Show Notes
In this last of our "essentials" series, Jason shares 5 essential ideas for finding ease and stability in your shoulders during yoga practice. On this episode, you will learn:
- Why it's particularly crucial to build shoulder stability if you practice vinyasa yoga -- and which joint (of the four) in the shoulder is the most unstable
- A common misconception about what to do with your shoulders when your arms move overhead
- The cue that you can give when arms move overhead that will prevent neck and shoulder tension (without leaving the shoulders vulnerable to injury)
- Why different backbends benefit from different shoulder openers
- How to experiment with different rotations of the shoulders in Downward-Facing Dog
- How a simple change in your hand placement can create more freedom in your shoulders
