Yoga and the Shoulders

with Herb Mcdonald and Patti Lentz, PT

Saturday May 16, 2009
1:30 to 5:00 pm
cost: $60 ($65 after May 11)

 

The shoulders are the most mobile joints in the entire body. As a result, they allow us to perform an amazing array of movements and tasks but are also vulnerable to injuries. The various movements and positions of hatha yoga can be both challenging but also therapeutic for the shoulder joints. Through understanding the structure of the joints and learning to practice yoga with care and precision, we can create and maintain healthy shoulders.

In this workshop, subjects covered will include:
--Anatomy, proper alignment and movement of the shoulder
--Common shoulder problems
--How the shoulders relate to other parts of the body in the practice of asana
--Practicing yoga to create and/or maintain healthy shoulders
--Modifying yoga poses for problem shoulders

This workshop is appropriate for people who have practiced yoga for 6 months or longer and will be very useful for yoga teachers. Those with limiting injuries should talk to Herb or Patti before registering. Please enroll early, as space is limited!
