Standing Forward Fold Shoulder Stretch | Hatha Yoga with Christina Raskin

Release tight shoulders, open the chest, and improve mobility with this gentle Hatha Yoga poses stretch led by Christina Raskin.

In this short yoga practice, Christina explores a standing forward fold with a yoga strap (or clasped hands variation) to stretch the shoulders, lengthen the spine, and create more openness through the front body.

This practice is especially helpful if you experience tight shoulders, upper body tension, or the effects of long hours sitting and working at a computer.

In this class, you’ll explore:

Standing forward fold
Shoulder opening with a yoga strap
Chest-opening yoga stretch
Spinal extension and posture support
Gentle Hatha Yoga for shoulder mobility

Props suggested:

Yoga strap (or belt/towel)
Optional hands-clasp variation

A simple but effective practice to revisit your shoulders anytime they feel tight, or your posture needs a reset. Great yoga for beginners practice.
