Replied on Neck and Shoulders | 20 min Yin Yoga Stretch

11 Mar 10:57

I'm so glad the neck and shoulder stretch helped! It's lovely to add this stretch to the end of a full yoga session. I find that when the whole body is stretched, it's easier to get into a detailed stretch for the neck and find some relief.

Beautiful! I love using essential oils while I'm practicing too. Candles add a point of focus, and I often add one to the top of my mat. Thanks for sharing your ritual with us!

Wow! I love that. I typically practice around sunset too, and that was the inspiration for this practice. Yes, the longer classes do have that effect, but over time your muscles stabilize. Sometimes, it's also the movement of prana moving through the muscle that can feel like trembling : ) Namaste, Kristen

Hi Paul! Yes, supported fish pose is a backbend for the thoracic spine (upper back). It's such a great way to open the lungs and release tension from the chest and heart. I'm glad you enjoyed the practice! Namaste, Kristen
