Do you have a sore upper back and painful muscle knots in between the shoulder blades? Then this short session is for you.
We begin by tuning in and watching the natural breath, noticing what is present in this moment and becoming aware of habits and tendencies. We follow this with movements and Yin poses that specifically target the upper back and shoulders. It can be quite intense and you are welcome to play around with the pose a bit to find your 'juicy' spot. Remember, you can always hold the poses for longer if you feel you can get a deeper release. This is a great session for those who sit behind a computer a lot or have tension in their upper body and want to wind down after a long day. Different options and variations are offered in order for everyone to benefit from practice. You will need a blanket and a pillow.
