Tight shoulders? Stiff upper back?
Try my favorite techniques to regain mobility and melt shoulder tension — using just 2 yoga blocks.
1️⃣ Supported Fish Pose
One block (tallest) under your head, one block (medium) between your shoulder blades.
🫧 Inhale: arms drape toward the floor.
🫧 Exhale: cross hands to opposite shoulders, elbows hug in. (6 rounds)
2️⃣ Puppy Pose with Block Support
From hands and knees, place your forearms on blocks at the front corners of your mat.
Drop your head, stretch your arms long.
🫧 Hold for 6 deep breaths.
3️⃣ Upper Back “Shearing” Myofascial Release
Two blocks (lowest setting), short end to short end. Upper back rests on the blocks, head supported in hands with your elbows wide.
🫧 Inhale: side bend.
🫧 Exhale: center.
(Alternate sides: 10 times.)
