Another amazing class in this series! I got both feet off the ground in Crow - momentarily, but still I did it! I have always loved Shoulderstand, back in the ancient days (20 years ago) it seems every class ended with an inversion and counterpose, but that seems to have fallen away - I am very glad to add it back into my practice. Thanks again :)
I struggle with upper back pain (I'm a flutist, so spend a lot of each day in a slightly twisted position), and shoulder strengthening is the best way I've found to treat and prevent it. This was an excellent class for bringing my awareness to the muscles around the shoulder and especially beneath the scapulars, and I can feel the benefit of the strengthening and stretching already. I'm also going through a significant life change just now, and this gave me confidence in my ability to handle things. Thank you!
Another great variation, and again exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for these classes - I am loving making the time to come to the mat each day and finding it so helpful that the class is predetermined - all I have to do is show up! :)
Whew...I feel amazing...this was a really calming class. I LOVED the tucked arm shoulder stretch. I don't think I have ever done one in that exact way before. Have a blessed day. xo, Lolly
