All about Shoulder IR - single joint focused class

No equipment needed: Though you can use a yoga block for your head to rest on during our IR base if you like.

The fundamental motion of our shoulder is rotation. So in order to expand space (“mobility”) within a joint capsule we must first establish rotational capacity. The most important for the shoulder being internal rotation

The better quality rotation you develop, the better movement options you will own, in both rotational AND linear planes of movement. More joint workspace = more freedom. More freedom = more movement variability. Aka more options to create movement, and greater resiliency to variables. Which will greatly mitigate injury, and improve performance & longevity.

We will work 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our IR base, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. If 3 rounds feels like too much, stick to just 2 rounds and slowly build up - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.

If Shoulder IR is a big limitation and priority for you, programming this class 1-2x a week (with 3-4 days rest in-between) would be ideal.

I hope you enjoy the class!
