MyYogaOnline offers a new article “Hatha Yoga as Physical Therapy for Neck and Shoulder Pain” that offers great insight into the likely cause of chronic neck and shoulder pain in most people. This Yoga anatomy article explores alignment cues for your Yoga exercises and aids in bringing awareness to your overall posture in helping alleviate these chronic conditions.
