Neck, wrist, and elbow issues

Headaches and jaw tension

Rotator cuff irritation

Back strain and hip instability

And yes, even knees that swell and ache
When you hear “armpit,” you probably don’t think power.
Here’s the truth: the muscles and fascia in this area shape strength, stability, and mobility. With a little attention, they unwind fast.
I’ve seen it again and again. Neck, shoulder, and jaw pain ease. So do deeper issues in the psoas, QL, SI joints, piriformis . . . even the feet. And it doesn’t stop there. Freeing the pits can ease carpal tunnel, wrist and elbow strain, and even headaches. The ripple effect is real.
The armpit isn’t just a hollow. It’s a hub of muscle, fascia, nerves, and blood flow. It ties into your shoulder girdle, pelvis, and neck.
When it’s restricted, the whole body pays the price. When it’s free, everything changes.

Less pain in your neck, shoulders, and jaw

Stronger, steadier knees and hips

Fewer headaches and less tension overall

Better posture without forcing it

Freer, more confident movement

A calmer, lighter feeling in your whole body

This is the power of working with your pits. Small release, big results

Meet Your Teacher
I’m Susi Hately, B.Sc. Kinesiology. For 25+ years, I’ve been helping people around the world get out of pain and teaching health professionals how to do the same.
I help people improve the relationship between their body, mind and breath, and have been training yoga teachers and health professionals how to do the same for over 25 years.
With a BSc. Kinesiology, and 30 years of helping people reduce and eliminate pain, I blend science-based biomechanics and anatomy with the ancient wisdom of yoga to help you gain awareness and clarity on what your body is whispering to you. Once you are aware of what happens in your own body, you can translate that to your students and clients to help them move and feel better.
Over 10,000 people globally have discovered the power of the pits — and beyond — changing the way they move, teach, and heal.
It’s difficult to create ease if you’re pushing through tension. Free the armpit-to-pelvis chain, and you’ll free so much more.
