In this final episode of the series, I’ll discuss the unique challenges of the shoulders: the balance between mobility and stability, the high volume of weight-bearing in vinyasa flows, and the nervous system’s role in amplifying or quieting pain.I’ll continue to explain how shoulder pain shows up in different yoga class formats, from repetitive transitions in vinyasa, to prop-heavy Iyengar setups, to restorative postures that need careful support. This episode will help you begin to shift your approach from rigid alignment cues to functional, adaptable options that meet your students where they are. By the end, you’ll feel more confident in supporting students without using fear-based language. Your role as a teacher isn’t to fix their shoulders, but instead to guide students toward movement, breath, and nervous system regulation that helps them feel safe and empowered to practice despite their pain & injuries.Click HERE to send me a text & let me know your thoughts on this episode!
