Upper Body Yin Yoga - Yoga Stretches for Back & Shoulders 

I like that this class was relatively silent. So many teachers talk during yin class -- it's hard to relax. This was nice because I could just concentrate on the pose.

This sequence is magical. I often have upper back tension/aches and this is my go to. I've probably done this video 50 times since discovering it a few years ago. It always helps, and I am so grateful!

One of my top ten!

Upper body was tense all day and this made me heal thank you

I've done this pretty consistently once a week since the pandemic. Always does the job!

Just noticed I have already liked this video. Would have given it a like again. This is the second time that I am doing it. My back feels so much better. Only my shoulders still hurt.

I dont comment often but every day I thank God for your amazing classes !!! Thank you Kassandra!

This class hit the spot to soothe my right shoulder after too much time at the keyboard. Thank you!

A fantastic yin yoga sequence. It relieved upper back pain in one session. Thank you 💗🙏

My wife has been try to get me to try yoga for years! Wished I have listened. Loving the Yin Yoga. Thanks for the great classes. Thank to Yin Yoga I can ride my bike again.

I have been coming back daily Kassandra! Thank you so so much!

This upper body yoga really helps relieve the pain and knots in my upper back.

I do challenging vinyasa yoga with you from Monday to Friday. On Saturday I love a calm, relaxing practice. This is perfect. Thank you so much!

I sure needed this for my upper back. My right side is feeling so tight lately. I broke my ankle last November, is probably why. I think I’ll do even more just to keep feeling the effects. Love your videos, Kassandra! Thanks as always ❤

Just what my Sunday needed. Thankyou and Namaste!

Thank you, Kassandra!

So fantastic. I have been so stressed and this worked wonders! Yin Yoga is better than massage!

I love this yin series. It is exactly what I need. Thank you.

My shoulders are loving this juicy stretch! Thank you so much! Namaste

This class was scrumptious. I will be taking it repeatedly! Thank you!!

Just what I needed with teaching from home. Too much time on the computer has been hard on the back. Thank you!

So enjoyed these stretches. I feel amazing after it. Thank you.

Thank you for posting all of these! So helpful!

Thanks Kassandra another awesome stretch for the upper part of the body. Having a bit of a pain on my right shoulder. Feeling much better after the stretch. Much blessings & 💝

feels like a mini-trip to the spa - thanks 🌸🌸🌸

Thank you Kassandra. I am loving your Yin Yoga playlist.🧘‍♀️🥰

Loved it so much , I was finally able to take a deep breath because the tightness in my shoulder blades and chest was gone, thank you so much 😊

My shoulders loved that. Thank you!

Really enjoyed this. I do like the music in the background. Definitely helped my shoulder today !!! Namaste from Canada 🇨🇦

I feel like I have a brand new body! ✨ thank you so much!

She is an amazing teacher.

Hi Kassandra. I just did this sequence for the second time . Struggled with the bow tie but enjoyed the session. Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉

My first Yin sequence! It was tricky during but it felt really good afterwards 😁thanks for sharing!

This practice was a tremendous help for my upper back and shoulders. I spent hours in my car yesterday and this really loosened me up and broke through the stiffness.

Thank you so much for this short but very beautiful shoulder and back yin yoga sequence. I appreciate your big heart. Namaste'

thank you so much!! love yin yoga and especially with you. you don't talk the whole way through the practice, it helps to stop thinking :)

Thank you kassandra for your rich courses

I nearly fell asleep during some of the poses! Thank you Kassandra.

That was fantastic Kassandra. Just what I needed. Thank you so much. Namaste.

Love love love your yin yoga videos. As a beginner of this practice and a rugby athlete that typically lifts weights 5x a week and does a contact sport - I am 4 yin yoga practices in and my body is so happy right now. Thank you thank you.

So grateful for this class! I’ve been trying to unfreeze my shoulder/arm for 4 months. I found this class a few weeks ago, have done the class about 10 times and always experience relief. I’m amazed how much it helps. Thank you ♥️

Not a yin girl but loved this - such release 🙏🙏🙏

This is one of my favourite classes!

My back feels amazing after this flow. Thank you Kassandra!

Thank you Kassandra 🙏

Fantastic! My shoulders feel amazing. Thank you!

Kassandra your yin yoga classes like this one have helped immensely with my cancer pain! Thank you! I

Thank you! this is perfect for my shoulder upper body problem. You're awesome.

This is the perfect shoulder upper back yoga. I love it !!

Thank you so much Kassandra! This practice really loosened my upper back. Namaste

What an incredible practice!!!! I had really tight shoulders and now I feel much much better and relaxed... Thank you so much

wow, I really felt like I was given a new pair of shoulders. Thank you so much for your videos, Kassandra!

Wonderful class - thank you so much!

Thank you so much! This was so helpful for moving and releasing a huge build up of emotional energy in my upper back and shoulders. I cried through the majority of this and it was extremely beneficial. Seriously, THANK YOU.

