About This Event

The shoulder is a complex and very mobile part of the body that requires stability and strength, especially when weight bearing on the arms in asana practice. Learn how to safely move through common yoga poses and tips to support yourself and your students when challenges come your way. Join Keri Bergeron, Jenny Loftus, and Arturo Peal for all things shoulders.

Jenny Loftus (E-RYT 500, YACEP) is a certified teacher, licensed massage therapist, and registered nurse working in Denver, CO. Her varied experience has led to a deep understanding of how to support healthy aging through yoga.

Arturo Peal is an Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) instructor and a certified Yoga therapist. He co-leads the Therapeutic Yoga Training Program and holds a Master’s degree in Chinese medicine, practices craniosacral therapy, and has been involved in the alternative health-care field for more than 30 years. Arturo teaches A&P for Yoga teacher trainings plus studios, bodyworkers, and other movement specialists. His weekly class in Therapeutic Yoga serves students who are unable to do a traditional Vinyasa practice. He integrates his expertise in anatomy, kinesiology, Chinese medicine, and the healing processes to present a multidimensional understanding of the human body.
