at home feel free to do the practice without or use a homemade prop (belts and towels are great as straps, you can use cushions or books as blocks). This class is designed for students with a little yoga experience and is taught by Helen Cloots.

You are my absolute favorite! i have been doing yoga since 2013 (mostly watching yoga videos on youtube) and for whatever reason i have never came across your channel until recently. What i love about your videos is I can follow your voice so easily with my eyes closed and your voice its very relaxing to me. I get a awesome stretch every time. I ONLY watch your stuff now.. no more hunting for good yoga videos anymore... thank you!!!

I have done this video a few times now since I injured my shoulder last October (not sure how, middle age? lol). Anyway, after some massage and chiropractor sessions I finally felt some relief. Now when ever I start to feel everything tighten up again I do this video and it provides immediate relief! Thank you so much for this and your channel, it has been my go to since the COVID pandemic started to reset my mind and body - :)

I'm glad you enjoyed this! Is this common with your neck? If so, I'd recommend seeing a doctor / physical therapist / and or chiropractor to get an evaluation. I don't have any neck-specific stretches, but the shoulder ones should help a bit. Have you done this one? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jb2elMaqx8yzpXU.html

hi Helen! what actually happens when you inhale in your lower back? It's definitely not air that blows your belly up like a balloon, then what happens? :)
@FloatingYogaSchool
@FloatingYogaSchool 4 жыл бұрын
Your lungs don't actually expand into your low back, but the sensation of breathing into your low back will help expand the lowest section of the lungs (around mid back) and may create a nice sense of stretching through your low back.

I felt great at the end of this class but I had to heavily modify the last 2/5s. For the first part of class I was thinking how wonderful it was to have a shoulder/ upper back class without all the poses that seem to make my shoulders rise up too high and my neck torque too much. Then those poses (eagle arms, thread the needle, tricep stretch) all showed up. I modified and still felt good at the end (and really like the fish variation, if that's what it was) but don't understand why there is this panoply of poses that most yogis do to help the shoulders and upper back that I think seem to do the opposite. Any thoughts? Thanks as always.

As always, thank you for the thoughtful comments, Suzanne! I've been thinking a lot about this the past couple of weeks as I have a massage therapist in my current yoga teacher training and we've been discussing the problem of "long lock" in the upper back. "Long lock" shows up a lot for people who drive, type, sit at a desk, or are on their phones (most of us!) and it's where the upper back/shoulder muscles are stretched and "locked" in that stretched position. As a result the chest muscles become shorter and tighter. So common poses for the shoulders and upper back like the ones I incorporated in this flow are designed to stretch the upper back and shoulders, but may not be appropriate for people who experience "long lock" and may be why they're so comfortable for you. I'm working on another series with more chest opening and strengthening of the upper back and romboid muscles to counteract "long lock." Does that make sense or resonate with you at all? Feel free to email me - Helen@FloatingYogaSchool.com - and I can try and explain a little bit more!

Floating Yoga School The reason you are such an incredible teacher is that you think about such things and explore beyond the limits of traditional yoga. I did email you more details a few days ago; I look forward to hearing more about long lock and these poses!
