The Armpits: Waking up the Dark Corners in Backward Extensions

This session combines supported back arches, with supported forward extensions.  The back arches are used to explore one of the ‘dark zones’ in our body that usually escapes our attention – the armpit area.In this session we practice backbends with awareness to that back end of the armpits. We use the backbends to access that region and also use gained awareness to enhance the backbend practice.
