Bind and Balance: A Deep Dive Into Shoulder Mobility and Strength

Your facilitator

In Yogarise Peckham - Yoga & Reformer Pilates classes’s words

This is an all-levels workshop for anyone who wants to build a balance of strength and mobility in the shoulders to support and facilitate their yoga asana practice. We will explore ways to improve mobility in the shoulders and tackle some common challenges that people face when working with binding postures in yoga, such as Bird of Paradise and Bound Side Angle pose. We will also work to strengthen the shoulders to facilitate stability in arm balances, including Crow and Forearm Stand. Open to all, and especially recommended to those of you who spend your lives hunched in front of desks and screens! Becky Farbstein took her first yoga class at a local gym more than seventeen years ago and has been practising ever since. With no background in dance, gymnastics, or martial arts, Becky has always found dynamic yoga to be both challenging and rewarding. In Becky’s classes you can expect a strong and challenging vinyasa flow yoga sequence that fuses precise, anatomically-informed consideration of the physical practice with traditional yoga philosophy. Becky is grateful to all of her teachers and mentors, especially her current teacher, Jason Crandell, with whom she has completed her advanced teacher training certificate. Becky is the lead teacher on the Yogarise 12-month 200hr Yoga Teacher Training (UK, weekends only) - starting in March 2027. If you're interested in finding out more about the 12 month programme Becky will be around for a cuppa and a chat after the workshop.
