Summary: Episode 32: This is a 90 minute class without any down dog or poses that require weight bearing on the wrists and hands. This class is great for anyone because of its focus on opening up the upper back and keeping an open posture in the chest. This relieves any pinching or stress that occurs in the shoulders, arms, and wrists from poor posture. You will need two blocks, a strap, and a blanket or towel. (also have two ice packs ready for savasana if you have inflammation in your wrists). Some of the poses we will move through include: ardha salamba sirsasana- half headstand/headstand prep, utkatasana- chair pose, virabadrasa III- warrior III, garudasana- eagle pose, malasana- garland pose, ardha matsyendrasana- half lord of the fishes pose, and gomukasana- cow’s face pose.
