Upper Body Stretches - Intermediate Flexibility Flow (Back, Chest & Shoulders)

  • Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
  • Hi friends! This class is a compilation of some of my favorite upper body stretches and drills to help increase not only flexibility, but strength and mobility as well. We will be focusing on the upper back, chest and shoulders for this sequence.
    You will need 1 yoga strap (substitute with a shirt, towel, belt or scarf) and 2 yoga blocks. I really like the cork blocks the best as I find they're sturdy and offer the most support.
    I'll be offering modifications throughout this class for you to play around with. Please remember to listen to your body and never force yourself into a stretch or pose that you aren't ready for. This flow is designed for you to come back to and practice on a regular basis.
    If you enjoyed this type of class, be sure to let me know! If there's something specific you'd like to see on the channel, comment below. I love hearing your recommendations!
    See you on the mat,
    Jess ♥️

    Since this quarantine has started, my mum and I have been taking your classes everyday. I've been really loving the way you teach yoga: it's not just about the poses and workout, but also the mental state. I feel your classes have really helped me physically and mentally and I can't thank you enough! I would love if you could do more dynamic vinyasa flows, I've been really into them! Thank you for what you do! Sending love from Portugal.

    After doing this sequence just one time the horrendous pain in my neck subsided tremendously. I had been performing stretches for my neck and back, but not until I incorporated these shoulder stretches did I feel any relief. Thank you, thank you! I have since been doing several of the stretches morning and night and am improving daily. It was a sign when this showed up in my recommended videos list. Love everything you do for us!!

I am going to continue to do this video along with my strengthening exercises and see if I can rehabilitate this left shoulder. Thank you so much Jessica. The class was awesome.

    Great class Jessica! I have been sitting at my desk so much lately and this loosened me up so much so that my evening can be more relaxing. I did have to modify a few back bends and I did stay in pontoon pose for some extra time. That's one one of my favorites to loosen my low back and hip flexors. Thank you for such a focused class! Be well!
