Vinyasa Flow for Shoulders and Chest
21-40 Minutes
•
30m
In this flow class there's a focus on retracting the shoulder blades. This action of pulling them in towards the spine will not only help with shoulder blade mobility but also have the action of stretching the chest area too. Expect poses such as Humble Warrior Pose (Baddha Virabhadrasana), Snake Pose (Sarpasana), Camel Pose (Ustrasana), Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajkapotasana) and Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana).
Props required: A blanket to kneel on if required and a belt if you find the action of interlocking the fingers behind the back and rolling the shoulders back challenging.
Mat direction: Short edge of the mat facing the screen.
