While yoga can promote full-body opening and strengthening, one area that tends to get neglected is the side body! In this class, Rachel helps you open and strengthen your lateral body. Opening your side body can promote better rib mobility, increased breath support, and lower back relief.

Thank you! I had lung surgery in January and have been looking for a good stretch/expansion practice for the scar tissue along my rib cage/side body/abs, to address the residual tightness. And obviously for my breath! I think this will help immensely. It also gets at the historical tightness in my left hip. Yow! Good stuff!

Hey Rachel! Thanks for this class! My mode of transportation is biking and it felt so good stretching out my side body, I think I might have grown an inch! :D

Rachel always provides detailed instructions which are so beneficial so I can get the most out of a pose/class.
This class was definitely a "feel good" practice and it is interesting how the various poses provide many ways to get into the side body to stretch and length it. You won't be disappointed.
