Shoulders: the structure (the roots) that supports your head (tree limbs and leaves) and neck (tree trunk). In our daily lives we rotate our shoulders internally constantly which can lead to shoulder imbalance and pain. It is useful to work on external shoulder rotation in your yoga practice to counterbalance that tendency. The movement of the shoulder needs to be organically linked to the rest of the body, specifically the movement of the spine, so that the complex network of muscles that connects the shoulder girdle to the spine and ribcage gets alternately stretched and strengthened. The shoulder often ends up on the receiving end of what’s happening elsewhere in the body; namely the chest, upper and middle back. That is why we need to restore balance around the shoulder girdle first by strengthening what’s weak and releasing chronic muscular tension. Your shoulder is not a weight-bearing joint. This means that asking your shoulders to bear weight might be useful for the purpose of muscle strengthening or even improving bone density, BUT they are not equipped to handle prolonged or repetitive weight bearing activities.
