Join NowShoulder External Rotation | Slow & Strengthening
This is a slow, focused yoga practice for the shoulders with a primary emphasis on external rotation of the upper arm. Throughout class, you’ll explore simple but precise actions that help you better understand how the shoulder joint works, especially in weightbearing shapes, standing postures, and overhead positions. This practice is supportive for regular practitioners, teachers, and anyone wanting stronger, more stable shoulders.
You’ll move through gentle shoulder preparation, seated patterning, Down Dog, lunges, Warrior II, side angle, Warrior I, balancing postures, and a few closing stretches and shapes on the floor. The focus is less on intensity and more on awareness, coordination, and learning how to feel the muscles that help externally rotate and support the shoulders. A block is helpful, but not required.
This is a steady, intelligent practice for building shoulder strength, mobility, and better organization from the inside out.
