YOGA Shoulder stretches
The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in our bodies, capable of a huge range of motion.
Even so, tight or overdeveloped muscles may limit that range, causing us to shift stress into more vulnerable areas, setting the stage for potential injury.
Athletes who move their arms in relatively narrow ranges, such as runners, tennis players, or weightlifters, are especially prone to overdeveloping the big muscles that flex or internally rotate the arms (the anterior deltoids, for example). Over time, as the arm tries to move beyond its usual groove, the body must recruit less efficient muscles, which may compress the neck or torque the spine.
Teacher Trainings examine these tendencies up-close, pinpointing the compensation patterns that develop when strength morphs into limitation. We dive into the anatomy of specific joints, develop sequences that explore full range of movement at those joints, and even challenge our trainees to address the non-physical reasons that the body habitually carries tension.
