Fixing Arms in Place for Anantasana and Vasisthasana Adaptations
Often, there is more focus on moving the arms, pushing or pulling with the arms. This session explores the hidden power in fixing the arms in place – this stabilises the shoulders and indeed, the entire upper back – in standing asanas, and works up towards bearing weight on the shoulders and arms.
