Upper Back Love

Upper Back Love was designed specifically for the upper back using yoga asana to counteract the effects of daily life (like hunching over your computer) that contribute to upper back aches, pain, and tightness. Activate, stretch, and relieve any tension in this 23 minute yoga session. Take time for yourself to breathe deep and bring balance back to your mind and body. Practice this session regularly for the ultimate preventative care in the upper back, welcoming healthy posture and an open heart.

  1. When I returned to Victoria, British Columbia after a blessedly long sojourn by the Sea of Cortes, no mat space was left in my preferred weekly yoga session at the delightful Iyengar Yoga Centre here. Worse, after unpacking the car and my luggage, I spent two days restoring the looks of my garden with more pulling, bending and lifting than I had done for months, so most of my muscles were begging for asanas. Your "lower back body" sequence awaits, but I'm sending heartfelt thanks, Adriene, for demonstrating an upper back body sequence that has put my mind back in gentle communication with my limbs, breath and core. I gratefully credit Susan Campbell in Nopolo, Baja California, for alerting me to your yoga leadership and the well crafted, beautiful looking videos that capture it.

  2. Adriene
    There are simply not enough words to describe the beauty you bring to the universe.
    You are truly a life saver
    May your blessings return to you a thousand fold✨✨

  3. I saw your comment about missing Benji. Please let your audience know what happened. I thought he was only around 5.

    I have found your videos very helpful and have shared with others.

    1. Benji's okay but thank you for your concern, Aleiza. 🙂 Benji is at home while Adriene is away leading the Yoga and Spanish retreat weeks in Mexico.

  8. Hi Benji,
    I followed your instruction through this video and boy do I feel rested!
    In all seriousness, thank you Adriene, this video is truly helping me with my back pain!

  9. Just what I needed for my tight upper back. Thank you for your free videos. I really appreciate them. x

  10. Thank you Adriene! You are such a breath of fresh air. I love how thoughtful you are. You share your insights in a way that keeps the body, mind and spirit light. Seeing your dog makes my heart sing. My dog would too sit faithfully by my side during yoga. I miss him greatly as he passed this year. Thank you for all you bring.

  11. I have been having an unusual pain in my upper back between my shoulders. Finally, I thought maybe Adrienne has something for me. You never let me down!

  12. I often experience upper back pain. This video has given me more relief, more quickly then anything else I’ve ever tried. When I notice back pain beginning I can do throw video and it allows me to tend to my bodies need so that I can quickly get back to be able to tend to my family and do my every day tasks pain free. It has been such a blessing to me and so enjoyable. Thank you so much for your work.

  13. Thanks so much really relay on a lot of your yoga moves ..you are an inspiration & a truly beautiful person so uplifting.& your passion shines through.

  14. Dear Adriene, I had been doing a lot of gardening and had pain in between my shoulder blades. My sister recommended you and Ive just been through this routine and it feels amazing. Thank you so much, will definitely be looking into more of what you do! Namaste.

  15. I've been remiss. Adriene, I don't thank you often enough. What you have done and are doing is SO VERY VALUABLE for so many people. I joined you in 2015 and have sung your praises ever since. I joined FWFG once, but prefer the YouTube videos. My story: I began doing yoga with a book called "Yoga for Women" in 1967. I'll be 70 this year, a retired physician. I've done yoga in many settings since 1967 and promoted it to my patients throughout my practice. I find your sessions "fit" best for me. They have brought me health and relief and "your company" and YOU'RE the BEST! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

  16. Thank you, Adriene. You’ve been a life-saver in three difficult years. Calmness, community, care and compassion.

  17. These stretches worked great to help relieve some of my upper back pain, I will definitely be trying your other practices. Thank you for sharing. Many happy blessings.

  18. Lovely stretch. Great for post covid. Your yoga videos save me during these pandemic times.

  19. Getting back into regular yoga practice during COVID has been such a blessing, and your sessions, Adriene, have really kept me going. Thank-you so much.

  20. Great way to start the day before sitting at my desk. Thanks Adirene! You are a life-saver.

  21. Wonderful yoga today. Thank you, Adriene, for all you do for all of us in this yoga community.
