"Everything's Reachy" (20th October)
Kinstretch On-Demand
•
53m
In this class, we focus on improving our ability to "reach" through breathwork and then shoulder and scapular mechanics. A lot of shoulder and upper body problem stem from an inability for the scapula to glide along the rib cage. We focused on breathwork to improve the shape of the rib cage so that the scapula can move better and then we worked specifically on the shoulder and on getting the scapula moving on the ribcage. We finished with some plank and press up variations to help "download" these actions in complex, real life movements.
Equipment:
An Elevated Surface (chair)
A Wooden Dowel/Broomstick Handle/Teatowel
A Yoga Block
