It felt hard to coordinate myself at first, but I did feel something and it felt good :) I look forward to continuing this practice, its effects were especially noticeable at the end doing eagle arms, as normally that feels so tight for me, but this time it felt easier :)
Tightest shoulders on earth 🌍 here. Update I’ve been doing this consistently for the entire week. This is help me beyond so grateful. Anybody reading this just stay on it and keep doing it. It’s changed my life. Thank you Cassandra. Blessings.❤
Really felt the breathing exercise. My physical therapist said that breathing just like that helps to strengthen your core as well. I find that it also helps with my digestion. Thank you, Kassandra! You're my yoga queen!
Wow Wie wow!!! I had been walking around with my right shoulder AND shoulder blade Stiffness and minor pain for about a week! I literally stumbled on this video and decided to go for it... results: WHAT STIFFNESS, WHAT PAIN??! They're both are gone and I'm a very Happy camper... this 62 yr old #queenager thank you 100 times over!!🙏🏾🙏🏾😁
My shoulders, especially the left, are a hot mess. So this was AMAZING. I felt it even before I started the breathwork. It was difficult but felt really, really good. I can't believe how good, my shoulders, neck and upper back feel. Thank you Kassandra 💗
So much loved this one! My neck and shoulders are always a tight and tense place for me as well so for years I'm using your video's to open up! Love your half hour YIN practice for grief and sadness for this as well. Play that one a lot even thought I'm not sad all the time hahaha. Would love more upper back yin or slow flows as well! Thank you for all the amazing yoga work you do for us! Can't imagine my life without you and your yoga in my home.
I had shoulder pains at the front of my arms. I did the yoga exercised 3 days in a row and it relieved the pain completely. My shoulders are light and free now. Highly recommend for desk workers!
I didn’t feel the breathing exercise as much but all the other poses were very effective. I will keep trying it because sometimes I am just so tight it takes a while to get the sensations. Thank you so much!
Yes, Kassandra, the breathing exercise at the beginning is a good stretch through the shoulders and upper back. On some days--depending on what else I've been doing--it can put too much strain on the back of my neck, especially if I have been lifting weights beforehand. The shoulder flossing is great. Thanks for your work.
I’ve been struggling with my shoulders a lot lately, due to my desk job and lack of self-care. I saw this come up on my recommended videos and knew I had to do it. This felt amazing. /if/ I can keep myself accountable and continue moving, I’m sure this will help open up o some of my problem areas. Hard part is continuing to take care of myself. I either struggle to get up in the morning to get self-care items done, or I’m too exhausted after work.
My shoulders are folded forward due to being a chef, my entire life, bending over, hovering over pots pans, etc. this really helps me keep doing it make time for yourself heal your own body❤❤❤
Kassandra I loved this one because I play golf and my shoulders are always tight. I did have to put a block in my hands to help weight my shoulders down on the breathing exercise to feel it. I did feel it opening up after that. Thank you!!!
I felt the breathing exercise in my shoulders! I was pleasantly surprised by that! It's a good reminder that breath is a powerful tool! Wonderful practice! Thank you, Kassandra! 🧘🏻♀️
Every time I look for a specific yoga exercise, I find your offerings. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And yes, I felt the breathing a lot. Wonderful class. ❤
Hi Kassandra. I didn't push too far and the practice worked great. Also found the breathing exercise, exhales were easier to feel than inhales for me. Thank you very much for your classes😊🌻
Omg Kassandra ❤ The deliberate breathing exercise was so spot on for my shoulders. Sitting at my computer for too many hours I sometimes have tightness that I can’t seem to get out. Thank you for taking the time to point out the small cues every step of the way. Namaste 🙏🏻
Was a great flow. I felt the first stretch a lot in my shoulders whenever we were lying on our backs. Definitely put this on repeat whenever my shoulders need a good stretch.
Thank you so much Kassandra. This class was exactly, what I needed for my pain and stiffness, that I hold in my shoulder and neck for many months. I definitely felt a lot while doing breathing exercice. I wish for more videos like this. Thank you again for you wonderful classes🌺💮Namasté,Klára.
I woke up this morning with pain in my shoulder and neck. And there you go - the first thing I see is Kassandra's video for stiff shoulders!! The breathing exercise really helps. Everything happened in my body exactly the way you described. THANK YOU!
J’ai adoré la respiration du début… ça m’a aidé, entre autres, à garder mon bas de dos au sol. Quelle belle session pour l’ouverture des épaules. Très bénéfique! Merci beaucoup.
I did this class with my partner-a wonderful class overall! Specifically for the breathing exercise at the beginning, he didn't feel anything and I felt a little, but not much. I get the sense that it's a more advanced stretch that only "works" if you are able to get the nuances right, which is difficult. Nevertheless, as someone who's used your classes almost daily for several years, I always appreciate you bringing new or creative poses and options to your channel!
Beginner here, my shoulders are extremely tight left side more the right. While doing the breathing exercises, hands overhead the left side not even touching the floor,right size barely touching. I need this and thank you so much. I will continue to improve my health and body through your beautiful videos. Blessings ❤ Felt the breathing exercise immensely beautiful thank you again
