About this video
Are you holding tension in your shoulders and neck from daily stress? This dynamic upper body flow with Taylor Harkness offers an intentional space to build strength while releasing deep-seated physical tightness.
Designed as an accessible vinyasa flow for upper body health, this Level 1-2 practice bridges active muscular engagement with deep, restorative release. Throughout this 45-minute session, you will move mindfully through a series of shoulder openers, lunges, and strong balancing poses.

This Taylor Harkness yoga flow combines steady breathwork with targeted movement to help you find spaciousness in both body and mind, allowing you to carry the benefits of your practice off the mat and into your daily life.
