Waking the joints
Share
Most of us only notice a joint when it starts to complain.
The shoulders, the elbows, the wrists — quiet until they aren't.
In Upa Yoga, a simple set of arm movements in each direction is used to free the joints and bring a little ease through the whole body. Some people find a few minutes leaves them looser and lighter.
Which of yours would feel it first?
What you'll need
- Room to stretch both arms out
- A few unhurried minutes
- The guided video to follow along
Method
Watch the how-to video first, then follow along with the guided one.
Move through the arm directions slowly. Don't force it: let each joint open at its own pace.
Once it feels familiar, give it a few minutes most mornings for a week or two. Notice how your shoulders and arms feel as the days go on, looser, the same, or somewhere in between.
