Yamuna 101 Series - The Arms

Saturday 27th March 2021

Live Online via Zoom

10 - 11.30pm £16

In this class we will learn how to release tension in the shoulders, all the way down to the finger tips. If you have ever experienced tension in your neck or shoulders you will know that the discomfort can radiate down the arms to the wrist and fingers. I often share exercises that involve releasing shoulder and neck tension by stretching and opening the palm. With the balls and the systematic approach through the Yamuna method we will start by releasing tension all round the shoulder joint and then move towards the hands piece by piece, feeling along the way the parts most affected by poor postural habits, long periods sat at a computer, heavy lifting, sports or even by the way we sleep. Working in this way can provide immediate relief for the neck, as well as for tendinitis and other inflammatory problems that can occur with overuse of any of the joints. This practice is blissful, you will also notice the lift through the sideline (ribs and hips) and the effect on your feet .

I am making all these sessions as accessible as possible in terms of the balls we will be using. For this workshop a Pearl or Gold ball and the black balls are the balls of choice. If you need to buy a ball please head to the link to the Yamuna Shop. I highly recommend having your own balls and if you don’t yet have a ball and/or a pair of black balls these are especially useful for all the routines. You can purchase them from me or request to loan a pair before the workshop if you are an existing student with me. Balls are available locally to Winchester for collection or delivery.

Your zoom link will be sent after registration and the day before the workshop. A link to the recording will be sent out afterwards too so you can maintain your own self care practice at home.
