Description

When the shoulder girdle moves correctly, great function is invited.  Each bone of the shoulder girdle; the cravicles, the scapulae and the humerus bone, have a unique rhythm of movement to facilitate the arm moving in space.

A great scapular-humeral rhythm will invite the correct phrasing of the arm and core muscles. When you get a client to better use her shoulder girdle, her arm strength, posture and connection to the core will improve. Learn how this rhythm works and how to help your clients improve theirs.

Feedback on Scapula Revolution by Lesley Powell

" Wonderful workshop. Very valuable and informative. It has totally transformed the way I teach arm series! "

Kyrie L

" Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Loved it all! Plenty of exercises to practice on and clear idea of the bones moving on each other for optimal organisation! Loved it! "

Maria S

" Once again Lesley, you provide such precise and at the same time including material. As a former dancer, I particularly appreciate the richness of your ressources and imagery (BMC, Feldenkrais, Eric Franklyn, Bertenieff...). Also I don't think I have complimented you for your anatomy paintings which to me are more like dancing portraits. I find them really beautiful and alive. There is so much poetry in your deep understanding of the body. Thank you for sharing it. "

Caroline B

" Excellent workshop! As always, Lesley Powell is a master of anatomy and her cueing/tips unique. I highly recommend this workshop. "

Eileen M

" Eye-opening info on how the scapula moves around the ribcage! "

Jenny G

" excellent! After watching Lesley's presentation, I will be teaching my clients in a completely different way. Some of my cues have been hindering my clients in their ability to find proper scapular humeral rhythm and proper posture... "

Kris B

" This was great! The imagery and ability to watch a body in motion really helped. There were lots of useful variations to get the same effect. I also like seeing two different bodies doing the same exercises and watching where the weaknesses were for each person. "

Teresa G

" Great visuals and cues. Loved diving deeper into the shoulder! "

Karin N

" Great workshop! "

Marcus S

" Great information that i will use in all my classes and privates... "

Darlene K

" Very useful explanations and applications to classic equipment repertoire "

Maria C

" This workshop was very informative. I like how Lesley breaks down the mechanics of the shoulder girdle and provides exercises to isolate each muscle. I had to watch it more than once to absorb everything. Lesley is very detailed and specific in her cuing and corrections, and it has given me a lot to think about in working with my own clients. I am looking forward to putting this workshop to good use with clients experiencing shoulder dysfunction. "

Parker S

" A great video to learn the placement of the shoulder blades - the material Lesley covered , the use of her language, and anatomy references are excellent . "

Amy S

" Wonderful workshop. Great ideas to engage and strengthen the serratus! "
