I have just experienced a shoulder injury myself. I laid off practice for a few

days and then returned. I must have returned too soon because I reinjured it

within a week or so. Now I have been off the mat for about 3 weeks. If you have

health insurance, go to the doctor/ sports injury specialist or something.

Shoulders are very tricky apparently and an injury must be handled with patience

and delicacy.

 

Good luck.

Hi everyone!

 

I'm new to the board and I have been practicing Ashtanga for about a

month or so and yesterday I took a Led Class but found my right

shoulder hurting after doing a chaturanga. I am guessing I must have

landed too hard or I dunno what happened anyway it is hurting. I

began to practice this morning but after doing my last Surya

Namaskar B my shoulder started acting up so I was wondering if

anyone has advice on how many days I should lay off the practice or

is this a common occurence and should I work through it?

Many Thanks,

Vanessa

You can injure your shoulder if you drop down too far

in chaturanga. i.e., if you drop to the ground, below

your elbows. I made that simple change and my

shoulder pain went away.

Thanks everyone for your help, I think I will lay off practice for a

few days and then see what happens. I taught a class last night and

did a few chaturangas and the pain wasn't bad.

 

Thanks again!
