I like how you emphasized a distant imbalance between the mobilizers (upper traps) and stabilizers (lower traps). I love face pulls! You remind me of one of my good friends who includes that exercises in most of his client's programs who have rounded shoulder syndrome. For the pectoral stretch can I suggest doing a bilateral stretch such as a wall corner stretch. I find this stretch a greater passive stretch versus doing one side at a time (unilateral), and always ensures that the pec is stretched to greater degree of range of motion.

I find that leaving it in an oven with the lightbulb on keeps it just the right temp but ymmv. Remember that middle eastern cultures have been doing this for a long time without thermometers and such, so the "incubating heat" doesn't have to be spot on. I have found that you can also strain with paper towels or coffee filters. To make "fruit on the bottom style" yogurt add some fruit (heavy syrup, yum) to the bottom of a small tupperware container (I like the one cup size) and then spoon your yogurt on top. One gallon of milk plus one can of fruit should give you 8 servings of strained yogurt, making your final cost about 50 cents! Once you get past your first (ruined) batch it’s super easy!
