Breena Maggio Description:
How is your single leg balance? If you said not great, or ok, then your ability to walk without falling is just “not great, or ok”. We’ll work on hip strength, hip extension, lower leg tension, and hip opening. All good for making our walking healthier for our hips. Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Large Block (or hard cover book) * Note: This class includes a brief discussion on dogs and dog training… it’s brief

Breena Maggio Description:
Many of will find that once the femur is neutral (neutral kneepits), this reveals the tension in our feet. We will work on restoring mobility within the foot so that by the end of this class, your ability to evert the forefoot (getting the ball of your foot flat on the ground, or closer to it) will be better. Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Strap, YTU ball or tennis ball…

Tim Harris Description:
Another flow series! Using breath and continuity of movement, you will be led through a series of exercises focusing on external rotation, pelvic list, and balance. Note: At the beginning of the Bosu section, you can use a bolster, stacked pillows or blankets, or your block, to place your knee on. During the two-legged balance portion, if you do not have a Bosu, you can use an inflatable balance disk or 2 half domes flat side up…or just do single leg balance on your half dome (flat side up). Take extra care if attempting the stand on the Bosu flat side up- sometimes a friend’s hand is helpful for getting on and off. Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, maybe a Bosu or inflatable balance disk (if you have one. If not, your half dome, flat side up, will work just fine.)
*The video “Note” demonstrates use of the balance disk.
