• May 11 • Shoulder Openers •
Forty-four muscles and three main bones (scapula, clavicle, humerus) are involved in your shoulder movement. Situated by your heart (sentiment) and below your brain (intellect), your shoulders sometimes take on a lot of ‘thoughts and feelings’. Practice yogas to loosen them up, release tension, increase qi flow + blood circulation to increase health.
• June 8 • Hip Openers •
Twenty-two muscles and four main bones (ilium, pubis, ischium, femoral head) are involved in your hip movement. Your hips are not only the place where your legs pivot from, they are the base that cradles your upper body. Practice yogas to loosen them up, release tension, increase qi flow + blood circulation to increase health.
• July 13 • Low Back Relief •
Three main muscle groups (extensors, flexors, obliques) and several bones (lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx) are involved in your low back movement. They help stabilize your trunk, and protect your spinal cord and nerves. Practice yogas to strengthen weak areas, loosen tight ones, release tension, increase qi flow + blood circulation and increase health.
