Super Supple Neck & Shoulders: Neck Focus

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Really focusing on motion AT the shoulder joint (versus movement OF the shoulder joint) we’ll look at not only the passive range of motion, but also the strength to move about the joint, and opening up the musculature that might be inhibiting some of the motion.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, (2) Blocks, Blanket, YTU balls (or tennis balls or pinkie balls)

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:
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:
Breena Maggio
Description:
We will work on increasing range of motion about the shoulder joint, and well as scapular (shoulderblade) stabilization and length of the pectoral (chest) muscles. Bonus: a trick your kids will love!
Equipment Needed:
Foam Roller, Half Dome, Block, Bolster, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles)