Tight here!! Tightest shoulders on earth. Due to my profession as a chef, bending over pots pans so on so forth been doing this for a week change my life never stretched before taking the time now to heal. My body retired now can stretch concentrate on Health. I appreciate you so much Cassandra this is change my life thank you I do you’re a beginner stretcher one. Also thank you thank you thank you thank you.🙏✌️❤️
These are the best shoulder stretches I've ever done. I'm constantly battling with pain in my shoulder and this is helping me manage, strengthen and still be able to do all the activities I love to do like surfing!!
I recently returned from flying and driving and other stressful events, and when I sat down to this exercise I felt immediate relief! Today I did it again, it is hard for me my arms do not even touch the floor when outstretched, but I can feel an opening, thank you this one!!
This is my experience as well - back of palms don't touch the floor! So can really feel how breath work is affecting all around shoulders and chest. Thank you!
Yes, I felt the breathing exercise. In fact, my shoulders are so tight that on that pose the back of my hands don't touch the ground. So this whole yoga practice is really great for me. Namaste.
KASSANDRA!! Been following you for about 3 years now. You didn’t say NAMASTE! I love when you end with namaste 😢 also, did this practice with my gf Kate. She said she felt the intensity in her shoulders during that stretch, but I was having trouble with it. She pointed out I wasn’t doing it quite right so maybe I’ll feel it next time :) she said it was a feeling she hadn’t felt before!! Love you long time 🫶🏼
Definitely felt the breathing! Just back from a long road trip, and going to add this to my “road trip must-do” list. So great for releasing the tension created in my shoulders from driving long distances!
I also have tight shoulders. The breathing exercise was a lovely start to this practice in which my shoulders were gently stretched without too much intensity. The breathing exercise opened my chest and lengthened my muscles to prepare for this practice. I plan to follow this routine regularly to love on my shoulders!
Great breathing exercise as I have bronchitis and cannot take a full breath without coughing. By the end of this 15 minutes, my breathing is much deeper and I am more comfortable. Thank you
I had a mastectomy for breast cancer last year including a resection of the lymph nodes in the armpit. After reconstruction 6 months later my shoulders have had a greatly reduced ROM. Thank you for doing this practice! I need it badly. And I found the breathing exercise in the beginning to be very helpful. I did feel it in my shoulders quite a bit. ❤
Dear Kassandra, I have greatly benefitted from your sessions, largely Yin (to some extent vinayasa too) and deeply indebted to you. I have had shoulder and wrist mobility issues - your shoulder strengthening and yin for extremities sessions (each around 15 minutes) have helped me greatly. I can lift better now and almost pain free. I have been having a lot of pain around my Ankles. Especially in the night, I find it hard to fall asleep due to pain in both my ankles. May I request you to do an ankle mobility and strengthening session, whenever you can? Thank you so much for everything you do! Lots of love ❤
I clicked on this routine on accident today, then realized it was exactly what I needed! I definitely felt the breathing exercise in the beginning in my upper and middle back. Thank you so much for everything you post.
I just did this shoulder yoga stretch and I definitely found the first exercise along with the front shoulder lying on side extremely intense. I am really going to try to do at the very least those two exercises daily for a week or more and see if I see some loosening up happening. Thanks!
My shoulder get tight from heavy weight lifting especially shoulder presses this really loosen me up thanks Kassandra u have taught me a lot of different parts of the body with yoga see you tomorrow morning have a good day thumbs up
My upper body is Super tight, I am realizing as I did this work out. The breathing right away showed me that. I did one of your other shoulder workouts and found it excellent as well and I’m going to rotate these weekly so that I can keep my mobility as I age. I’m 58 and much less flexible than I was years ago. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! I've been doing this every morning for a week. My shoulders have never felt better. I usually suffer from intense pain and tension and thanks to this video, I've been able to study without worry. A miracle cure!
Great mix of poses. All new to me (basically a beginner that’s been at it a while). I felt all the poses through the shoulders. Excellent instructions and descriptions of what we should be feeling. Helps to better understand if I am doing the poses correctly. Thank you!
Yes worked pretty well. Found this practice when I was actually suffering from a heavy stiffness in my shoulders and upper back. Helped pretty much. Thank you!
The breathing exercise in the beginning was super helpful. I was able to breathe clearly and really open up. I tense my shoulders a lot so that exercise was the perfect way to start off the flow!
So I suffer from pain in a shoulder after tearing my rotator cuff, and this practice what exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you for this, I will add it to my list of favourites!
I didn't feel the breathing stretch too much, but I didn't have the technique down till the last breath. I appreciate this class, I am a full time painter working on large canvas. Thank you, I will be practicing this sequence often
Thank you Kassandra. I have always thought my shoulders were tight....after this class, I REALLY noticed how tight they are. I'm going to do this every other day to help me loosen up.
I was working a physically demanding job with repeated movement it has left my shoulders so stiff and in pain my first time doing these stretches thank you soo much they already feel more flexible Helped a lot more then the physio appointments I’ve been getting!
