Week #7- Steinocleidomastoid +vinyasa

STEINOCLEIDOMASTOID! That word is so fun.  It needed an all caps intro.  The steinocleidomastoid is the muscle on either side of the neck that helps to turn and nod the head.  The presses, headstand push-ups, and other dynamic movements can strain the neck muscles.  There will be an emphasis on working with neck recovery in addition to shoulder opening, wrist and ankle mobility, etc.  Also, the asana of the week is fish and we will practice variations of it.  The steinocleidomastoid work will develop stamina for movements like chin stand.  Good work last week and hope to see you in class!
