Connecting the Shoulders: About the Course

In 8 weeks you will progressively reveal a new way of using your shoulders, one that allows the shoulders to be open, stable, extraordinarily relaxed and free from restrictive tension. Learn to melt the tension of the arms into the torso, through the back and down into the feet so that the shoulders no longer have to support the weight of the arms by themselves, but instead are driven by the powerful and large muscles of the back and legs. In this method you will melt through your old injuries, and reintegrate long forgotten parts of your shoulders. Each week will introduce new exercises while continuing to develop the overall vision of the shoulders connected through an ongoing process of opening and releasing.

Meet Your Instructor: Craig Mallett

I've been diving into Daoist internal cultivation and Chinese martial arts for over 20 years, along with exploring modern physical cultivation methods. Teaching for more than a decade, I realized the key to overcoming shoulder tension lies in the qualities of opening and releasing, which allows the pressure to melt out of the arms and connects them naturally to the torso. Join me on this path to training for profoundly free shoulders using Daoist principles!
