Vientiane Yoga Studio
Yoga is a discipline,
it should not be swayed by your moods.
In scapulohumeral rhythm, raising the arm combines upward rotation of the scapula with elevation at the glenohumeral joint in an overall ratio of about 1:2 (at 180° of elevation, about 60° comes from the scapula and 120° from the glenohumeral joint). During roughly the first 30°, most of the motion occurs at the glenohumeral joint; beyond that, the scapula contributes a larger share. The position in which the long axis of the humerus lines up with the spine of the scapula is called the zero position; in this video it occurs at about 138° (reported values range from about 130° to 155°, with individual variation). In the zero position, the lines of pull of the rotator cuff and other muscles align with the humeral axis, so almost no rotational force acts on the humerus, and the glenohumeral joint is considered to be in a stable position.
Raising the arm relies on two main force couples. The first is the deltoid and the rotator cuff: the deltoid lifts the humerus while the rotator cuff draws the humeral head downward and into the glenoid, so the arm rises with the head kept centered in the glenoid. The second is the trapezius (upper and lower fibers) and the serratus anterior, which rotate the scapula upward and turn the glenoid to face upward. Working together, these two force couples allow the arm to be raised smoothly.
Viewed from behind, the serratus anterior is hidden underneath the scapula. This 3D video therefore shows the shoulder from a posterolateral angle, rotated 70° toward the right side. It shows how the serratus anterior runs from the medial border of the scapula forward around the chest wall to attach to the ribs, and how the inferior angle of the scapula glides around to the side of the chest as the arm is raised.

Instructors
Toshi
Studio Manager/ Teacher
Born in December 1972 in Hokkaido, Japan.
Driven by a lifelong interest in Eastern philosophy, I devoted six years to intensive training in Zen and martial arts in China, followed by four years at an ashram in India. Having overcome two Achilles tendon ruptures, I shifted my focus to yoga. Over the course of ten years, I practised six days a week for ten hours a day.
Since completing that training, I have spent more than ten years balancing my own practice with teaching yoga, qigong and other disciplines. My physical practice alone totals over 30,000 hours, whilst I have accumulated more than 10,000 hours of meditation practice.
In my teaching, I place great emphasis on precise alignment to prevent injury and maximise physical potential. By refining the body, one can cultivate mental stability and deep maturity.

Private Classes
・We can offer private classes at the studio only.
・It could be ideal for professional or amateur athletes, who want to improve your performance, flexibility and strength. I think this is what I am best at.
・If you want to try inversion postures, like head stand, hand stand, and some arm balance postures.
・And not only physical but also mental, as a Zen practitioner, I can teach meditations.
・Yoga for self-development: you can work on any goals you choose, not just those related to “performing” yoga poses. Yoga can be used to set in place positive thinking habits that lead to confidence, enthusiasm, faith, focus & purpose.
