Spinal Articulation

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
We haven’t done a class with the large ball in awhile, so this was fun! This class focuses quite a bit on spinal mobility and separating the motion of the pelvis from the ribcage- getting better at moving them independently from each other.
Equipment Needed:
Large Exercise Ball, Red Squishy Ball, Half Dome, Blanket

Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
The “Sit & Rise Test” is a decent predictor of all-cause mortality from cardiovascular disease. At the beginning of class, you’ll do a before test and then re-test at the end, after Michael takes you through a series of exercises to improve all mobilities required to get up from and down to the floor.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Block

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
An aligned body is a strong body- naturally. A strong body is a balanced body. Tim will take you through another series to balance out your body’s strength.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, Strap

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
Using breath and continuity of movement, you will be led through a series of exercises focusing especially on the feet, spine, hips, and shoulders (ya, it’s pretty much everything).
Equipment Needed:
Maybe a Half Dome, Block, or other bolster item
* Note: This class may challenge you a bit, so transition carefully and work within YOUR boundaries. If you have a hip or knee replacement, you may need to take extra care and modify or skip some of the movements on that side.
