Downward Dog is a whole body pose that loads abundant body weight into the shoulder girdle. While some students might be distracted trying to get their heels to the ground, the shoulder range of motion could be the real villain.

The reason I’m pairing these replay classes with the new DOWNWARD DOG Class is that shoulders are often the snag in your body’s plan to find a pleasant Down Dog. Shoulder Shapely gives you encyclopedic embodiment of your shoulders and helps you become a detective to unlock the missing movement pieces that will allow your shoulders to find comfort in Down Dog.
