A 25-minute yoga practice to counter rounded shoulders and upper body tension with heart-openers and gentle stretches.
This practice is designed to counteract rounded shoulders and upper body tension caused by desk work, phone use or stress. Heart-openers expand the breath, boost energy and help ease stiffness through the chest, shoulders and upper back, leaving you hopefully feeling a little taller. All you need is a mat, and the video runs about 25 minutes.
