Shoulder joint, Neck and Upper Back
This workshop is designed to acquaint yoga students, teacher trainees and teachers with anatomical vocabulary, musculoskeletal structures and movement patterns in relation to the yoga asanas. Our particular focus for the workshop will be on the shoulder joint, neck and upper back. Our time together will involve lecture, demonstration and discussion as well as direct work in the asanas. We will
- learn to ‘see’ muscles in action, and correctly describe the movement,
- understand how muscles interact to form movement patterns in yoga poses,
- see demonstrations of both structure and function,
- participate in asana practice sessions that allow you to feel, in your own body, the actions of muscles and the dramatic effects of subtle changes in alignment.

Julie began teaching yoga in 1970 when she was a student at Reed College. Introduced to Iyengar yoga in the late 70’s, Julie became Iyengar certified in 1988. At that time, she opened her own studio and began to train the teachers who currently teach there.
