"Unlocked a Shoulder after Many Years"

shoulder stretching

"I had accepted shoulder pain as the price of years of skiing and physical activity.  I had a long yoga practice pre-pandemic but it didn't really improve my shoulder.  

A few weeks into using Will's stretching classes online, I totally opened that shoulder and now know how to keep it feeling good👍.

"Two Un-Frozen Shoulders 🙂"

"My job as a flight attendant requires a lot of overhead lifting.  I started hot yoga for my 2 frozen shoulders and both are good now. Will's stretch class really allows my body to open and move to do all the other sports I do. I can never conquer it - is the most challenging for my mind and body - moving my muscles and stretching my body in a beautiful healing way. Thanks so much Will!!! 🙏🏻😀". --Darlene

"I used to go to many doctors and chiropractors and the only thing that really worked was yoga. Since starting, I have been PAIN FREE" - Carlos (shoulder)

Using poses to feel stretches we don't normally feel - the stretches the brain usually avoids without us even realizing it. As soon as you get that feeling, you immediately know it is 1) blood flowing, 2) muscles firing, and 3) the brain connecting to the body in new ways. So the more feelings you collect, the better.That means we're not going to use these poses to burn calories or to "work out" - because as soon as we start straining or fighting gravity too much, those little feelings we are looking for get kind of pushed to the background again. And again, it's those little stretch feelings that we are actually trying to highlight here. --Will
