I’ve done this class every single day for the past month, my scoliosis has decreased and my shoulders have never felt better! THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL 🙏🧘🏻♀️💓
I've been having a pinched shoulder to neck nerve pain for a week, and typed shoulder and neck yoga and came to this video. will keep doing this to heal !
I am a yoga instructor. I have told several of my students about this specific class and your channel. I have great respect for your talents in sequinsing and ability to understand the restrictions another's body may have. With complete sincerity Namaste.
I cannot get over how incredible this stretch has been for my neck & shoulders!! It’s always taken me 45 minute yoga videos to do what she accomplishes in 20!! Thank YOU Erin Sampson for your knowledge in this area & for sharing it with all of us!! The length for this stretch is PERFECT!!!
your videos make me always come back to them! as someone who's suffered from chronic anxiety for most of my life this video gives me more relief than hours of physiotherapy. i've carried stress on my body since childhood and this has helped me with migraines and has also given me peace in my mind. thank you so much for introducing me to yoga and using movement to heal. i owe you alot!
this is by far the best video on youtube for shoulders neck and upper back, and trust me i've done em all!! i do yoga everyday and it's helped a lot with my posture but working at a computer all day gets me super tight/is where i've always carried tension.
Erin, your classes are absolutely amazing. They are always exactly what I need. You have a great intuitive sense and such a no-nonsense approach, you don't overly explain but give just the right instruction. You are the best and I so appreciate your hard work and videos! Thank you.
After years of neck and shoulder pains, taking a lot of medication that almost screwed up my stomach, I discovered Yoga, thank you beautiful soul, greeting from Brazil, namaste 🙏
Up until now I didn’t realize how much pain can negatively shift your mood... I’ve had shoulder and neck pain for months, about the whole year actually. Chiropractor would help for a short while then it would go right back, after doing this video and staying in a few of the stretches a bit longer... my neck pain is gone!!! AND THE HEAVY CLOUD WHICH HAS BEEN HANGING OVER MY HEAD WEIGHING ON MY LIFE HAS ALSO LIFTED! Such a blessing. I can go forth and function normally now. Thank you Erin.
you are an awesome instructor, exactly what I look for, you give detailed instructions and advice, and don't necessarily talk to fill the silence, instead you let us relax into it and meditate. Thank you so much for that balance.
I’ve been doing this short class everyday for probably the past two months and nothing has ever helped my body from the office seating likewise! Thanks beautiful lady
This is exactly what I needed to release all of the tension that has gathered from sitting on the couch and coughing as I get though COVID isolation. Thanks Erin!
After a week of barely being able to move my shoulders, upper back and neck, I'm so pleased to have found this practice today. Thank you, Erin. Once more, just perfect.🙂🙏🏻
Samantha Kendrick I’m in the same boat this video was fantastic. I’m so happy there’s a neck and shoulder release video that allows so much time Afro the stretches. I feel like a who,e new person
I was just diagnosed with TMJ and need to start each day with some stretches to relax all the tension I hold in my neck and shoulders from clenching my jaw. I said out loud several times during this class, "I love you" (and a few swear words). That was incredible, thank you! (and I LOVED the birds in the background how relaxing)
Thank You! I chose my favorite stretch video for my Birthday today. Shoulder stretch; heart melt; clear and gentle voice and instruction; nature sounds in the background; no loud music; and a nice Namaste wish for peace in my heart at the end. Peace! Namaste!
Wow! I just started massage school and UPS truck loading, and my body has been getting tense in my back. I just did your lower back pain, upper back pain, and this video and I've felt a good release from a pain I wasn't sure how to get at. I've done Ana Brett's Kundalini yoga videos for 6 years, and this is one of the first times I've ventured out from her teachings and not been disappointed. Thank you. Seriously- especially for making this freely available. What goes around comes around, and this was a blessing.
Thank you for this routine! This works amazingly to loosen up the upper back and cervical spine within the neck area. By the end of this session, the burning in the upper back and shoulders was gone!
Thank you Erin. I had such terrible shoulder pains but after just ONE class the pains are all gone! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Namaste🧘♂️
Been dealing with shoulder and neck pain for a couple years now and this is the best video out there. Experienced pain relief 5 minutes into the video. Will plan to end my evenings with this session.
I work at a desk and carry my tension in my neck and shoulders. I am also recovering from a bike accident in which my body really clinched these areas. I should do this practice everyday. My headache is gone, I'm not in perma frown from neck pain... So glad you are back and sharing more practices, although I have favorites I go back to all the time (this one being a must). You are by far the best on youtube because you give options and care about the integrity of poses and everybody's individual bodies, strengths and weaknesses. Thank you, Erin!
This really helped my shoulder and neck pain. I can tell I have more mobility again. I look forward to seeing the benefits after incorporating this video more frequently.
I get a lot of tension in my shoulders, so I've tried several yoga "classes" to try and help me out. This is, BY FAR, my favorite! It's one that I can definitely see myself doing every other day before my harder classes. Thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have done this class before, and for some reason today, I really noticed the way you lead and create a safe space to practice. I am very thankful you answered the call. Many blessings!
I've been a dancer my whole life, practised yoga almost half of that time, and probably had neck and shoulder pain most of my adult life! I thought I knew all the neck and shoulder releases under the sun...but no you've shown me some new ones Adriene! Thanks for reminding me there is always a new angle to look at it from, and a new way to release. This has really helped me during my travels. I'm at the airport and just did the video again along with "yoga at the airport" and "yoga at your desk" Love it! Thanks Adriene! Xx
This is such an oldie but a goodie. I do this one often and it's really helped to identify when tension is starting and how to make sure that the tension in my neck/shoulders doesn't run its course, willy nilly!
BEST neck and shoulder release video I’ve had the pleasure of following along with. Stellar job. This video brought me so much release and relaxation. Thank you so so so much.
Thank you for this! I woke up with significant neck/shoulder pain. This helped a lot. I appreciate how you explain the positions, you do a really good job of helping a new person to yoga understand what to do.
just had a baby 3 months ago , great for my tight upper back and shoulders. Namaste Class or Playlist Request for post natal practitioners would be great. I love how you don't do a whole lot of talking you just get right to it which means a lot to me since I don't have a lot of time.
Well, I’m just getting back at incorporating exercise and stretching into my daily routine and haven’t done yoga practice in a long time. I even trained to be a basic instructor at a YMCA. I should have been doing it and then I wouldn’t have all the pains and headaches over the last few years... I realized that even though I have released a lot of tension, there are still some very stiff areas I have to work on when I tried to to some of these poses. I confess I wanted to give up, but I did my best and will continue to work on it. I have to admit that I did feel a little better when she admitted she had a tight, uncomfortable area in her shoulders, like she’s human just like the rest of us. I liked that. I will use this video regularly. Thanks!
Hello from Greece Erin! This is a 20-minute magic! I thought nothing could eliminate that much the pain of my stiff back and upper back knots, but I was wrong! Feels like I got a deep tissue massage! Thank you :)
Always knew I carried tons of tension in shoulders and neck... This is a wonderful practice and I will keep coming back to it. Realize how much flexibility I've lost and too much tension gained.
Good morning Erin! I did this routine 5 months ago and just did it again at 6am after my workout session! Love it so much! Thank you so much again for making amazing yoga routines! Have a wonderful day! :-)
I have a lot of neck and shoulder pain from working at a computer and sleeping on my side. This video is extremely helpful and one of the best for neck & shoulders I've tried. I love the serene outdoor setting too!!
This is the best neck/shoulder opening video! I tend to ave a lot of tension in this area of my body and I am always looking for yoga practices that help to release it. I have done this one several times, it is my favorite!
I've done this video 3 days in a row now because I carry a lot of tension in my upper body. These exercises really help to release a large part of it. You explain things very clearly and that's extremely helpful, thank you!
Love your neck and shoulders videos. This is one of the most effective video I've come across. I was experiencing right shoulder pain that was radiating up my neck today. This practice took it away! Thank you so much! Namaste.
God thank you thank you thank you. This is such a blessing and I already feel so much improvement on a long standing shoulder issue. I really appreciate you sharing this. Thank you
The best soundtrack! The water. The birds. The dogs. 💧🐤🐶 My neck and shoulders feel so much more spacious now. This was just what I needed. Thank you. New Subscriber! 🙋🏼♀️
Oh. And I also LOVE how you instruct/give cues, and then you give us some silence to breathe into the stretch. I find that some UA-cam yogis tend to fill the silence with more instruction. This gave me time to silently breathe, listen to the sounds of nature, and be with myself for a moment. Loved it.

