Shoulders Feeling Tight? These 15-Minute Stretches Will Fix That.

"The short 15-minute yoga for upper back routine is meant to bring ease of movement back to your spine so you feel free through your shoulders, upper body, as well as your mid and lower back."

"The stretches aren't too strenuous or demanding. They include just enough challenge to target the stabilizing muscles along the spine in poses that aren't traditionally thought of as targeting the upper back."

"This practice is accessible to almost anyone, no matter whether you've tried yoga before or not. Once you experience the relief a simple 15-minute yoga routine can bring, you'll want to practice it on the regular."

"As you inhale, lower your belly, arch your back, and lift your gaze in Cow Pose. As you exhale, round through your spine in Cat Pose and start to press your hips back into Child's Pose."

A 15-minute yoga routine targets upper back tightness and promotes ease of movement in the spine. The practice includes gentle stretches that engage stabilizing muscles without being overly strenuous. Accessible to all levels, it requires only a mat and no props. Key poses include variations of Cat-Cow and Child's Pose, emphasizing breath and motion through the upper, mid, and lower back. Regular practice can lead to significant relief and improved flexibility in the upper body.
