When I go to a yoga class (which is roughly four times a week), I always show up 10 minutes early so that I can have a quick stretch on my mat. The first stretch I turn to every single time to open my upper body is my take on a restorative pose called supported fish, but I like to add a little extra for my shoulders and lats.
I have very tight chest and shoulder muscles, alongside a past rotator cuff injury and some work-related hunching over the years, which have all played a role in creating lots of upper-body tension.
