Strong Legs

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
This class will involve gentle exercises to help improve mobility of the pelvic joints- hips and lumbar spine.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Red Squishy Ball, (2) Straps

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
We’ll be playing with and observing knee and hip stability. What does it take? How is yours? What do you need to do to stabilize? This series will help you create some awareness for how you move up and down steps (stairs, curbs, etc.) throughout your day and what you can work on to fill in your strength gaps.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Strap, Foam Roller, and something to step up onto (stack of blocks, hardcover books, step stool)

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
To be able to walk most efficiently (getting the most benefit and doing the least damage), we need to be able to do this thing called “posterior push-off” (among other things) which requires hip extension (among other things). Opening up the largest joint in your body (your hip) -working specifically on hip extension- will increase your body’s ability to push back further, but maybe more importantly, you’ll get a chance to see what your true hip extension looks like.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, Strap

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Time to work the back side of the legs! We should all be using our posterior leg muscles when walking. This class will help you discover how much or how little strength you have back there.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Yoga Strap, maybe a chair or firm foam roller
