1h 0m
In this class, we focus on centering the upper arm bones in the shoulder sockets. We'll do this in a lot of binds where the arms go behind the back. Often, in a traditional yoga bind, the shoulders end up rounded forward and down, then we try to pull the upper arm bones (humeri) back from there, which is not healthy for the shoulders. In this class, we'll think of the shoulders like a dial and dial them back first to get them in healthy alignment, so that binds actually improve our posture and open our chest. Enjoy!

In this class, we'll be creating more space for our lungs to expand. We'll focus on opening up the space around the ribcage through flexion and extension, rotation, and side bending. You'll notice how freeing up this area of the body has an effect on the whole system. Enjoy!

Catch & Release
In this class, we'll be catching different parts of our bodies to release tension in the tissues, often with our hands. So we'll create a drag on the tissue which allows for more space to be created when we release it. You should feel a sense of spaciousness and ease by the end. Enjoy!
