Fascia Back Arm Lines & Yin Yoga

The Fascia Back Arm Lines within Yin Yoga encompass the Deep Back Arm Line & the Superficial Back Arm Line.

The mobility of our shoulders is crucial for facilitating a wide array of movements to the ribs & neck. Consequently, any tension or tightness within these arm lines can contribute to strain & potential pain patterns that may manifest as wrist discomfort, headaches, or even lower back pain.

The Deep Back Arm Line traverses from the spinous processes, the bony projections on the vertebrae, through the scapula at the shoulder, extending to the back of the arm & the little finger.

In contrast, the Superficial Back Arm Line courses from the spinous processes, traveling over the shoulder & along the outer surface of the arm, ultimately reaching the back of the hand.

From an anatomical standpoint, these arm lines involve the intricate interplay of the neck, arms, shoulders, & spine. Moreover, they intersect with various meridians, including the Urinary Bladder, Triple Burner, Small Intestine, & Large Intestine meridians.

The Large Intestine, Small Intestine, & Triple Burner meridians, also called the Yang Meridians of the back of the arms, form a vital component of these arm lines. Additionally, the Urinary Bladder Yang meridian courses along the entire back body length, parallel to the spine.

By nurturing & engaging with these Fascia Back Arm Lines in our Yin yoga practice, we can promote balance & harmony within the intricate network of muscles, fascia, & meridians, cultivating a sense of integration & well-being throughout the entire body.
