Whole Body Alignment: Focus on Neck

Instructor:
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)

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Lots of chest opening and shoulder range of motion exercises. (I tried really hard to make sure I was on camera for the one at the wall- and really thought I was. So, check out the attached video for specifics on that awesome chest opener.)
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Strap

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

“Ouch That Hurts” or “I Didn’t Know I Had Muscles There”
Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
You’re gonna love this. Using the tennis balls, you’ll have a chance to explore ALL around the shoulder joints…discovering muscles you didn’t even know you had. This class finishes with a lovely pass down the spine from neck to shoulder blades.
Equipment Needed:
Blanket, Half Dome, 2 Tennis Balls in a sock, Bolster
