Can You Lift Your Leg?

Instructor:
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

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:
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
*Please excuse the headless instructor for the first 30 seconds
