The Mysterious Shoulder Joint - Anatomy, Asana and Therapeutics

The shoulder is an important joint in the body as well as an important symbol of our strength and ability to succeed in the world. The position of our shoulders instantly telegraphs our mood to the world. Because of the importance of this area in the body, many yoga poses focus either on strengthening or stretching the shoulders.

But students sometimes complain of dysfunction with their “rotator cuff” muscles, and yoga teachers are increasingly called upon to offer yoga therapy. In order to do this well, we must first understand the anatomy and movement principles of the shoulder joint, as well as the surrounding joints that function with it.

The first session of each day will include anatomy review, and then continue with our practice of Active Asana to integrate what we have learned. The second part of the day will incorporate Quiet Practice to allow us to integrate more fully how to integrate some therapeutic techniques into our practice and teaching.
