(1/2) In both myself and my clients, I see more shoulder discomfort when it's cold. Our shoulders ride up near our ears to preserve warmth, and layers of thicker clothing can restrict our range of motion.

Shoulders can be both unstable and tight, paradoxically at the same time.

I’ve never manifested anything. I just do things. It has worked pretty well.

My annual reminder to students and clients: when the weather gets cold, we often don’t drink as much water and can get dehydrated. Stay topped off.

If we don’t develop our language around balance, we can’t describe ways to improve it. Terms like “base of support” and “anticipatory mechanisms” can improve our balance for the rest of our lives. I review these terms and much more this Sunday at Schoolhouse. www.frameworksyoga.com/schedule/f54...
