Yoga Workshop
Release Tension in your Neck & Shoulders
Do you have tight shoulders or suffer from neck tension?
Stiff upper back?
Tension headaches?
The shoulders and neck are often a source of discomfort, tightness and misunderstanding. Modern office jobs and our addiction to our phones mean we’re sitting, working at keyboards and holding our arms in fixed positions for long periods of the day. All this creates unnecessary tension potentially leading to long term tightness and dysfunctional movement patterns that affect our ability to move easily.
Join Catherine Annis for this practical workshop, to learn more about the anatomy of this area, particularly the complex structure and function of the shoulder joint.
Explore the intimate relationship between the upper spine, shoulders and breath and give your shoulders and upper back a sensory treat. Learn to let go of deep seated tensions and discover some gentle, deliberate and focused techniques to help you change movement habits and release unnecessary tension.
Aims of this Workshop:
• To understand the complex structure and function of the shoulder joint
• To incorporate learning and knowledge into yoga practice, exploring simple and more complex postures
• Discover the intimate relationship between the upper spine, shoulders and the breath
• Learn more about the rotator cuff
• To understand personal habitual movement patterns and consider ways of changing this to bring more ease and simplicity to movement
• Practice some gentle, deliberate and focused techniques to help you change movement habits and release tensions which may restrict you in everyday life
