Fundamentals of Practice Day 5
Shoulder stability and mobility is essential in preparing you for inversions. In this faster-paced practice, Rachel reinforces the essential actions you need to develop functional strength and stability in preparation for more advanced poses. This class can either be done as a stand-alone or as part of Rachel's 7-Day Fundamentals of Practice Yoga Challenge.

Not sure if my previous comment was posted or not, I don't see it, so here it is (again):
I am not sure if I'm the only one that has a hard time keeping up with Rachel's high speed instructions. Especially when it's so detailed and the moves are so subtle. I sometimes need to stop and rewind to get it all.
Love the 7-day challenge! Am I the only one that has a hard time keeping up with Rachel's instructions? Rachel you speak so fast, I need to rewind some instructions and hear them over. Especially when it's so detailed and involves subtle moves of muscles.
I love your classes Rachel. Pretty fantastic. My question is about shoulder alignment. I seem to hear a lot of conflicting ways of positioning shoulders. I have unstable shoulder or at least have that hunch a little forward. How should my shoulders be when I'm standing for instance and also in chatarunga followed by upward then downward dog. In downward dog I've heard some instructors say have them flat against the back but sliding away from the spine, but I don't think that's right. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
This practice felt really good in my shoulders. I'm chronically tight in my shoulders but yoga helps. It would be helpful for students to prepare their straps with a loop at outer shoulder width to avoid having to fumble with the strap during class.
