Gradual thoracic spine awakening with expansive anahatasana transitions, mobilizing rotator cuffs and elevating circulation for the hours ahead.

Instructor Note from Elena Vance

• Arte Master Guide
“Notice where you hold unconscious guarding across the collarbones and sternum today. As we move through the chest expansions, resist the urge to pinch the shoulder blades together. Instead, lengthen laterally from the solar plexus toward the fingertips, letting your breath create buoyant internal space.”
