Palm Directions

The focus of tonight’s class is palm directions. The intent is to work the arms by initiating simple movements with the palms of our hands.

When we rotate the palm in different directions it works the wrist joint, forearm, elbow joint, upper arm bone, shoulder joint and chest. The creative movement possibilities are endless!

The directions of our palms also affects our breath (via the shoulder joints opening or closing). Try this at home:
Take a breath in with your palms up.
Pause.
Then take a breath in with your palms down.
Did you notice a difference?
Was your breathing deeper with palms up or down.

I invite you to join me tonight *high five* in dancing with your palms. Class is from 5:30pm - 6:30pm at Open Flight Studio in the University District.
