Super Supple Neck & Shoulders: Neck Focus

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
If you use your hands daily, you might find there is tension in the hands and arms. This tension can translate up to the neck and shoulders. We’ll work on hand mobility and stretching and mobilizing the wrists and forearms and we’ll play with bolstering of the hands and wrists.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Ball (YTU or tennis ball), table or stack of blocks.

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:
Do you have an egghole? This is a great test. When your shoulder joint is aligned appropriately, you should have a little divot in your armpit, about the size of an egg. If you don’t, this is an area that needs to be addressed. This class will address the “egghole” and how to test for it.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Bolster, Strap with Door Attachment or a doorway
