Anatomy in Action: Arms, Shoulders, Neck
Focus on the upper body: starting with the arms, moving through the shoulders and neck, and ending at the head. We'll study the anatomy and learn to recognize important bony landmarks that can help us perceive and refine our postures.
The asana practice focuses on standing poses as preparation for Ustrasana, and on a structured sequence: Sirsasana > Viparita Dandasana > Urdhva Dhanurasana. Why is this sequence important for opening and understanding the arms? We'll also examine the arms in Sarvangasana and reflect on the personal benefits of this pose as a support for body and mind.
