Michael Kaffel Description:
Due to all the stuff we do with our arms out in front of us (driving, computers), many of us have developed a really tight chest and shoulders, and hyperkyphosis of the thoracic spine. This class will help to mobilize the shoulders and thoracic spine and help to restore the stability of the scapulae. (This class is a replay from a few years ago…enjoy!) Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Bolster, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles)

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.

Let’s dig in deep to our hyperkyphosis and explore our actual shoulder motion, shall we? Equipment Needed:
Bolster, 1/2 Dome, Block, light weights (or small canned goods)
* Sorry about the “tap, tap, tapping”…we have a bird that is in love with him or herself. We think he is sending us a message in Morse code. If you can decipher the code, please let us know. It is likely a universal message to humanity and could likely save the world. Unfortunately, none of know Morse code.

Half Dome, Block, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles), Light Weight, Foam Roller
