Check out our new video that demonstrates this important principal of tensegrity!

Our mothers told us to pull our shoulders back...
Many yoga teachers suggest raising the shoulder up, then back and then down...
This video makes the case for Down First, Then Back:
- When the shoulders go down before they go back, they stop in their sockets and are available to move when you need them to.
- From the down and back position, it is easier to properly find and position your center of gravity
- This proper positioning of the center of gravity sets the stage for the pelvis and legs to support the body...instead of straining the back muscles.
“Shoulders should not be responsible for posture”
Watch this video and see how this principal shows up in three of our ‘Foundational Movement Practices’ .
