This is Not a Fitness Class: Upper Body Strength

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:
Tight hands usually goes along with neck tension. If you spend considerable time at a computer or doing focused handwork, or simply have some degree of hyperkyphosis and/or internally rotated arms, this class will help unwind the tension from your neck all the way down to your fingertips.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Bolster, Light Weight (3-5lbs)

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

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
As the name implies, this is a challenging class that will work the upper body…you may be sore tomorrow. That’s not a bad thing. Enjoy and repeat. The “Roll Out the Tension: Upper Back & Shoulders” class is a great prep or follow-up to this class.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Strap, Bolster, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles)
