Strong Legs

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
How is your single leg balance? If you said not great, or ok, then your ability to walk without falling is just “not great, or ok”. We’ll work on hip strength, hip extension, lower leg tension, and hip opening. All good for making our walking healthier for our hips.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Large Block (or hard cover book)
* Note: This class includes a brief discussion on dogs and dog training… it’s brief

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
The feet are our foundation. And they are tight (for most of us). Tight feet affect everything that sits on top of them. We’ll spend some quality time restoring some of the length to the muscles of the feet and lower legs.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Tennis Ball (or therapy or YTU ball), maybe a Blanket, maybe a Bolster

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
*Please excuse the headless instructor for the first 30 seconds

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Time to work the back side of the legs! We should all be using our posterior leg muscles when walking. This class will help you discover how much or how little strength you have back there.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Yoga Strap, maybe a chair or firm foam roller
