Opening and relaxing the chest allows us to breathe fully and soothes the nervous system, releasing unwanted tension. Let’s get started practicing these simple and effective techniques!

Practice Guidelines

Before starting your yoga asana practice, please read the Practice Guidelines for helpful tips.

Start with Abdominal Breathing

When this becomes easy, move on to Ribcage Breathing.

Diffuse lavender oil

Enhance your ability to relax and release tension by adding 5-7 drops of our Lavender Essential Oil to an aromatherapy diffuser while you’re working or practicing the recommended techniques.

One of the goals of this prescription is to reverse the effects of a forward-leaning posture by stretching out tight chest muscles. As your chest muscles loosen, you may notice increased mobility in your upper back as your shoulders naturally move back towards optimal alignment.

At your desk

Try the Chest Openers chair yoga session to alleviate tension on days when it's hard to get away from your desk. You can even split the session into two parts. Remember to take a few standing breaks throughout the day as well!

Lavender oil massage

Gently massage your neck and above and below the right and left clavicle with a few drops of our Lavender + Jojoba Oil Blend and inhale the comforting aroma.

When stress arises

Any time things get stressful, take a few minutes to practice Complete Yoga Breathing.
