In this foundation stretch, we’re starting with Upward Salute—a simple-looking but surprisingly powerful pose that helps set the stage for better posture, stronger shoulders, and a more open upper body. You’ll learn how to root down through your feet, lengthen your spine, and reach tall through your arms, creating space across your chest and shoulders. I’ll guide you through different options—standing, seated, and even lying down—so you can find the version that feels best for your body today. As we move and breathe, you'll stretch and strengthen your shoulders, wake up your core, and even give your digestion a little boost. This gentle, intentional start will lay the groundwork for everything we’ll build on in the next classes!
