But I have been using all of your books and listening to some telelclasses. I originally got your books because of my SI joint, which has been truly helpful, but I wanted to let you know about my shoulders. So, I am an extreme whitewater kayaker--it is a sport that is really hard on the shoulders. I am also a yoga teacher. I have had one complete dislocation and 2-3 subluxations. Because of all of that instability, I quit doing anything but strengthening exercises on my shoulders. It helped with the instability, but created chronic tendonitis. I got your The Shoulder Girdle anatomy book, the rotator cuff teleclass, and The Art of Slowing Down and then humbled myself to slow down and do exactly as you said. I have to say, all kayakers have noisy and painful shoulders--we joke about it. I just thought that is how its going to be. So, when you said not to move past clicking and popping, I thought, "yeah right, I will never move my shoulders again!" Well, all it took was like 1-2 weeks of the pullovers moving in the noise and pain free range of motion and the clicking and popping are totally gone! I can raise my arms over my head with no wierdness for the first time in years! Ok, so now after 20 years of yoga practice, I am actually finally ready for Down Dog for real! I am continuing on the journey--I pay so much more attention to everything now. I continue to do the pullovers every morning and before every yoga pracitce and never move past any funkiness--its changed my yoga practice to a much more therapeutic practice and made me a much more informed and effective yoga teacher. Thank you! Can't wait to meet you in person one day!
