Matsyasana or fish pose is an excellent shoulder and chest opener. It's fantastic if you are experiencing a tight middle back. It also stretches the neck and thyroid and offers a balance of opening without grasping, and relaxing without collapsing.
One of the most important things to remember, in terms of alignment, is not to let the feet flop out or collapse through the shoulders. You can avoid those pitfalls if you keep your legs active, hug muscle to bone, while flexing though the feet. In addition, allow the arms to extend by your sides and keep elbows lifted off the floor by walking your fingers towards your feet until your arms are straight. Place your focus on the sensation of your breath and relax.
