Too much time on your computer or cell phone? If your shoulders seem to permanently reside up near your ears, you need to try this short practice with Marla Waal.

This is awesome! I have multiple serious shoulder issues arising from scoliosis and repetitive stress injuries related to playing the flute. This felt great.

This was the best 25 minutes of my life! I've been carrying a lot of tension in my shoulders (from stress) and this really helped to relieve the majority of it. Wow I feel great! I'm so glad Marla is back! She's one of the best teachers I've experienced on MYO.
