This class is so good. I have been struggling with a pinched nerve in my neck for a few months. Physical Therapy was helping but very slow. Two days of this class and my pain receded by about 75%. I have no doubt that practicing these exercises daily will heal the pinched nerve. Thank you to the yoga instructors and to YD for posting this excellent class.

I have been practising yoga for a number of years but have tight shoulders . This video was very helpful and I will watch it again.

Love it. Will do it at least once every 10 days or so. He makes it makes so much sense that I m very tempted to focus just on Iyengar Yoga. Because I kind of dread having a conflict about where shoulders belong and stuff but this feels right

Back to basic with some very clear aligment cues to help my students breakdown the movement to get into poses with shoulder movement. thank you!

Amazing look at proper shoulder rotation. Bringing this to classes!

I love Iyengar! I ve shifted away into flow classes and this is what I miss - the zen of focus, of learning how an action here strengthens, lengthens, makes something easier (or harder!). Plus, my right rhomboid seems to knot up pretty regularly now. It is saying "get thee to an Iyengar class. . . " Thanks Kevin!

Wow - I think I learned more in that 30 min video than I did in my teacher training and my 15 years of yoga practice. It was incredibly hard for me to hold my arms up for the whole length of time in the beginning of the video. The good news is that I can try this move at my desk without drawing too much attention to myself...yay! I also have a shoulder injury, the root of which hasn t been medically diagnosed yet, but I feel like these techniques will allow me to continue my practice safely. Thank you!

What a lifesaver this class is. Lots of nuance to come back into. The audio has a hiss but otherwise this class is 100% quality.

This is very good for someone who has a shoulder injury and is trying to get back into the practice of yoga/pilates. It is supposed to be a technique class, but for those recovering from an injury, it will feel like a real work out. It is worth doing this class a number of times, to continue working on the proper extension, rotation, etc.

This class has changed not just my yoga practice but my everyday life! I have chronic right shoulder, neck and back pain, I see a CHIRO, a massage therapist and do strengthening exercises. All have helped but I still experience pain. I like doing yoga everyday but hurts too much on my right side after 3 or 4 classes. I WAS DOING IT INCORRECTLY! I learned about external rotation and extending my arms. This is a technique class but for those of us with a weak upper back and shoulders, it s a work-out for those areas. I have done it only about 4 times but that has allowed me to do yoga everyday and with less pain during and after. I can t wait to do the other "fundamentals" classes from Kevin.

This was a great lesson in shoulder girdle and movement. I have been struggling with a bum shoulder for a year or so and always feel like my yoga should be more beneficial. After having the mechanics of the shoulder explained like this I can see how I may have been aggravating it and how I should be able to alleviate that. Thanks!

I picked this class up because I have a problem with drooping shoulders. I am a 3 year old Iyengar student, and I quickly realised when I began watching this that this teacher has a real gift in explaining the mechanics of asanas. I would highly recommend this to Iyengar students of all levels. It has given me some new insights into how to perform shoulder action properly in classic poses like adho mukha svanasana & virabradhasana. He explains counter-rotation really well. I will likely use this class maybe once or twice a week to improve my shoulder posture. Also, this video is very reasonably priced and affordable. I highly recommend this class. Thanks!

Kevin Durkin is amazing. I learnt so much from this class. I broke my humerus 6 years ago and have am internal fixator. I feel that my broken arm is shorter and weaker, and also doesn t straighten properly. This has a knock on effect on my side body and spine obviously. This class really helped me focus on that area and for once, I felt equally strong. Amazing! Excellent instructor

Great information on the shoulder girdle - would have been nice to see a skeleton to point out the bones - and the sound could have been better - but the information was right on. Excellent!
