On this episode Jason answers three of our listener questions and it just so happens that they all focus on some aspect of shoulder anatomy. We also talk about cats a lot. Here are the questions:

* Why do we flex the ankle in poses like Reclined Pigeon?
* Is "pull the shoulder blades down" a "bad" alignment cue?
* In Plank Pose, do you push strongly through the arms and upper back? Or soften the shoulders?
