Shoulder Openers Workshop with Daniel Hickman

Fourty-four muscles are associated with shoulder movement making it the most mobile joint in the human body. Even so this is a also a common place of tension either from a physical response to an emotional concern or vice-versa. Located between the heart and the throat the shoulders are energetically linked to the fourth and fifth chakras.

Annahata chakra (4th) is the energetic point of love and compassion while Visshuda chakra (5th) is the energetic point of communication and creativity. These combining energies are reflected in the physio-emotional expression of the shoulders, so exercising and healing them produces profound effects in the entire organism. These include the cardio-pulmonary system, nervous system, circulatory system, plus the equilibrium and brain wave functioning.

No experience is necessary to attend this potent workshop. You will open your lungs, clear your throat and relieve "weighted shoulders." You will walk away with a greater range of mostion not only in the shoulders, but also the neck, upper back, and upper chest.

Open to all.