Totally agree, plz make some videos for strengthening pelvis bones and for the people having difficulty in walk.
Yesss agree!
Yes the best!!
This really caught my interest . Can’t wait to try these.
This is my go-to video on weekdays when I have this horrible pain in my upper back, and it never disappoints! Thank you!
By far the best upper body stretch on UA-cam.
I have had a stiff neck for a week and after this class--like magic--it is gone! Thank you, Erin!
Erin, your classes are absolutely amazing. They are always exactly what I need. You have a great intuitive sense and such a no-nonsense approach, you don't overly explain but give just the right instruction. You are the best and I so appreciate your hard work and videos! Thank you.

WOW!!! I cant believe how that released most of my shoulder and neck tension!
Thank you for your wonderful gift of this yoga You Tube!

Thank you, Erin! This is the best neck and shoulder workout I have found on the internet. You’re the best!

Honestly the only video that relieves my neck and upper back tension in such a short amount of time ❤
You're so very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it
ive been trying a few different neck/shoulder yoga videos, and so far this is my favorite!
Thank you for this routine! This works amazingly to loosen up the upper back and cervical spine within the neck area. By the end of this session, the burning in the upper back and shoulders was gone!
I am mom of 11month baby. This video is very helpful to relax my shoulder tension. I cant wait to try other videos.

This is a great stretch because it let my neck, shoulder and upper body become loose a lot. Thanks for your video. Love it.
This was INCREDIBLE!
This was much needed. Thank you for posting this!
This is amazing for shoulder and neck problems caused by sitting at a computer! Thanks!!
