Our nature is change; when we step into our adaptability, we are strong and resilient. This practice applies Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) work for shoulder flexion to support the arms overhead in backbends. This work will help you build both mobility and stability in your shoulders as you move towards the deep backbends of eke pada raja kapotasana II (one leg king pigeon in lunge) and kapinjalasana (partridge pose). Practice includes extensive time for inversions, and a cool down of seated twists and hip openers.
