Thank you Stephanie for such an in depth focus on shoulder opening (my personal brick wall). As a clinical massage therapist, I preach the importance of opening through the chest while finding myself, unavoidably, internally rotated all day. The one or two poses in my usual yoga classes that truly focus on externally rotating the shoulders and lengthening the chest muscles usually can't make up for a day at the office... I am looking forward to integrating this focused routine into my regular self care and yoga practice. Namaste.

Two words...JOO-CEE!!! ;-) Feel so looser in my shoulders than I have in months. Thank You!

Really clear focus on the shoulders. Got the stretch into some places I haven't been in a while! Nice! Thank you!

Terrific class - reached all those shoulder sore points.

Another mummy thanking you for reminding me where my heart is. x

Thank you Stephanie! This practice was sooo good after carrying and holding my baby the whole day. I will definitely do this again.

great for losening shoulders

Thank you for this great class, Stephanie. It really felt therapeutic -- plus warm and challenging too. I'll be back!

Stephanie, Thank YOU SO MUCH for such a super, sublime shoulder opening practice* Loved exploring your creative postures :) WOW! What a beautiful release* And to top it off, I got the added bonus of a wonderfully delicious savasana ;) It's a definite new favorite of mine :) Many blessings to you! Thank YOU! XX

Like many people, I carry my stress in my shoulders. This practice really made a difference. Thank you and Namaste.

Wonderful. I'd been avoiding opening this area of my body for emotional reasons lately, fearing what would come up. I appreciate this opportunity to release my body in order to explore the deeper crap.

Thank you! Feeling much better!

my shoulders and neck feel soooo much better! as a full time teacher, i spend a lot of time hunched over papers and computers. i also really enjoyed your prenatal yoga classes as they gave me useful sequencing for the prenatal classes i teach. thank you!

great class! my shoulders were hurting from weights, and they feel amazing after this practice. thank you!

thank you

oh my! i am in love with this practice! thank you so much stephanie....my extremely tight shoulders (especially in the AM) are super happy right now! now i can go about my day with literally an open heart! :) thanks

amazing practice for the shoulders
thank you!

Ahh so good to wake up to! My shoulders feel so much better!

thank you

Not two, three, four, but five self adjustments! Thanks for the grounds up instructions. They really helped lock in alignment and raise the energy up the spine to open the heart chakra and free the shoulders. Therapeutically this sequence is ideal for people with over curvature, or hyper kyphosis, of the thoracic spine. I guess I need to cancel my chiropractic appointment today! Can't wait to check out other sequences you teach!

wow! what a great class stephanie....it was the perfect combination of poses...the flow was so smooth.....my shoulders feel great.....i am going to add this class to my favorites.....thanks for a lovely class!

This was exactly what my body needed today. Perfect! Thank you.

2 big thumbs up!!

So glad you are back Stephanie. your classes are insightful and well thought out. Thank ou. Judy

Heart wide open now. Lovely class...just my speed these days. Thank you, Steph!

Incredible! My shoulders and chest haven't ever felt this "free". It also helped release some tightness that I have in my neck. I've always had pretty tight shoulders (classic shoulders rolling forward) and have always had trouble opening up my shoulders, chest and upper back. Adding this to my repertoire to help open those areas up! Thank you, Stephanie! Om shanti.

The floor shoulder openers felt amazing. Thank you.

@Helene- Yes great for the gym crowd! Happy teaching...

Hi Mitali- If you practice this 3-4x a week that should be enough for you to feel a difference, And then of course as your shoulders and chest open, you wont need to focus as intensely. Be mindful as you move through this sequence on a regular basis not to push :)

beautiful practice! Thank you! I teach in gyms and EVERYONE has tight shoulders. love these variations.

This was amazing. How often can these sort of intense shoulder openers be done?

Thank you Stephanie- another great practice! I sit at a desk/computer all day, and have an old injury to my right shoulder that restricts me in certain poses, and this practice was really helpful. I now feel space in my shoulders and upper body :) Saving to my favorites....

thank you stephanie. a perfect practice for shoulders and heart.
