Yoga Teacher Anatomy Tools: Day 4
Shoulder Mobility + Breath Connection
Shoulder Mobility and Breath Connection
When your shoulders and chest have mobility, you breathe better. When you breathe better, your shoulders are more mobile.
In other words, the breath, shoulders and ribs are intricately connected. This lesson utilizes specific breathing techniques to increase the capacity of your lungs while intentionally mobilizing the upper back and shoulder area.
You'll feel like you can breathe more deeply, move your shoulders more freely while feeling relaxed and grounded.
PROPS: Yoga strap, scarf or belt. Blanket
I loved this class! I have been practising yoga for 20 +years, teaching for 4 and I love how your classes especially the subtle ones like this one add so many more dimensions and aha moments to my practice. Thank you.
Homework
