Strong Practice for Those with Shoulder Injuries

Ashtanga | By Jodi Blumstein on Aug 14 2012
So you have an injury and you miss your strong practice?? This is an ashtanga practice designed specifically to deal with shoulder injuries. We do NO chaturanga and all of the primary series, with some modifications. The vinyasa we do in this class is designed to strengthen and stabilize the shoulder while eliminating any irritation. This is an important class for anyone working with injuries. You need a strap and a block.

    I typically do Vinyasa and have not practiced Ashtanga before, but was drawn to this class due to a chronic shoulder issue. I cannot believe how much this helped! Having taken a week off from practice all together and now doing this practice twice in a row (in particular the seated binds) made my shoulder feel 80% better already! Thank you for your patient description and reminders about "how we do the practice". Much gratitude ~ Namaste.

    Great for strengthening the shoulder area around the injury. There are ways to work around the pain. Loved it.

    this is great. I hate not to do ashtanga with my sore left shoulder and your option made it accessible. I love the super long dolphin at the end, thanks!
