I'm a massage therapist and I'm going through yoga teacher training right now and this is literally the most informative shoulder anatomy lesson I've ever seen

So grateful for your free lessons. I'm learning about Spine so much. Thank you dearly 💛 . PS. you are an amazing teacher. If you were my professor in school, i would never miss a single class 😍

I love these classes of yours. Having so much fun, I feel like I am in a classroom and I'm performing everything you are telling your students including the sound effects you make hahahaaha it's cute.

Thank you very much for this lecture ! so glad I found your channel, it's the second video of yours i'm watching, first one was about hip anatomy which also helped me very much (the information about the psoas muscle changed my whole understanding) THANK YOU !

Thank you so much for the informative content, as someone who practiced yoga for 1 year so far I found these anatomy series really help me find the way to fix my asana in the right alignment.

Thank you so much for these classes you have shared online, SO informative and SO helpful, That little chaturanga to cobra or updog discussion has been a bit of a game changer for me! Excellent videos on anatomy, thank you again for sharing this invaluable content!

My anatomy test is next week and I’m soooo thankful for your videos! You are such a great and thorough teacher. You make things make sense. Thank you!!

wow thank you soooooo much

Your videos are very helpful please could upload these kind of videos more.

Thank you for these wonderful series on anatomy! Love them and love your style of teaching. I have a question about a deeper muscle inside the shoulder area. How does the Levator Scapulae play into the shoulder structure when doing toga? Does it play a small insignificant role or does this not matter so much? 🙏❤️

Thank you so much for this fab lesson. I am doing my yoga teacher training and this goes far more into depth (but in a clear and engaging way) than anything else I've watched or read! I also was drawn to watch this one first because for the first time ever in yoga, I am experiencing pain. My left shoulder feels like perhaps I have put too much strain on it from repetitive use, particularly a vinyasa I did that involved lots of chaturangas, fallen triangles, side planks and wild things. I think the rotation may have done it (missed with tiredness/overuse), but I don't know for sure! I've also seen that there's something else called tendonitis. I did some impingement "tests" online, and it seems like it is just minor right now and not full-blown impingement - more like a dull ache/pain particularly when I abduct my arm. There's no pinching sensation. I don't know if I should just rest (although I've already rested it for 5 days), if I should be doing certain types of asana to help it, massage, or something else. In any case, your video helped me understand much more about the shoulder muscles and the shoulder joint and I loved the end where you included advice on form, as that will likely also help!

These are excellent classes, thanks a lot Rachel. I think I'm having that rotator cuff problem when doing chaturange, so the dual actions are shoulder retraction (clavicle widening) and ribs in? with the shoulders never dropping below the elbow? Please clarify on the shoulder retraction piece as that's where I feel I need to improve. Thanks again

Thanks for this. I really don’t like the ‘knees, chest chin’ thing instead of chatarunga. I think the alternative you suggested is better.

oh, i watched a whole video because i have shoulder issue from time to time and it bothers me. Know i think i know that I have a shoulder impingement in clavicle acromiom area. Thank you, Rachel

I'm from India🇮🇳 🤭😄

I’m too fat to be able to know what bones I have😅 dang it
