Unveiling the Splendor – Shoulder and Heart Opening Workshop with Sharon Denton

The pressures and demands of daily life all too often creep into our shoulders as chronic muscular tension and cause our hearts to be silenced and closed. This only adds to our stress, limits range of motion, and increases the risk of injury. Unveil the splendor of your heart while creating more space in your neck, shoulders, chest and upper back. In this workshop, we will address these areas using shoulder and heart openers to strengthen, open, and release tension. Learn why and how to apply proper shoulder alignment to alleviate chronic neck and shoulder pain and repetitive stress injuries and see how addressing common misalignments radically increases the power and beauty of your poses. Learn how using your legs more powerfully and awakening the front of your body, you are able to move with more freedom into backbends. Integrating this knowledge will revolutionize your practice and improve your body alignment/posture. When done appropriately, energy levels increase, blood flow increases in the endocrine system, the spinal cord gets a massage, the internal organs stretch allowing for better blood and lymphatic flow when the backbend is released. We will explore various active and passive super shoulder openers and backbends to transform your cobra, up-dog, camel and full wheel and create a glorious open heart!********************Sharon is Accepting Appointments for Private Instruction on Friday & Saturday afternoon, please contact Sharon directly at 312.925.YOGA***********************