This is fantastic!! Wow, I really needed this. I didn't realize what sitting at a desk was effecting me so much. This will help loosen things up so my neck isn't getting all the tension. I've probably done all of your shoulder and extremities videos and I really like this!!
Awesome routine! Is there also a routine to help strengthen neck muscles/release pain given most of us sit at a desk most of the day at work? It'll be so helpful!
Thank you for the much needed shoulder stretches. I spent the weekend digging in the garden and this brought my attention to how tight my upper back and shoulders are. I didn’t feel the breathing exercise at the start but I will try it again; my shoulders need this attention.
I definitely felt in my shoulders and arms as they are super tight and tensed after two years of nursing my daughter . The breathing was intense for me, but not sure if I did it correctly or no. Because breathing into belly lifts my lower back. Thank you in any case! Your videos are great and I practice with them regularly. And I'll repeat this one for sure! ❤
I felt the breathing exercise mostly in my core, my shoulders as well but not as much. REALLY felt it in dolphin pose, and always struggle with puppy pose. I've been so looking forward to a new practice targeting shoulders! I've been working at a bakery since the start of the year and my shoulders are always so sore and stiff that I'll often do another practice at the end of the day to relieve some of that tension. This video will become one of my regulars to repeat!
I felt every single thing from the breathing at the beginning to the very end of the session. I know I carry my tension in my shoulders, but I never do anything about it. I hope to start with dedicating time to do this every week.
Wow, this is exactly what I needed today. I've been in agonizing pain for the last few days in my shoulders and upper back, and this really helped me. Thank yoy!
The breathing excercise was really good, the whole video was great! I have had frozen shoulder in both shoulders and struggle with stiffness. This was the best excercises ever for flexibility and mobility. I am so grateful for your effort Kassandra. Lots of love ❤❤❤
You are my #1 Yoga teacher! I randomly had a sore shoulder for 3 days and it was getting worse. I did this video and the next morning the pain was gone and has not returned. Thank you! 🙌🏻
This is a great shoulder flexibility routine. I’ve done it a couple of times now, and will continue coming back to it. I’m 50, and played many years of rugby - my shoulders are a mess, but this really helps. Thanks Kassandra!
I liked the breathing exercise. I struggle with inhaling and exhaling at the right time but always find these targeted breathing exercises help me become more aware of newer and deeper places i can take my breath.
Didn’t feel that much with the breathing exercise but not sure I was doing it correctly. I have very inflexible and tight shoulders, loved this class. Please do more on shoulders 🥰
I have frozen shoulders on both shoulders. I have been doing Physio for over a year. So happy to see this and be able to do. Some poses I am way off but will be doing this one often to help with stretches. Thank you.
This was eye opening on how tight my right shoulder and pectoral is compared to my left, which is tight, too! I’ll be adding this to my yoga practice often!
@yogawithkassandra that breathing exercise was intense for me! I practice yoga, cardio, and strength everyday. I also suffer from migraines due to a brain malformation/short protrusion called Chiari so I get medical Botox. Yesterday my doctor made a comment about the area between my neck and shoulder (mainly one side) was harder than usual and showed me a couple of stretches to try and work it out…after he deadened the area with the ‘tox. 🙃 anyway, I make a true effort to gain flexibility and was shocked when i laid down and my arms didn’t even touch the ground!! I think I spent the whole breathing exercise trying to fix my posture but it’s definitely the lack of flexibility there due to the tension I carry. This was a huge eye opener as to my stress level compared to even 6 months ago, I’ll definitely be repeating this one, thank you!
Hi Kassandra! Thanks for this practice, my shoulders feels so much looser now. I did not feel much stretch in my upper body during the breathing exercise but more in my abs. Have a great day.
I definitely felt the breathing exercise. I have extremely tight shoulders due to an autoimmune condition and the breathwork began the opening of the shoulder girdle I needed to be able to continue the practice.
Definitely felt the breathing exercise. It was a bit challenging to consciously keep my lower back on the floor. The part I enjoyed the most was eagle arms. Really felt that opening up and easing the tightness in my shoulders. Thanks as always for your videos.
This was terrific. Best after a day at the screen with hands on keyboard. The first breathing exercise was definitely intense but a great way to start. Thanks!
Loved this for my shoulders! I am always so tight on my right side and this helped tremendously! Totally felt the breathing at the beginning - Thank you!
The breathing exercise really helped. From the very first stretch and breathing position, this video provided the perfect therapy sequence to bring release and relief for my shoulders.
*Did you feel anything from the breathing exercise in the beginning?*
Yep. Sure did!
Definitely!
Yes! That exercise was surprisingly super effective for me. My shoulders started making crackling sounds . Wonderful!
Yes indeed!
It felt hard to coordinate myself at first, but I did feel something and it felt good :) I look forward to continuing this practice, its effects were especially noticeable at the end doing eagle arms, as normally that feels so tight for me, but this time it felt easier :)

