Nooks & Crannies: Lumbar Area

Instructor:
Joan Allen
Description:
A full core workout- active, reflexive, stretching, relaxing (just a little). This class will get your core moving in ways it might never have!
Equipment Needed:
Large Exercise Ball, BOSU (or Bolster), Blanket, Half Dome, Block, Red Squishy Ball

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
In this class we will explore shoulder range of motion and hyperkyphosis and their relationship to core strength. To support your weight- either on your hands or hanging from them- you need thoracic mobility and the ability to stabilize your ribcage, i.e. core strength. This class will help you become aware of tensions that might be preventing you from moving through various ranges of motion required for hanging or supported body weight exercises.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, (2) Straps. Light Weight (1 or 2 lbs)
* Note: If you have diastasis recti, be mindful of the integrity of the abdominal wall and work within the parameters of your boundaries.
