For this class you might want a blanket or bolster, and yoga blocks. In this class we combine the powerful work of hips and neck. Through fasicia our bodies woven together and connected so the hip and neck work directly effect each other. We also work on nerve flossing to help alleviate tension and open up greater ranges of motion. We then put it all together in our standing poses working subtly with the neck.

Neck and Shoulder Reset
For this class use a towel for some body buffing as part of the warm up. Does this sensory work improve your range of motion? Feel free to sit in a chair or on the floor for the warm up.
From there we use blocks as a way to build strength in the neck both while staying still and then moving. From there we continue to warm up the rest of the body in some reclining stretches. We then work with the block against the head again in the standing poses to feel the stability it brings to the neck. We end class with legs up the wall to rest a recover from the strengthening work.

Twisted Chair
For this class you will need blocks and a blanket and a resistance band.
In this sequence we warm up the wrists and then work on flexion and extension of the spine. This can help open up space for twisting. From there we move on to our hip strengtheners. In the standing poses we put all this rotation prep into action in twisted chair pose and a binding twist in the lunge. This class was filmed live September 18, 2021.
