Gentle Mobility of the Pelvis

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:
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:
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
