Neck & Thoracic Spine

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
We will work on increasing range of motion about the shoulder joint, and well as scapular (shoulderblade) stabilization and length of the pectoral (chest) muscles. Bonus: a trick your kids will love!
Equipment Needed:
Foam Roller, Half Dome, Block, Bolster, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles)

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Do you have an egghole? This is a great test. When your shoulder joint is aligned appropriately, you should have a little divot in your armpit, about the size of an egg. If you don’t, this is an area that needs to be addressed. This class will address the “egghole” and how to test for it.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Bolster, Strap with Door Attachment or a doorway

Instructor:
Joan Allen
Description:
You probably have some hyperkyposis- more forward curvature of your upper (thoracic) spine- than is ideal. Join the club. Enjoy this series (with before and after evaluation) that will magically reduce your hyperkyphosis. Repeat this often for best results!
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, Bolster, Foam Roll, Yellow Tube with handles

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Muscular strength requires appropriate muscle length. To prepare for some weight bearing and increased resistance, we will first work on opening up around the shoulder joint, and then gradually increase the workload for the upper body, finishing with lovely forearm stretches.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles), Light Weight, Foam Roller
