Bring an open mind and a determined spirit, and enjoy this unusually satisfying practice that's all about getting to know your shoulders, shoulder blades and shoulder girdle in a whole new way!

Spinal Awakening
By Angela Kukhahn on Oct 3, 2020
A flowing journey to awaken the spine and your energy! Backbends rule the day as we move from cat/cow variations into low lunge variations that target heart-opening. Crescent pose with more upper back, chest and shoulder opening, including fun with eagle pose and humble warrior. Once we're warm, we'll take the shoulder-opening and spinal awakening to the next level with wild thing and table top variations. If you're looking for energizing heart-opening, look no further! Enjoy, yogis!
