Starting with some simple shoulder drops.
If you carry stress in your shoulders (and who doesn’t?), shoulder drops are a brilliant way to release built-up tension and reconnect with your posture.
Lying on your back, arms reaching to the ceiling, you gently reach one arm upwards, letting the shoulder blade lift, then slowly drop it back down, allowing the shoulder to settle into the mat. Then switch sides. It’s subtle, but so effective.
💡 What it helps with:
✔️ Encourages shoulder blade mobility
✔️ Releases tension in the upper traps and neck
✔️ Improves posture awareness
✔️ Connects movement to breath
✔️ Gently wakes up the upper body before more loaded movement
Many of us hold our shoulders up by our ears without realising, especially if we’re at desks or under stress. This simple move is like a body reset, inviting your shoulders to let go.
Try a few reps each side and see how much freer your upper body feels. Less stiffness, more space 💫
