This class focuses on releasing tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back before introducing gentle stabilization.
Using a wall and a stable surface such as a door frame or kitchen sink, we create a deep stretch through the back of the body. This helps open areas that commonly hold tension from daily posture patterns, stress, and overuse of the neck and upper back muscles.
As these areas begin to soften, we restore mobility through the shoulder joints and shoulder blades. Creating space in the back, neck, and shoulders allows the body to move with less gripping and restriction.
From there, we begin introducing rib cage awareness to better understand how the shoulder blades should move the arms through space. When the rib cage and shoulder blades are organized well, the arms can move more freely and efficiently.
Many people unknowingly move their arms by overworking the neck and upper back muscles. These compensations often lead to tightness, tension, and potential injury over time.
This class helps release those patterns while beginning to activate the stabilizing muscles that support healthy shoulder movement.
