PPM: Thoracic Spine & Rib Cage

This 2-session professional training will help you uncover the hidden role of the thoracic spine and rib cage, and bring more ease and flow to movement across the whole body.

Session 1: The Thoracic Spine, Rib Cage & Upper Body Connection

πŸ’‘ Why do some students struggle with weight-bearing poses like Down Dog, Plank, and Crowβ€”even when they seem strong enough?
πŸ’‘ How does the thoracic spine influence motor coordination, neuromuscular control, and stability in the shoulders, elbows, and wrists?
πŸ’‘ What subtle movement patterns determine whether a student finds ease or strain in arm balances and upper-body weight-bearing poses?

βœ… Explore how thoracic mobility and rib cage positioning affect weight distribution, muscle activation, and coordination in the upper body.
βœ… Learn how thoracic spine and rib cage limitations contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome, elbow pain, and repetitive strain injuries.
βœ… Identify and refine movement sequencing to improve proprioception, coordination, and strength without compensation.
βœ… Discover how to enhance upper-body function to reduce pain and improve performance in yoga and daily movement.
βœ… Develop targeted cueing strategies to help students build stability, efficiency, and confidence in weight-bearing poses.

Session 2: The Thoracic Spine, Rib Cage & Lower Body Coordination

πŸ’‘ Why do so many students struggle with SI joint and hip stability, even with a strong core?
πŸ’‘ How do thoracic spine and rib cage limitations disrupt motor control in hip flexion, knee tracking, and standing balance?
πŸ’‘ Why do some students still experience instability in standing poses, even after strengthening their legs?
πŸ’‘ How does breath influence neuromuscular coordination, movement efficiency, and injury prevention?

βœ… Learn how thoracic spine and rib cage mechanics influence motor control in the hips, knees, and SI joints.
βœ… Discover how breath, rib cage – pelvis connection enhance proprioception and movement efficiency.
βœ… Explore subtle refinements that build sensory awareness, motor coordination, and whole-body integration.
