    In almost every yoga series there are poses that strain the sholders and back. my advice would be to aviod yoga unitll your shoulder has gotten better and you have gone to physical therapy.

    hmm it is not the best posture for shoulder injuries. depending on the severity of the injury, you could use a belt from behind around the hips and pull back, thereby taking the weight off the shoulders?
