(Like when holding Warrior I or II for a long period)</li> <li>Over <strong>90% of shoulder injuries</strong> are muscle-related.</li> <li>Most shoulder problems occur because of a<strong> lack of warm-up</strong> in preparation for a demanding task (or pose).</li> </ul> <p>More importantly, through this audio-interactive episode, you'll learn: How your shoulder works; and how to effectively cue movements near the shoulder to achieve a safe alignment that will feel good in your body and your student's bodies.<br> <br> - - -</p> <p><strong>In this episode,</strong>&nbsp;Michael breaks down the anatomy of the shoulder in a way that allows you to create a sense of awareness of what's happening when you move.
