Shoulder Dowel Mobility Practice

Discover a playful, powerful pathway to freer shoulders, safer movement, and deeper embodiment. The Shoulder Dowel Mobility Practice is a short, focused ritual that uses a simple wooden dowel (or broomstick) plus somatic cues to rewire shoulder patterns, unlock stuck mobility, and restore confident, pain-reduced movement — whether you’re at your desk, on the mat, or preparing for your favorite lift or handstand.

Why it works

• The dowel gives clear external feedback so your nervous system can learn new alignment and movement patterns faster than abstract cues alone.

• Movement + somatic awareness = lasting change. We blend gentle mobilizations with breath, scans, and playful micro-embodiment prompts so the shoulders don’t just move better — they feel different from the inside out.

• Scalable for all bodies. Routines are easily modified for injury, hypermobility, or strength-focused goals.

What you’ll gain

• Increased overhead mobility and safer shoulder flexion and rotation.

• Fewer creaks, pinches, and micro-tears — less compensatory neck and upper-back strain.

• Improved posture and easier daily activities: reaching, lifting, carrying, dressing.

• Confidence to move into challenging poses or lifts with less fear and more control.

• A 10–20 minute ritual you can do daily, or 2–3×/week for noticeable gains in weeks.

What’s included

• A playful, progressive sequence (beginner → intermediate → advanced) using the dowel and focused somatic cues.

• Clear step-by-step video demos and audio cues so you can practice eyes-closed or while getting into flow.

• Modifications for shoulder pain, recent injuries, and hypermobile joints.

• Short modules for: overhead work, external rotation, scapular control, and integration into standing/handstand prep.

• A printable quick-reference flow for travel or office breaks.

Who this is for

• Yogis and handstand artists wanting safer overhead lines.
