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:
This class will involve gentle exercises to help improve mobility of the pelvic joints- hips and lumbar spine.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Red Squishy Ball, (2) Straps

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
This class will take place mostly on the floor, and we’ll be working the muscles around the thigh, both to lengthen and strengthen. You’ll be checking in with quads, hamstrings, inner thigh, and lateral hips.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Strap, Block

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
To be able to walk most efficiently (getting the most benefit and doing the least damage), we need to be able to do this thing called “posterior push-off” (among other things) which requires hip extension (among other things). Opening up the largest joint in your body (your hip) -working specifically on hip extension- will increase your body’s ability to push back further, but maybe more importantly, you’ll get a chance to see what your true hip extension looks like.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, Strap
