Last month, we explored the hips with plenty of internal and external rotation within our yoga classes as well as trying to build strength. This month it is all about the shoulders. The shoulders are a complicated joint as they can affect our upper back and chest. So within our live online yoga classes we will be exploring the shoulders, building strength to encourage shoulder stability and generally maintain healthy mobile shoulder joints. The shoulder strength will be invaluable for our yoga arm balances!

So now we are (more than) half way through this month how are your hips fairing? We have been focusing our yoga practice on our hips and pelvis - adding resistance to stretches to help strengthen our muscles, and improve our stability, whilst also releasing some of those tighter muscles.
