Chest & Shoulder Opening: Eggholes

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
A reprise of the anti-hyperkyphosis series with a look at not only mobilizing the t-spine (thoracic spine) but also being more aware of our posture throughout the day to create new adaptations for the spine and supporting musculature. Just can’t get enough of this stuff!
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Blanket, Half Dome

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Oh my. This will be amazing if you have any neck tension, hyperkyphosis (extra forward curve in your upper spine), or work at a desk or on a computer. You’ll gain mobility and release a ton of tension.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Pair of YTU balls or tennis balls in a sock

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Strength requires muscles that lengthen or yield. If you have a muscle that is in a chronically short- or long- position, it can’t generate force and thus is “weak”. We need muscles that have the ability to contract (shorten) and relax (lengthen). In this class we’ll go back and forth between lengthening stretches and strengthening exercises. Yee haw!
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, ½ Dome, & something else like another ½ dome, or strap, or block

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
As the name implies, this is a challenging class that will work the upper body…you may be sore tomorrow. That’s not a bad thing. Enjoy and repeat. The “Roll Out the Tension: Upper Back & Shoulders” class is a great prep or follow-up to this class.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Strap, Bolster, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles)
