Day 2 : Morning Yoga for Upper Back and Shoulder Tension (15 Min)
Course notes
Welcome to Day 2!
Today’s 15-minute flow is all about melting away the tension we carry in our upper back, neck, and shoulders — the places where stress quietly takes up residence. Led by Reagan Sobel (E-RYT500), this breath-led practice moves intentionally through expansive, mobility-focused sequences designed to leave you feeling spacious, supported, and genuinely at ease before your day begins. Modifications are always available, so every body and every level is welcome here.
This practice is part of the 30 Day Morning Yoga Challenge — a series built for real life, not perfection. Each session is short, accessible, and designed to be returned to again and again. Start any day, move at your own pace, or stack multiple sessions together for a longer practice. The only goal is showing up for yourself, one morning at a time.
What this series does for you:
- Builds a consistent morning yoga routine
- Increases mobility and flexibility over time
- Boosts circulation and daily energy levels
- Cultivates mindfulness and breath awareness
- Creates a calm, grounded start to your day
- Deepens the mind-body-breath connection
- Accessible for all levels with easy modifications
- Flexible — start anytime, move at your own pace
