In today's class we are focusing our attention and breath into the upper back and neck. We explore the protraction and retraction of the scapulas in order to mobilize the space between the shoulder blades and ecourage circulation. We spend time opening up the side body and address the front body in a nourishing scap trap at the end of this sequence because we know when there's restriction across the front body it lengthens the musculature of the back body and this creates dysfunction and limits our ability to breathe deeply.
For class you'll need: two blocks and a blanket
