Super Supple Neck & Shoulders: Neck Focus

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Lots of chest opening and shoulder range of motion exercises. (I tried really hard to make sure I was on camera for the one at the wall- and really thought I was. So, check out the attached video for specifics on that awesome chest opener.)
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Strap

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Strength requires muscles that lengthen or yield. If you have a muscle that is in a chronically short- or long- position, it can’t generate force and thus is “weak”. We need muscles that have the ability to contract (shorten) and relax (lengthen). In this class we’ll go back and forth between lengthening stretches and strengthening exercises. Yee haw!
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, ½ Dome, & something else like another ½ dome, or strap, or block

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Many of us have tight and immobile chest and shoulder muscles and use the entire neck and shoulder girdle to move our arms around and we don’t have the ability (mobility) to actually move our arms at the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint. This class will help you discover- and release- the tension that is hindering appropriate movement of the shoulder and causing unnecessary wear at the joint.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, 1/2 Dome, Block, 2 Straps or a 10ft strap

Instructor:
Joan Allen
Description:
You probably have some hyperkyposis- more forward curvature of your upper (thoracic) spine- than is ideal. Join the club. Enjoy this series (with before and after evaluation) that will magically reduce your hyperkyphosis. Repeat this often for best results!
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, Bolster, Foam Roll, Yellow Tube with handles
