Yoga For Healthy Neck And Shoulders

Oh man...if I had a penny for every time someone mentioned they wanted to work their neck or shoulders in yoga class, I could feed the world! It's no wonder this request is so popular though, given this recent study from the July/August issue of the Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy stating that up to 75% of adults experience neck pain as a musculoskeletal disorder. Reasons stated range from ergonomics to trauma to insomnia. In addition, shoulder and rotator cuff problems are stated to be in 25% of adults over 50 yrs old and 30% of cadavers have torn rotator cuffs.
