How strong are your legs? Not “how much weight can you lift or push” but “can your legs move YOU?” Let’s see… Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Strap, Monster Band, 2 Blankets (maybe other bolsters depending on your hip and knee mobility)
Note: We had a foam roller out that we didn’t end up using. An awesome exercise you can use it for is to do the “splits” on the roller: Front calf on the roller, back knee on floor. Square up your pelvis towards the roller. Gradually roll the roller away from you- repositioning it towards the ankle as necessary- as you go deeper into the “splits” (might not look anything like the splits) to get a great stretch in the hamstrings of the front leg and hip flexors of the back leg, and a bonus rolling on the calf on the roller. So good.

Breena Maggio Description:
Our tight hip flexors inhibit both full extension of the hip (think leg going back behind you when you walk) and full hip flexion. This class will give you a chance to spend time both in flexion and working on releasing in extension – both of which will help further your progress of moving through your well- aligned squat. Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Strap (maybe 2), Block, Bolster, maybe a second Half Domes or rolled up yoga mat
