Focus

This class integrates shoulder opening poses with standing poses, forward bends and twists. It gives you the opportunity to focus on improving shoulder mobility without resorting to a purely therapeutic sequence that is removed from your regular practice. If you are working with shoulder difficulties this approach to shoulder work might be more accessible, and less prone to being avoided. Making progress with shoulder mobility can help to improve overall posture, and reduce strain on your neck and upper back.

    1. Hi Fiona, I agree that this class is one to keep in your rotation for those times you need to release tension in your neck and shoulders. It works for me too!
