Training your thorax & shoulder mobility is fundamental to a happy dance or yoga practice.

What is mobility? You can define mobility as ‘usable ranges of motion’. To move freely within our dance or yoga practice, we need to have adequate ranges of motion, strength through our ranges, and a level of control of our individual joints. Only then we can produce smooth coordinated motion and distribute forces evenly throughout the body. Stiffness, restrictions, and in some cases, pain are signs that mobility may be compromised. Stretching the muscle is often not enough, you want the muscles to be able to ‘carry’ the amount of movement. 

In this workshop we are focussing on thorax and shoulder mobility, as this is a part where we are naturally stiff and we make it stiff even more so by our daily movement patterns. We are focussing on: shoulders, chest, upper back and upper side body. 

This workshop will help you gain more insight over creating a bigger range of motion, strength and flexibility for the upper body.
