Strong Legs

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Are you a rib thruster? If you are (or used to be) you might have a fair amount of tension around the lower end of the thoracic spine (T12 area)/upper part of the lumbar spine. So, while you are working on “dropping the ribs” they might still need some “ramping”, and that tension may be getting in the way. This class is mostly easing of that area to improve mobility and the natural “ramping” of the ribcage.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Blanket, Red Squishy Ball

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:

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:
Let’s go thru a multitude of variations on the Figure 4, from floor to seated/bolstered to standing. Groovy hip opening and lateral hip strength work.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, 1/2 Dome, maybe a block, blanket, chair, counter
