This 30-minute vinyasa class focuses on the upper back and its relationship to the shoulders and neck. It begins with a neutral head position and simple seated neck movements, then carries that awareness through Sun Salutations, Locust variations, lunges, Revolved Triangle, Half Moon and a modified Dancer’s Pose. Many of these postures are practiced with the hands behind the head, so the upper back does the work instead of the neck. The class closes with a supported Savasana, a block under the base of the skull, to release tension in the upper neck. Expect a thoughtful pace that works short of end range, with an emphasis on understanding rather than depth.
