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:
You may know you need to improve your hip extension and you may be working on that. But how strong are your hip flexors? Can you lift your leg?
Equipment Needed:
Stool (or chair seat), Foam Roller, Half Dome, Strap, Red Squishy Ball, Pool Noodle (or rolled mat or towel)
* Warning: May cause soreness

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:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
Let’s check out the coveted motor skill of hip extension. Do you have it? What’s limiting your hip extension? How do YOU get your leg behind you when you walk?
Equipment:
Needed: Bolster, 1/2 Dome, Block, Strap
