Yoga practice has the goal of improving health. One of the high possible things this Indian practice offers is the possibility to set specific goals considering each person’s body and needs. Here we’ll talk about asanas to relieve shoulder pain.

What happens often is that people don’t consider an entire formula for getting rid of shoulder pain for good, they only seek for some quick relief. Through yoga, it’s possible to get assistance, but better than that, it’s possible to also focus on building strong shoulders.

Why do we get shoulder pain? “It seems like you’re carrying the world on your shoulders.” This saying pretty sums up everything. Stress, tension, responsibility, lousy sleeping, but also lack of strength and a misunderstanding of how to relax, result in severe shoulder pain for many. Luckily, we have some asanas to relieve shoulder pain.
