Mobility: the key to a safe, lifelong asana practice.

Mobility is the body's ability to move freely and easily, it is the body’s ability to engage and control stabilizing muscles to actively move in and out of postures.

Stiffness is often blamed on a lack of flexibility. However, many times stiffness could potentially be caused by underlying weakness in these stabilizing muscles around the joints. The key to a safe and lifelong yoga practice is increasing mobility (moving actively without the help of gravity) instead of only flexibility (moving passively with the help of gravity). 

During this immersion the emphasis will be on shoulders mobility, we will be doing poses to gain a better awareness of the shoulder joints, you will become more aware of how you move your shoulders and upper back and what is involved within that movement.
