  • Want to improve your posture in just 10 minutes? These stretches for tight chest muscles will work on your chest and shoulder mobility to leave you feeling taller and looser!
    Perfect as a beginner chest stretch, all you'll need is a yoga strap (for example: amzn.to/2QTUTCd) or a belt to practice with me today and work through some yoga chest opener poses for tight muscles and posture. This short practice also pairs wonderfully with the other 10 min yoga practices linked below. I hope you enjoy it!

    Well done to you for working on your posture with this chest stretch today! How did it feel? This one also pairs nicely with my 10-minute practice for upper back stretch: ua-cam.com/video/GHRTLwFiGVo/v-deo.html 🌞

    A stunningly perfect practice. You made every move count. I can’t believe how much you accomplish in 10 minutes. It’s like I just got a massage, yoga practice, and physical therapy all in one- I feel that much better. I wish for everyone in pain to find you and experience relief. Yes to more posture sequences. You are brilliant. Thank you.

    Thank you for your wonderful videos!
    I have found this routine, in conjunction with your routines for the trapezius muscles, neck and mid back, highly beneficial for my posture.
    What they have highlighted is that I have also have significant tightness in my Rhomboids.
    Unfortunately I have been unable to find anything effective for stretching them.
    I would dearly like it if this could be the subject of a future video.
    Many thanks once again for your videos and all that they have done for me!

      Wonderful job Paul !! Glad you're finding value in the different practices. And thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it some thought! You may also like to review the list of upper body practices on the playlists page on my channel. There's a few other shoulder sessions in there that may be helpful in the meantime.

    I have been searching for something like this for so long!! I have super tight shoulders and chest and while I want to do Uttanasana I am only able to hold my hands behind my back but have never gotten them away from my butt/back. This feels so good and was exactly what I need to slowly get to my goal. Subscribed for the first time ever. Love posture work and feel amazing after this. Thank you!

    You’re awesome. I love this video!!! I deal with a lot of muscle tightness somehow, used to feel great but since an injury it hit me really good, esp with age. But this actually helps. I do other stretches daily but definitely going to incorporate this. I am interested in learning what other stretches you might have

    • @YogawithJoelle
      @YogawithJoelle  Рік тому

      Thank you for joining me Jake! I've got lots of other stretches for just about every part of the body, so let me know if you're looking for anything in particular. Otherwise a great place to start is the free Head to Toe challenge, where we spend 5-10 minutes on each part of the body for 28 days to figure out which areas need stretching the most in our individual bodies :) If that sounds interesting you can find it here: tinyurl.com/2vyubcdu

    Do you have more practices for open chest and posture? I have been doing my postgrad research and I have been spending a lot of time sitting but I always have breaks and do this practice. It helps a lot! Would love other in the same style. Thank you Joelle 🙏

    • @YogawithJoelle
      @YogawithJoelle  2 роки тому +1

      Great question Iris, I think most of us need to work harder to improve our posture with all this hunching forwards we always do. Here's a nice anti-hunchback one to try (ua-cam.com/video/b88wvWVuLo4/v-deo.html), another chest stretch (ua-cam.com/video/JR60VRqOKsM/v-deo.html), and one for the upper back (ua-cam.com/video/qXNuQgXTres/v-deo.html) I hope they help!

      Great idea to come back to the neck and chest practices! I'm not familiar with thoracic outlet syndrome, but you could also have a look at the side body classes to see how those feel for you. Hope that helps!

  • @sunflowergirl5988

    Hi, Joelle! I love your videos. My question is: can you explain any type of modifications for how to do these, when one is unable to sit in a lotus or crossed leg position? I found myself struggling to not fall over when doing these! You mentioned maybe using a chair - is there any other techniques that you would recommend? Thank you!

    • @YogawithJoelle
      @YogawithJoelle  2 роки тому

      Thank you so much for practicing with me! Great question - as you mentioned, sitting in a chair is a wonderful modification for many of these stretches, as is simply sitting on a thick cushion or rolled-up blanket, if that's enough height for you. Bottom line: just find a comfortable seated position that works for you! If you'd like to work on learning to sit crossed legged, I also have a video for that here: ua-cam.com/video/kBppUQIGMw0/v-deo.html
