To truly be a shoulder stand, the muscles that elevate, adduct, and downwardly rotate your scapulae must be strong enough to keep your scapulae in that position despite the weight of your entire body resting on them.

Do you notice the relationship between the integrity of your shoulder girdle and the tendency of your weight to shift down into your thorax and add resistance to the movements of your diaphragm? Wherever your hands are placed, can you sense breath movement beneath them?
