Upper Body Stretch & Strength: Shoulder Joint

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
Oh, Shoulder Mobility. We need it to be able to use our arms efficiently- for hanging and swinging, to assist with breathing, to help support our pelvis, and keep good circulation to our head and hands. This’ll be a challenging one that will help so much with improving range of motion and mobility about the shoulders.
Equipment Needed:
(2) Half Domes, (2) Blocks, 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

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
A delicious opportunity to release those tight neck muscles (and rhomboids, chest, and forearm) and improve mobility of the thoracic spine.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Blanket, Tennis Ball, Light Weight

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Muscular strength requires appropriate muscle length. To prepare for some weight bearing and increased resistance, we will first work on opening up around the shoulder joint, and then gradually increase the workload for the upper body, finishing with lovely forearm stretches.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles), Light Weight, Foam Roller
