Relaxing and Reinforcing Yoga for Shoulders and Hands [7min video] (Patreon)

Hello Patrons! Here's a tidbit from my winter yoga this week. I'm getting back into full swing of creativity so you'll be seeing more videos pop up from me very soon!!!

So in my last post, do you remember when I said I was working on getting my yoga room lighting "just right." Honestly it's been months of trial and error. But I really like what I've got here! And this is so simple and relaxing. What do you think?

In this video I am developing my backbend practice and my power over fight-or-flight.

For backbends, my focus is on the primary action of the chest while another focus is on the anchor through the hips. This gets into training the scapula for a range of 6 movements (shoulder range of motion).

To gain power over fight-or-flight, I am using pressure applied to joints within distinct actions. I am also making a point to not adjust and readjust my hands and feet.  It feels very natural for me to critique my "form" after my initial hand or foot placement. But the practice of "landing" is really having a strong impact that I like.
