DVD Reviews of Yoga Link: Shoulder Shape-Up with Jill Miller
DVD Review: Very thorough shoulder practice
Summary: 5 Stars
I completed the Workshop in one sitting prior to completing the Practice. Although the DVD doesn't include traditional strength exercises, I did experience some very light muscle soreness after completing the Workshop but for some reason not after completing the Practice. The Workshop is 38 minutes with the following chapters:
Shoulder Warm Ups: (7:54)
* Epaulet Arm Circles - arm circles with arms bent at elbow
* Pranic Bath - difficult to explain but a very nice fluid movement
* Anahata Arm Swings - swinging in front and in back, first touching hands and then clasping
* Pendulum Arm Swings - swinging up and over, each arm going in opposite direction
* Danda Kriya - using a rod for three different stretching/flexibility exercises. I did not have a rod that was long enough so used a strap instead, although a rod would have been nice for the last movement.
Flexion/Extension: (5:46)
* Arms in Flexion - movements with arms raised overhead, including arm circles
* Double Extension - arms clasped in back and raising up as high as you can go
* Yogini Mudflap Girl & Andrey's Rack - two poses sitting on floor with arms extending in back of you
* Shoulder Shrugs
* Lat Lengthener - uses a table or ledge to stretch the lat muscles as you lean over
Internal/External Rotation: (5:06)
* Three uniquely named poses with emphasis on rotation of the shoulder. The last pose (Holy Cow at the Trough), is done leaning forward with your elbows bent and resting on a ledge, pressing a yoga block between your hands, and slowly walking your elbows closer and closer together. A second version of Holy Cow is done pushing back and forth with your hands.
Protraction/Retraction: (8:15)
Protraction is drawing shoulder blades together; retraction is reaching forward for separation of the shoulder blades
* Protraction/Retraction Pushups - The emphasis here is on protraction/retraction of the shoulder, not on pushups
* Prone stretch with arms crossed in front of body
* Body Surfing - prone with arms stretched overhead, pulling yourself forward and then backwards across the floor (you will need a blanket over a smooth floor for this)
* Open Sesame - lying prone, spread arms out, roll over on to one shoulder so arm is stretched in back, adjusting hips to put feet on ground, and reaching the other arm up and over to try meet with the other hand in back
Detraction: (2:56)
* ¼ upward bow at wall - looks like an overhead tricep stretch, pulling your elbow in towards the head with the other hand, except that your upper hand is against a wall
Dolphin/Downward Dog: (4:07)
Putting everything together to show how it is used in these common poses.
* Dolphin with external rotation
* Downward Dog with Bent Elbows - challenges the strength of external rotation as your elbows rotate in
* Dolphin to Dog Pushups - Start in Dolphin with external rotation, and move through bent elbow Dog into straight arms, back into Dolphin
The Practice is 43 minutes, putting each of these moves together and adding a few reps.
Round out the practice using the extras on the DVD to work the forearms and hands:
* Forearm grips (2 min)
* Wrist/Palm/Forearm Stretch (2 min)
* Blackberry stretch for the thumb (1 min)
The final Extra is arm circles on the wall (3 min) to stretch the pectoralis muscles.
There is also a Directions of Movement Primer (2 min) that explains the 12 directions of movement for the shoulder.
All in all, I really enjoyed this DVD. I felt it did a great job of working the shoulders from each possible direction and feel that it may help prevent future issues. I liked the focus on mobility versus strength. I don't really have shoulder problems, so the difficult part will be finding a way to work it into my rotation. But I am glad to have in in my library.
