Your Body on Yoga

Season 4

Upper Appendage

In Season 4, we dive into the anatomy of the upper appendage—the collarbones, shoulders, arms, and hands. We explore safe and integrated movement, as well as some common problems with postures like Downward Facing Dog and Chaturanga. We finish the season with a sweet practice to hone in on all the lessons this season.