This is one of the best shoulder flexibility videos I’ve ever done-would love more like this for shoulders and chest!

My shoulders, especially the left, are a hot mess. So this was AMAZING. I felt it even before I started the breathwork. It was difficult but felt really, really good. I can't believe how good, my shoulders, neck and upper back feel. Thank you Kassandra 💗
This felt amazing. I reduced my yoga practice due to shoulder injury and have not been able to fully practice since.
The breathing exercise was very mild for me, but I felt it. The shoulder flossing was exactly what I needed!
So much loved this one! My neck and shoulders are always a tight and tense place for me as well so for years I'm using your video's to open up! Love your half hour YIN practice for grief and sadness for this as well. Play that one a lot even thought I'm not sad all the time hahaha. Would love more upper back yin or slow flows as well!

same! I've shared that one with all my family and close friends -that is the best practice ! love all these thank you Kassandra
I'll have to try that yin one , sounds yummy
I work a desk job, so my shoulders are always very tight. This was the perfect practice to start my day off with! Thank you, Kassandra
I had shoulder pains at the front of my arms. I did the yoga exercised 3 days in a row and it relieved the pain completely. My shoulders are light and free now. Highly recommend for desk workers!
Loved the video! Thank you darling ❤

Thanks for your work.
That is perfect for practice while traveling! After long flights my shoulders get really stiff! Thank you, Kassandra!
Yes I did, I felt tension in my shoulders but it released as we continued to breathe thru it.
Thank you
Tooo good didi ❤
I’ve been struggling with my shoulders a lot lately, due to my desk job and lack of self-care. I saw this come up on my recommended videos and knew I had to do it.

These are the best shoulder stretches I've ever done. I'm constantly battling with pain in my shoulder and this is helping me manage, strengthen and still be able to do all the activities I love to do like surfing!!
My shoulders and arms feel so refreshed from this practice! I highly recommend this one as monthly or weekly maintenance for those with desk jobs!
I recently returned from flying and driving and other stressful events, and when I sat down to this exercise I felt immediate relief! Today I did it again, it is hard for me my arms do not even touch the floor when outstretched, but I can feel an opening, thank you this one!!

