One of the most common injuries in the yoga world is rotator cuff damage, and the general population suffers from many repetitive stress issues in shoulders, elbows, and wrists. This workshop addresses preventative care and healing these problems. In this clinic style afternoon, we’ll break down anatomy to better familiarize you with your upper body, work with rehab and prehab practices to improve efficiency in both hatha and vinyasa yoga asana, as well as looking at specific poses and everyday movements that can cause injury to do them more safely and without pain and strain. Open to all, yogis and non-yogis alike.
