Any time we can give our bodies a chance to do the opposite of the normal forward bend of daily life, it's treat. Keep doing it! Hi Sharon,

Chest openers are the first thing I turn to when I practice, and my refuge when things get tough. They're a gift, for sure. Ah Nina, you and me both.

At 34, I already was getting hunched over and I was depressed and anxious. Now after 14 years of practice, chest openers are still emotionally and physically challenging for me but are a regular and important part of my practice. My depression and anxiety has all but disappered and I am grateful for discovering the transformational properties of chest openers. Hi Eve,

Thanks for your clear explanation here. I'd been meaning to post about teaching a modified version of this chest opener to my dad, and you spurred me to action: http://yogaspy.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/yoga-rx-for-my-dad/.
