Description

We will explore the relationship between the neck and shoulder structure understanding their fine balance in movement. We will study the evolution of the arm, looking at the role the shoulder blades have in the freedom or restriction of the all-important cranial base and the influence this has on the pelvis and hamstrings 
The shoulder and arm influence respiration, along with creating a clear connection through the abdominal tissues. This totally changes what is considered as the understanding of the "core”. We will explore all of these understandings from the connections via muscle nerve and fascia. This session is created with presentations, props, discussion and practice.

Gary brings his own unique teaching style together with his ‘skeletal’ models to give a great insight into how the body moves in yoga postures and the potential problems if we overlook the anatomical aspect of how we work. These sessions are great for both teachers and students who want more in depth knowledge of how to approach postures. He has over 40 years’ experience in anatomical study and bodywork practices, and his dissection research has made him one of the current leaders in fascial study.
