  1. Hey Rod, wonderful chest releasing class especially the upper back. I noticed it before and now again. When I wrap my arm and press the elbow against the knee it’s so painful in a spot just above the elbow. Have you heard it before? What to do? All the best and 🙏🏻. Kristina

  2. Great to be back! I found some amazing releases in my spine during this practice. Wonderful clear, precise instructions. Thank you Rod…Nameste