Thank you so much for this video! I often suffer from neck shoulder upperback (trapezius) pain. The side cactus pose was really intense for me. Right now, I don't feel pain anymore. Thank you so much for this vid!

Thank you so much Kassandra! I really appreciate you and your videos.

This was such a good class for me! I have nerve pinches in my neck and shoulders, this gave me a good pain reliefe. Thanks!

This is one of my favorite practices - I watch it 2-3 times a week!

This class is one of the greatest!

Thank you! My neck feels so much better in just one session. It won't be the last one!

The Supported Fish before Savasana was the absolute best!

Thank you for this video, helped me slow down and feel a lot calmer!

always love your stretches! Thank you!

I love this class so much. I sleep so good after doing this practice. The music is so relaxing too

Bow tie changed my life! I always have tightness and knots between my shoulders and this was amazing to loosen them up. I will continue to do this on a regular basis. I love ALL your videos, Kassandra! Namaste!

HI. I was painting my deck all day yesterday and woke with shoulder pain. Right now after this class I feel amazing. Thank you again and again for all your different classes.

I only recently discovered your channel. After trying other channels I come back to yours because it makes me feel so much better. I just wish I had taken time to practice yoga when I was younger, 58 seems a little late. Thank you so much for the help you give me in pain relief.

This really helped my upper back knots thanks so much !!!

Congratulations on your dedication to teaching and promoting Yin Yoga. I am a beginner and I like many of your videos. Personally fish poses with a block I find not very comfortable and I use a Bolster. The princess fish pose :)

Hi Kassndra I’m from India, your instructors are so clear and gentle, perfect for guiding me through this evening yin yoga practice . Feeling grateful and blessed 🙏 stay safe and stay blessed 🤗

Hi Kassandra, this was wonderful! I was wondering if you could make a special yin practice for upper body and chest openers for people who suffer from neck injury and cant lean on their forehead or chin. Here's a nice challenge for you pro. Love your channel!!!!

Such a beautiful upper body yin practice. Thank you, Kassandra!

I did this before bed and it really made a difference! I will definitely be coming back to this one :)

Thank you for your time. Namaste

dayuuummmmm this opened me wide open

I love this class, its my go to upper body yin class

WOW this definitely helped so will be doing this on a regular basis. Felt a difference afterwards. Thank you 💕

Wonderful session..haven't felt my upper back as souple for months !!

This class is a godsend 💙🙏

Beautiful class Kassandra! So grateful to your classes❤

Thank you Kassandra for all your videos, which help me a lot in attacking my back pain. Which has been really bad for years, but now it has become better!

I am not normally a fan of yin yoga but thought I would give this a go as I am in desperate need of some tension release! I actually really enjoyed it so thank you. I also want to thank you for giving such clear oral instructions, my room isn't very big and so it is difficult to find a spot to put my laptop that I can see you from my mat; but I find that your instruction is so clear and concise that I am able to get into the pose without interrupting my flow to look at my screen so thank you.

I absolutely love your yin yoga practices. This was no exception. Thank you. Namaste xo

Thank you for your practice. Namaste 🙏🏻

Thank you so much, this really helped me. So much tension relieved

Day 46/365 I didn’t I needed this… Kassandra, you’re my best 🌬🤍🦚

I thought my upper back was bad until I did this practice. My back was terrible!! So stiff I couldn’t take full breaths in without pain. Ugh, so much better. Thank you.❤️

38:53 thank you so much for this flow, Kassandra. I’ve recently returned to your videos and yin. This was perfect for what I need today 🙏🏼🥰

Thank you Kassandra! Thank you!

Just what I need(ed)! So many thanks to Kassandra.

Feeling beautiful and relaxed thank you so much , Namaste

Thank you, Kassandra! This class is my go-to for “painter’s neck”. If it’s too much pressure on your knees, add a block under your toes, can’t believe how much deeper I could go into my shoulders taking the pressure off my knees.

instructions are so clear and gentle, i m relaxt and calm to now

I love this class 💗 thank you Kassandra!

Been going a lot to massages to fix back and shoulder pain. Just finished this routine and already felt some relief. Will practice this and another similar one on your channel hopefully every day if I can find the time. Thanks Kassandra. You are the best

Love this session of upper body mindful practice . God bless you dear.

just what I needed today. thanks a lot. would love a longer session for upper back #goodmorning

Thank you Kassandra😘. I woke up this morning with a uncomfortable knot in between my shoulder blades. So awful, as I also have cervical spondylosis.😔 I love the 'bowtie'♥.

Thanks Kassandra! My shoulders feel so much better. I experienced having my left breast removed 23 years ago, and that surgery is just now showing up in my shoulder in an obviously unhappy way. This practice was so beneficial and just the right amount of time. Namaste'

I had no idea I was holding so much tension in my upper back and was spending a lot of time on my lower body. Thanks for this practice. It was quite a revelation.
