Bridge Clinic: Hello Upper Back! Workshop Recording
Couldn’t make it to the Feb 6 Bridge Clinic workshop? Lucky you can still get a copy of the recording!
Who this workshop recording is for:
Yogis, pole artists, aerialists, and general flexibility practitioners who have a comfortable bridge, but are struggling to access their shoulders and thoracic spine to help move the bend to their upper back.
Recommended for students who can comfortably hold a bridge with straight arms (legs can still be bent), but feel like all your bend is still coming from your low back.
What you’ll learn:
Proper shoulder and arm position for maximizing shoulder flexibility
What the heck is “external rotation” and why is it such a big deal for upper back and shoulder flexibility
Active flexibility drills for shoulder and back conditioning to help strengthen and increase your range of motion in your “over reach” and upper back
Bridge variations that encourage more upper back engagement
A full 60-minute stretching routine you can follow-along to keep working on your backbending progress
Recommended props:
2 yoga blocks (or something you can use to place your hands on and space your arms for some of the exercises)
Strap (yoga strap, theraband, scarf, or even a pair of leggings can work as a strap - it doesn’t matter if it’s stretchy or stiff)
Some free space by a wall (some of the exercises we’ll be doing involve leaning against the wall)
Note: Because of Squarespace’s file size limitations (which is what I use for this wonderful website!), upon purchase you will receive a PDF with a link to the recording. You can either stream the recording online, or download to your phone or PC for a higher-quality viewing experience.
