Nooks & Crannies: Lumbar Area

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Let’s check out our adductors. This class will work with the strength and yield of the inner thighs both with straight and bent knees.
Equipment Needed:
Block, Bolster, Half Dome, Strap, Red Squishy Ball (or block)

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
When we think of core strength, we don’t always consider the mobility of the individual ribs or the thoracic spine, but everything’s connected and the “stickiness” of these areas will affect how the core muscles work. So we’ll work on unsticking and lubing up these areas.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Strap, Blanket

Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
Core muscles are required for balance. They should be able to handle dynamic loads. This class includes a progression of balance exercises on the ball, plenty of twisting, some hip opening…and lots of fun!
Equipment Needed:
Large Exercise Ball, Half Dome
*Be careful with the balance exercises in this class! 

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
The ability for your transverse abdominal (TVA) muscles to be active is dependent on the position of the bones they are attached to- your ribs and your pelvis. We will go thru a series of evaluations and exercises to find neutral ribs and pelvis and work on activation of the deepest core muscles – your TVA.
Equipment Needed:
