Starting a class with a passive pose, a block under the shoulder blade to relieve stress build up in upper back, shoulders, chest and neck. This happen due to bad posture, sitting on chair/couches and rounding forward for work and daily life. Picture from In-person Wednesday class in Brentwood NW 🙏

Foot Arches: you need to develop flexibility, agility, and strength in the hip and leg muscles to maintain foot-arches and to keep them in shape. Arches are made by strong support from the top, not by support from the bottom-up. Think about the suspension bridges!!
