Easy chest and shoulder opening yoga poses - Iyengar Yoga

Easy chest and shoulder opening yoga poses - Many of our daily activities often cause the chest to narrow and shorten and this effects our heart and lungs. The yoga poses featured in this sequence are designed to stretch and open the front of the shoulders, the armpit chest (sides of the chest) and the upper chest. The muscles we lengthen by doing these poses are: anterior deltoid, biceps and pectorals.