I didn't feel the breathing exercise. No shoulder pain in my life (knock on wood) but love focusing on different body parts. Thanks!
I just did this shoulder yoga stretch and I definitely found the first exercise along with the front shoulder lying on side extremely intense. I am really going to try to do at the very least those two exercises daily for a week or more and see if I see some loosening up happening. Thanks!
Absolutely love the breathing exercise and this entire routine! Shoulders feel amazing!
Loved the breath practice to start the class, really helped open my shoulders and bring breath and awareness to that area
My shoulder get tight from heavy weight lifting especially shoulder presses this really loosen me up thanks Kassandra u have taught me a lot of different parts of the body with yoga see you tomorrow morning have a good day thumbs up

I was working a physically demanding job with repeated movement it has left my shoulders so stiff and in pain my first time doing these stretches thank you soo much they already feel more flexible
Helped a lot more then the physio appointments I’ve been getting!

Tight muscles of mine always thanks you. Love each of you videos. Thank you for your effort.
Thank you for the much needed shoulder stretches. I spent the weekend digging in the garden and this brought my attention to how tight my upper back and shoulders are. I didn’t feel the breathing exercise at the start but I will try it again; my shoulders need this attention.

You are my #1 Yoga teacher! I randomly had a sore shoulder for 3 days and it was getting worse. I did this video and the next morning the pain was gone and has not returned. Thank you! 🙌🏻
This is a great shoulder flexibility routine. I’ve done it a couple of times now, and will continue coming back to it. I’m 50, and played many years of rugby - my shoulders are a mess, but this really helps. Thanks Kassandra!
I liked the breathing exercise. I struggle with inhaling and exhaling at the right time but always find these targeted breathing exercises help me become more aware of newer and deeper places i can take my breath.
Didn’t feel that much with the breathing exercise but not sure I was doing it correctly. I have very inflexible and tight shoulders, loved this class. Please do more on shoulders 🥰
Definitely felt the breathing exercise, upper back on the right. Will keep doing it! Thank you!
I have frozen shoulders on both shoulders. I have been doing Physio for over a year. So happy to see this and be able to do. Some poses I am way off but will be doing this one often to help with stretches. Thank you.
Have a nice day, Kassandra! Thank you again!
This was eye opening on how tight my right shoulder and pectoral is compared to my left, which is tight, too! I’ll be adding this to my yoga practice often!
Thank you for this practice and for all the videos you share with everyone. Thanks for your generosity!❤
@yogawithkassandra that breathing exercise was intense for me! I practice yoga, cardio, and strength everyday. I also suffer from migraines due to a brain malformation/short protrusion called Chiari so I get medical Botox. Yesterday my doctor made a comment about the area between my neck and shoulder (mainly one side) was harder than usual and showed me a couple of stretches to try and work it out…after he deadened the area with the ‘tox. 🙃 anyway, I make a true effort to gain flexibility and was shocked when i laid down and my arms didn’t even touch the ground!! I think I spent the whole breathing exercise trying to fix my posture but it’s definitely the lack of flexibility there due to the tension I carry.
This was a huge eye opener as to my stress level compared to even 6 months ago, I’ll definitely be repeating this one, thank you!
Thank you for this class. The breathing exercise was really effective.I am hoping to do this class regularly🙏🏽
This one is so amazing! I feel so relieved and my shoulders feel wider and lower! Didn't feel the breathing exercises too much.
Hi Kassandra! Thanks for this practice, my shoulders feels so much looser now. I did not feel much stretch in my upper body during the breathing exercise but more in my abs. Have a great day.
I definitely felt the breathing exercise. I have extremely tight shoulders due to an autoimmune condition and the breathwork began the opening of the shoulder girdle I needed to be able to continue the practice.
Yes, I definitely felt the shoulder, breathing excercise in the beginning (once I got the hang of it) thank you 😊🧘♀️
Definitely felt the breathing exercise. It was a bit challenging to consciously keep my lower back on the floor. The part I enjoyed the most was eagle arms. Really felt that opening up and easing the tightness in my shoulders. Thanks as always for your videos.
This was terrific. Best after a day at the screen with hands on keyboard. The first breathing exercise was definitely intense but a great way to start. Thanks!
Loved this for my shoulders! I am always so tight on my right side and this helped tremendously! Totally felt the breathing at the beginning - Thank you!
yes I feel a big strech from the breathing exercice, thank you Kssandra !
Another favorite!! My shoulders feel much better :) Thank you so much!!
The breathing exercise really helped. From the very first stretch and breathing position, this video provided the perfect therapy sequence to bring release and relief for my shoulders.
