Yoga Link: Shoulder Shape Up

Yoga Link: Shoulder Shape Up

0 - Default Title
Description
This DVD is part of the Yoga Link series produced by Pranamaya. The instructor for this series is Jill Miller, who had previously created her own self-produced video series called Yoga Tune Up. This new series incorporates many aspects of Miller's prior work but adds excellent production values plus a variety of additional workout and DVD options. For starters, there are two main aspects to this DVD, the Shoulder Workshop, in which Miller uses live instruction to break down the individual moves in great detail, and the Shoulder Practice, which Miller presents the same exercises via voiceover for a more flowing practice experience. Also included is a 16-minute Breath Primer: this same segment appears on all three of the DVDs in the Yoga Link series, and it offers an opportunity to obtain detailed instruction on the types of pranayama, or yogic breathing, which Miller utilizes in these practices. The Shoulder Workshop includes a 38-minute session plus 11 minutes of Shoulder "Extras." The workshop itself focuses on the 12 directions of shoulder movement (a brief primer on this precludes the workshop), with exercises on Flexion/Extension, Elevation/Depression, Internal/External Rotation, Protraction/Retraction, and Detraction. Starting from the warm-ups, Miller introduces exercises that are as unique in their ways of targeting the body as they are in their fanciful names (from "Jane Fonda Light Bulb Exercise" to "Pin the Arms on the Yogi" to "Holy Cow at the Troth"). She concludes the workshop by putting all of the various directions of movement together for a Dolphin/Down Dog sequence. The Shoulder Extras which follow include short (1-3 minutes) stretches for the forearms, wrists, palms, thumbs, and shoulders; these exercises can be performed virtually anywhere. Miller's advanced knowledge of anatomy and human movement shines through her teaching, and her easygoing, down-to-earth style allows her to connect with her students in a straightforward manner.
