Over the years I've taught students who have a variety of shoulder ailments, including stiffness, impingement, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, and forward-head posture, but in 2020 my own shoulders froze.
I was quite literally locked down, in lock down. My upper body range of motion was that of a penguin. I spent the next 2 years trying every medical intervention and holistic therapy there was, save for surgery (which I'd refused), and I got about 50% of my range of motion back. A big improvement, sure, but yoga teachers need their arms (obvs.)
I started researching trauma recovery internationally and before I knew it, I was retraining as a Yoga Therapist, taught by experts such as the Nike therapeutic team, Harvard professors, and leading surgeons. To date I've sat through over 300 hours of anatomy lectures, surgical dissections, and the practical application of therapeutic yoga techniques. It's been a total game changer for me both professionally, and personally. Enabling me to help clients address specific needs or concerns, as well as it also informing my class teaching. [And in case you're wondering, my shoulder range of motion is back to 100%.]
Here at New Energy we've noticed an increasing number of students are suffering with shoulder mobility issues, be it medical, trauma, or sport related. The repetitive overhead motion of golf, cricket, tennis etc putting our body's most complex joint under strain, whilst creating an imbalance with the less used side.
So, we're offering a shoulder workshop...
Unlock Healthy Shoulder Mobility
Nikki will give practical applications to decrease patterns contributing to tension and pain, whilst increasing freedom of movement. Insights you can immediately use, as well as a subtler understanding of how breath, posture and even emotional state affect this area of the body.
What will be covered?
• How strength and flexibility (or lack of) in these structures affect range of motion.
• Therapeutic movements to remove stiffness and pain, and support freedom and function.
• How to optimise everyday movement to avoid shoulder pain, injuries, and other ailments.
