Upper Back & Shoulder Flow

Vinyasa Flow | By Dice Iida-Klein on Jul 25 2012
This flow is all about the upper back and shoulders. Drawing the shoulder blades down the back and pressing the bottom tips of shoulder blades in towards the heart is the general theme of the practice. Using arm variations like garudasana (eagle), gomukhasana (cow face) and hands behind the back, we open the front, side and back of the shoulders. Enjoy yogis!

      Namaste! Glad I could help those computer shoulders :)
  • Nadia Rqm     Dec 5th, 2012
    great class dice! love the less intense options you hand out to us dying yogis. Love the dolphin to chaturanga flow. and all the 'abstract' backbends in the lunges.
  • Claire Litton     Sep 21st, 2012
    really great, exactly what i needed for my computer-hunched shoulders. i feel more unwound and so happy.
  • Bonnie Platt     Aug 29th, 2012

    Hi Dice,
    I love your classes. You've helped me find a challenging and fulfilling practice. Thank you. One important question though: How do I pronounce your name? Is it dice like a casino or dice like in Spanish class?
  • Rachelle Bevilacqua     Aug 7th, 2012
    You ROCK Dice Iida-Klein!! Kicked my ass!! AND...I've been "virtually" practicing with you for some time and I'm getting handstand a few seconds!! whoooo hoooooo!!! LOve you!
  • Sarah Hon     Aug 6th, 2012
    Lots of fun, as always. Thanks Dice!
  • Oven Kiley     Aug 5th, 2012
    This is the 4th time I am taking this class, perfect for anyone that is cross training.

    Request for you Dice; Can you please teach a 'jock" class , for anyone that is lifting weights, run and bike.

    This class is the perfect addition to any one that is doing triathlon. Thanks Dice for all your fantastic classes, they really make a huge difference in my training, physically and mentally.
  • Patti Boug     Aug 2nd, 2012
    I am having trouble with feed. It was playing but now seems stuck!

      Patti - we just emailed you some tips to help with the streaming.
  • Paola Ruocco     Aug 1st, 2012
    This class was great but was interrupted every 20 seconds w/poor feed. Will try again another time.

  • Andressa Nóbrega     Jul 30th, 2012
    Wonderful class. Good for body, mind and heart. I'm a beginner, found it challenging, but it's very worth it! Namaste.
  • Anne Mclaughlin     Jul 26th, 2012
    Love, love, love this class. The instruction and energy was great as usual. I love this class in particulat because it was challenging ,strengthwise, but the poses were not too tricky. Thank you!
  • Mahala Helf     Jul 26th, 2012
    Delightful!

    Big thanks to you for this class, Dice. I always appreciate your creativity, sequencing, cueing, and laid back vibe. You inspire me! Namaste'
  • Autumn Jordan     Jul 26th, 2012
    Amazing practice Dice! Your classes always make me work hard and break a sweat. I was confused though with the dolphin to chudarunga sequence though.... I guess that's the only downside from not actually being in the class. But anyways, thank you so much Dice and I look forward to seeing your other classes! :)
  • Jeanette Darbyshire     Jul 26th, 2012
    Fabulous sequencing! Thanks so much.
  • Chris Wain     Jul 26th, 2012
    Wow Dice! You are the most bad-ass teacher on here. I felt like I was doing cross-training at one point. Feeling the fire! Namaste.
  • Rebeca Hernandez     Jul 26th, 2012
    Thank you Dice!! Just loved the class, excellent teaching!
  • Danijela Schenker     Jul 25th, 2012
    This was again very challenging but great class. Enjoyed it a lot Thank you very much keep going ...
  • Elaine Vazquez     Jul 25th, 2012
    You are such a gifted teacher. I can spend a whole hour barely breaking a sweat with some of the other instructors, but your ability to fully engage every muscle of the body into harmony and completely merge the mind with the body in a way that brings quiet peace to the mind is unparalleled. A delicious and joyful challenge (I cannot help but smile the whole time in joy!) as always. Thank you.
  • Adriana Hoyos     Jul 25th, 2012
    Enjoyed the practice very much. Very good teacher!
  • Huda Mussa     Jul 25th, 2012
