Shoulder injuries are incredibly common among yoga practitioners. Whether a teacher or a yoga practitioner, this workshop is for you.A complex and highly mobile structure, consisting of 3 bones, 4 joints, and stabilizer and mover muscles, the shoulder girdle offers maximum movement of the arms. This large range of motion increases the vulnerability for injury. In this workshop we will learn:

-About the anatomical structures and biomechanics of the shoulder girdle
-Anatomical differences that affect range of motion,
-How to stabilize to prevent injury, stretch and strengthen to release pain
- Practice modifications and poses to incorporate into your teaching and practice.
This workshop will include lecture, discussion, and practice.
**Two CEUs are available to yoga teachers registered with Yoga Alliance.
