Below are some of my favorite inversion-based moves

I like starting a lot of people off with a rockback. Great way to passively get posterior tilt of the pelvis, and keep the lower ribs dropped

You can also add more reaching by trying the elevated rockback reach:

From there, I'll progress to a decline quadruped on elbows. This allows for more antero-posterior upper thorax expansion (2 airex pads are a must)

From there, you'll want to kick it up a notch with something such as the downward dog

And if you really want to drive pump handle, and get that last bit of shoulder flexion, the feet elevated downward dog is money.

You'll can also make this more dynamic, with the retro respiratory inchworm

Backward roll variations can also be quite useful in that regard with a similar concept. I like this move for driving lumbar flexion/spinal inhalation:

There's lot's of Seth Oberst around these parts. You can find a review of his course here, or see what he spoke about when we presented together here.
