Hi everyone!
On this episode Jason answers three of our listener questions and it just so happens that they all focus on some aspect of shoulder anatomy. We also talk about cats a lot. Here are the questions:
- Why do we flex the ankle in poses like Reclined Pigeon?
- Is “pull the shoulder blades down” a “bad” alignment cue?
- In Plank Pose, do you push strongly through the arms and upper back? Or soften the shoulders?
We recognize that it can be difficult to listen to a conversation about anatomy without visuals. To help you out, I put links to some of the shoulder-oriented posts and sequences we have on the blog.
