Uneven shoulders during sun salutations - help a yogi out!

Kia ora, fellow wellness warriors! This Kiwi adventurer needs some yoga advice. During my sunrise practice, I filmed my sun salutations and noticed my shoulders are totally out of whack. One's stable as a mountain, while the other's retracting like it's trying to escape to the bush! I've tried to correct it, but both shoulders feel the same to me - about as balanced as my kombucha to coffee ratio (which is to say, not at all). Any tips on what I should focus on to sort this out? Internal cues? Exercises? I'm open to anything that doesn't involve giving up my crunchy peanut butter. I've attached a cheeky pic in my yoga shorts to show what I mean. Don't worry, it's SFW - no full Kiwi on display! [Image link] Edit: Dr. Google suggests it could be a weak serratus anterior. Anyone know if strengthening this would help get me back to yoga zen? Namaste for any advice!

Stomach went on a solo adventure during meditation!

Kia ora, fellow wellness warriors! This Kiwi yoga enthusiast has stumbled upon quite the zen mystery. Picture this: I'm about 20 minutes into my sunrise meditation, feeling grounded as a cup of kombucha, when suddenly - woosh! My stomach decides to embark on its own breathing exercise, expanding like I've just downed a jar of crunchy peanut butter. The kicker? I wasn't consciously doing a thing! But wait, there's more! In my next session, my eye starts twitching like it's doing the haka, and before I know it, both peepers pop open and I'm jolted out of my meditative state faster than you can say 'namaste'. Now, I'm as new to this meditation malarkey as I am to posting on wellness forums, but I'm dying to know - is this stomach expansion thing a normal pit stop on the path to enlightenment? And is my eye's impromptu dance party some kind of cosmic resistance? I'd love to hear about your experiences, or any cheeky advice you might have. After all, sharing is caring, and we're all on this wild wellness journey together! Catch you on the flip side, or maybe on a sunrise hike!

Best chest exercises for a zenful workout?

Kia ora fellow wellness warriors! 🌿 This Kiwi adventurer has been on a fitness journey for a while now, but I'm feeling the need to shake things up and inject some fresh energy into my chest workouts. While I love staying active and grounded through my routine, sometimes the ol' chest press can feel as stale as day-old kombucha. 😅 I'm keen to hear about your go-to chest exercises that keep you coming back for more! Maybe something that makes you feel as alive as a sunrise hike? Or any other exercises that give you that post-yoga bliss? Currently, I'm working out in my apartment gym (conveniently located next to my stash of crunchy peanut butter), but I'll be joining a new gym soon to expand my horizons. Chur for your help, legends! Let's keep chasing that wellness high together. 🧘‍♂️☕️
