I am SO excited to kick off the year with the newest (and nerdiest!) version of my sold-out signature workshop, MOVE IT OR LOSE IT. This time, I’m taking things to the next level!
Every time I delivered this workshop in the past, I kept thinking, “I wish I had more time to explain this!” So now, I’m bringing you a body-part-specific deep dive—starting with the shoulders!
MOVE IT OR LOSE IT: SHOULDERS
Unlock the full potential of one of the most versatile—and often the most neglected—joints in your body: your shoulders!
Our modern lifestyles play a huge role in making our shoulders tight and reducing our capacity to enjoy free, functional movement like hunching over screens, repetitive movements, stress and tension or sedentary habits.
We’ll explore how these impact your yoga practice (and also shoulder health), and work through practical techniques to prevent injuries and keep shoulders mobile, both on and off the mat.
You’ll also learn why certain anatomical shoulder restrictions might make it feel like you’re “hitting a wall” in a pose —and what to do about it!
This workshop is designed to give you the knowledge to help you improve mobility, flexibility, strength, and range of motion.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a better understanding of how to care for your shoulders during your practice, apply specific drills that fit seamlessly into your movement routine or use as a foundation to build your own.
What We’ll Cover:
Understanding the Shoulder Joint – A quick dive into anatomy: how your shoulders move and why mobility matters.
The Role of Shoulders in Yoga Practice – Exploring key poses like Downward Dog, Plank, Wild Thing, Dolphin, and Wheel Pose. Learn how a body-friendly and mobility-focused approach to these poses can prevent injuries and make your practice sustainable.
Mobility Exercises – How targeted drills and Controlled Articular Rotations (CARS) create space and freedom.
Injury Prevention on the Mat – What to avoid that may lead to strain (eg in binds)
Strengthening for Stability – Simple ways to build strength to protect your shoulders long-term.
