10 Minute Mobility Yoga for Posture | Unwind Tight Chest & Rounded Shoulders is a deep yoga stretch from Sara Beth that focuses on the chest and shoulders, though your entire upper body will get stretched. I used it this morning after doing a tough upper body strength workout that I really felt in my shoulders. Though this short routine felt good by the end, it was not as “feel good” as I was expecting it to be. Some of the poses were a bit of work! But nothing major or complicated or advanced; just a bit more active than I expected. Overall, it did held give my shoulders some release.
10 Minute Mobility Yoga for Posture | Unwind Tight Chest & Rounded Shoulders is 10:45 minutes; it is actually 9:30 minutes. The last 1:15 minutes is Sara talking about one of her other practices. Equipment: fitness mat.
