There is really nobody in our modern culture who doesn’t experience some neck and shoulder tension. When it is not addressed it can turn into a chronic problem that causes headaches, jaw tension and general discomfort.

In each session of this progressive course Athena will offer postures to help release current neck and shoulder tension as well as re-pattern the muscles and alignment of the neck and shoulders to avoid future pain.  Participants will gain more complete understanding of neck and shoulder care to apply to their practice by participating in all three sessions however drop-ins are ok.
