w/ master trainer Keli Fine
Releasing the shoulders affects the neck, jaw and much more. With time, a simple experiential understanding of what release feels like can be a tool you will use for the rest of your life. In this class we will give our shoulders the time needed to drop some of the tension and use gravity to align the arms and shoulders so there is more openness and less tension. Simple and gentle movements, and attentions will be given, appropriate for all levels of sensitivity, also good for alleviating fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression, and stress.
