How did I miss this one, Yin is my favorite, it calms, nourishes and resets my mind and body. Backbends are tough on me, so I just LOVE the passive back bend. No pain at all, just a gentle release. The entire session was delightful, I languished in it and feel so open inside and out. Grateful for this practice Kira

Hi kira, I have a question. In the eagle wrap I can not get my opposite arm down to the floor or over my head. Where can I place the arm so I don't compromise the twist? Do you have any shoulder opening practices that could help? Thank you, be well.

Dearest Joan, you are not alone.
One solution is to bolster the arm or the wrapped legs to provide the support needed for the nervous system to feel held.

If you have identified a stickiness in the shoulder as the area that is calling for attention, then you might investigate these practices:

At about 2:15, in this video, you'll find a yin style shoulder opener.

A more dynamic practice is Shiva's Shoulders with Peter Sterios.

Sometimes understanding the anatomy of the shoulder helps create new connections and openings.

Thank you so much Kira, I will go to these and work on opening my shoulders💜

Passive back bends are AMAZING!

This practice felt better than the local classes I take here in Memphis. It is nothing wrong with the classes here.but you are a really great teacher.

One of my very favorites! Thank you Kira!

I love this practice. :) Also waiting for another magical thundery rainy day here in Southern California. See you really soon. Love.
