July 9, 2022 – Awaken Your Upper Core

Join us for this wonderfully uplifting Saturday morning yoga class!

When: July 9, 2022
Day:  Saturday 
Time: 9:00 am -10:30 am (Eastern Time Zone)
Price: $20.00 

Awaken Your Upper Core

The upper core, also called the pectoral girdle, includes the muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments of the torso, rib cage, thoracic spine, shoulder blades, shoulder joint, arms, collarbone, cervical spine, neck, and head. The upper core requires an upward vertical thrust and is both strong and more vulnerable to misalignment (than the pelvic girdle) without firm support. Any habitual, unbalanced movement pattern can change the tone of  the underlying shoulder blade muscles – overworking some muscles causing tightness and neglecting other muscles. 

This class is designed to awaken your upper core, so that you can create shoulder blade alignment, release tight neck and shoulder blade muscles, create flexibility and elasticity in the thoracic spine, align the thoracic and cervical spine, and create upper arm and upper core strength. 

Benefits:

  • Increased upper core strength
  • Increased arm and hand strength
  • Alignment of the shoulder blades
  • Balance of muscle activation on the left and right side 
  • Release of tight muscles in neck and shoulder muscles
  • Increased energy and lightness
  • Upright posture

Pranayama: Alternate nostril breathing

Asanas: Standing postures, Twists,  Supported Inversions, Domes, and Forward Folds

Restoratives: Setu Bandha Sarvangasana and Savasana

Healing Injury? For those who have a history of injury or trauma and notice that the effects of the minor/major injuries are beginning to interfere with your everyday lives, please note that all of the yoga classes are naturally healing.

Each yoga class is designed to help release stored pain, anxiety, stress, or tension you may be experiencing so that vital, healing energy – prana – can move freely through the entire body. When vital energy is flowing freely (not obstructed), you experience positive emotions, revitalized energy, mental clarity, lightness, pain relief, and an overall sense of well-being.
