In this session you’ll learn how to move your arms. It sounds really basic, but the reality is that many of us misuse our upper body in ways that create unnecessary pain and discomfort.

Being able to differentiate the arms from the torso is essential for reducing shoulder and neck tension. You’ll be introduced to principles and practices that help you maintain a neutral spine while lifting and bearing weight, and activate the proper muscles for reaching and gesturing.

You’ll gain familiarity with what habitual movement patterns give you trouble, and how to shift them toward greater ease and functionality. We’ll also spend time working with the muscles of the lower body to properly support the freedom of the arms.
