The concept of "surrender" holds so much power--both on and off the mat. The softness that we can bring to a pose, or to a conversation, allows us to be more rooted in our own strength.

We work twisting and into the shoulders today--both stability and flexibility, and culminate in some side crows and variations. Suggested props: blocks, plus others as desired
