Last class, we went through a series of standing and seated forward bends, while focusing on keeping the sternum up and shoulders open. In this class, we’ll continue focusing on the shoulders but will also pay attention to the collarbones. Our main focus will be backbends. We will begin with some standing poses and inversions and gradually build up to the backbends, including such advanced ones as Urdhva Dhanurasana and Ustrasana closer to the end of the session when we’ve had the chance to maximally activate and open our collarbones.
