- Students will be introduced to functional anatomy of the shoulder girdle and will be able to explain how the movements of the shoulder girdle affect the chest and thoracic spine.
- Students will be able to describe the overall goals of each move, the channel sinews involved, functional movement principles, and the way the movements enhance circulation in the organs.
- Students will be able to take information from this class and teach these exercises to patients to supplement their acupuncture treatments.

This was a very interesting course that has useful information for all of us who move, or even those of us who don't move much. I came away from this class with a collection of movements that are fun and restorative, and will no doubt support me as I approach my 7th decade.
