Ribs

Session 2: Ribs

Anatomy: Sternum and Rib bones, Sterno-chondral and chondrocostal junctions

Explore the flexibility, movement potential and ‘compliance’ of the rib cage in different movements and in relationship to breathing. Embody the shapes and movements of the ribs to create ease in the shoulders and in the spine. Explore how the rib cage can become more mobile, and the effect this has on health, emotions and overall body tone and wellbeing. This class is particularly helpful for people with scoliosis, or teachers who work with them.

Explore: “What is the rib movement that facilitates breathing?"  

Yoga Poses include Twists, Sidebends, extended side angle poses and variations
