Armpits of power!! The newest yoga cue currently sweeping the land... eventually 😍 The short story of AofP (armpits of power) is that we kick on all those wonderful muscles around the shoulder complex to build a container of support around your shoulder joints. Because armpits are so much more than for sweating and hair 😉This is a really lovely movement in so many ways for your shoulders, and super accessible for anyone who can’t do a lot of stuff on their knees.  I did a similar post awhile back with my elbows on a small table and a book between my hands. This is the same move, but different, but the same... know what I mean?! And a great prep for bigger poses like full wheel if you choose to do that. Remember the boundaries post two posts ago? Here’s another way to invite some boundaries into your movements. HOW TO:Placing a block between your wrists and forearms, gently squeeze into the block. Notice how the squeeze wakes up the musculature around your shoulder joints? Armpits of Power! Keep the AofP with elbows bent and slowly move the block behind you until your chest wants to lift and you can’t reach anymore. That’s the boundary, your active range in this position. Repeat the movements, breathe and have fun with it!
