QUICKIE Full Shoulder Flexibility Routine (20-30 Min)
Heads up, this routine is also part of a 2-routine bundle if you’re looking for even more shoulder stretchy fabulousness!
Who this routine is for:
By popular demand - this is a short shoulder training routine great for students who don’t have a whole hour to dedicate to stretching.
Progressions of drills in this routine are offered for all levels, so whether you have tight shoulders that feel like they just won’t budge in different stretches, or you have a happy range of motion but are looking to be able to go even deeper - there are versions of drills that can challenge you at your level (and beyond, as you progress!)
These drills are focused on challenging our shoulders through multiple ranges of motion, including flexion (reaching arms overhead), extension (reaching arms backwards), and internal and external rotation. This is great for folks working on skills like being able to clasp both hands behind the back, funky yogi arm binds, and different shoulder/arm positions in pole and aerials. it’s also a great complimentary routine for folks working on their overhead shoulder flexibility.
What you get:
THIS IS NOT A FOLLOW-ALONG VIDEO like many of my other recordings. Instead, this is a written routine that includes detailed how-to videos for each drill, as well as educational content to help you maximize your progress in your shoulder training journey.
This PDF includes:
Flexibility training best practices
Anatomical considerations for training your shoulder flexibility
How to test to see if you have nerve tension that will impact your training (and how to adjust accordingly)
Suggestions for training frequency
A program of drills with how-to videos explaining proper form (here’s an example of one of the videos), what sensations to look for, what muscles to engage (if needed), and how to modify to adjust the difficulty/intensity for each drill. The “default” routine is meant to fit a 20-minute training session
Additional recommended drills (along with how-to videos) for another 10 minutes of training for students who want to extend their practice to a 30-minute session
A printable all-on-one-page list of drills for quick reference
Heads up: Because each of the how-to videos is filmed as an educational video with comments on form, technique, and modifications - and not as a “follow along with me” style video, the videos will likely take longer to watch than to actually execute the exercise. So plan on your first run-through of this routine to take longer than 20 minutes because you’ll likely be watching the videos in their entirety which will take a bit longer (and then just skimming through them for reminders in the future).
Recommended props:
Yoga mat
Some kind of long strap - can be stretchy or stiff
A low resistance, stretchy resistance band (ex. TheraBand)
2 yoga blocks
A chair or low bench
Some wall space
