Breena Maggio Description:
An exploration of a variety of positions, for both work and rest, that you can use when you work at a low table, or garden, or clean the boat, or whatever! Play with it. Move more. Have fun and feel GOOD! Equipment Needed:
2 Bolsters, Half Dome, 2 Blankets, Strap (maybe more or less stuff depending on your bolstering needs)

Breena Maggio Description:
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.

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
