This one hour class focuses on opening the shoulders with specific Yin yoga poses & myofascia techniques to release tightness, tension & reduce pain.
The class will increase mobility & fluidity throughout the shoulder joint. We all hold tension in different areas so our 'specific' spots can always be slightly different for each individual.
We do not want the ball directly on any bones of the body, as it can feel like we are 'digging in' so not placing the ball directly on your spine, humerus, rib cage or shoulder blades. You also want to stay away from nerves or any sensations that feel sharp, or shooting, & avoid any swollen tissue. Less is sometimes more, as the muscles may tense up if the sensation is too strong.
YOU WILL NEED TWO TENNIS OR MASSAGE BALLS & TWO BLOCKS OR CUSHIONS
