Chill Out Yoga Stretches for Upper Body Ease

Simple and Straightforward Exercises to Release Tension and Create Comfort - Beginner Level

By: Amanda Latchmore

Do you experience discomfort from over long hours spent working the upper body in the same position - sitting at the computer for example? This 25-minute class, created by yoga expert Amanda Latchmore, will help you stretch out and release muscles in the upper body - shoulders, upper back, arms, and wrists - for the prevention and relief of pain. Practise these exercises regularly to create upper body ease.

Drawing on over 35 years yoga experience, Amanda Latchmore created the Chill Out Yoga series of classes as a safe and practical way to develop an on-going yoga practice. The clearly delivered audio instruction assists focus on the inner experience of practising the poses, rather than the outward focus of looking at a video. By maintaining a regular yoga practice you will create the potential for life-long well-being in mind, body, and soul.

From Customer Reviews: ‘This is an excellent, fairly gentle, workout session when time is short. The focus on stretching out the shoulders and wrists was particularly helpful in easing out my tight shoulders'…. 'Short enough to fit in between work and other things'…. 'The instructions are very concise and not too wordy'.... 'It's flexible and fits my timetable, my mood, my physical and mental ability on any day'.... 'This session has encouraged me to practice outside of my yoga classes'…. 'I love this yoga class. It's just the right length of time and feels safe'.

Straightforward and helpful, not for total novices

This practice was very well-designed and helped a lot with my neck, shoulder, and hand pain from computer use and crafts. To follow the audio-only instruction, some previous familiarity with yoga is helpful. This practice uses a block (or book) and a strap (or tie, belt, whatever) as well as a mat and a wall. Delivery is no-nonsense, there is no background music, and no savasana but you could add it yourself. I can tell I will do this practice repeatedly.
