PROPS NEEDED: Pillow (optional)

A slow and educational experience. Learn which joint is moving, how it moves, and why we isolate certain areas -all with crystal clear instructions. Get intimate with every single joint of your upper limbs: fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and shoulder blades. We also use positional isometrics (static holds) to improve range of motion in shoulder flexion (arms overhead) and shoulder extension (arms behind your back). We get into specific alignment principles for safe and effective side planks on the forearm and modified push-ups. Finish with a juicy stretch for your lateral trunk and shoulder tissues, some free-time to flow through some yoga transitions found in traditional sun-salutations, and a movement pattern using garudasana (eagle pose) arms while lying on your back.

CAUTIONS: Knee loading, shoulder, and wrist loading.
