Posture Part 3

For this class you need a strap, blocks and a blanket.

We start out warming up laying down and work on strengthening our core. From there we continue to get our bodies moving in all fours and then in standing stretching while holding a strap over head. We continue finding the serratus anterior muscles under the shoulder blades in all fours and then in plank pose. We also continue the work of finding the adductors with shoulder strength in side plank with the block variation. All of these poses give us strength for tall upright posture and ease of movements in the standing poses. This class was filmed live February 12, 2022.

Breathing + Side Plank Fun

For this class you will need blocks and blankets.

We start out warming up and giving some love to all our joints, knees and ankles included. From there we build subtle and strong core stability to support the later work as well as shoulder mobility. We also sprinkle in breath work all throughout so that the end result is strong, breathable side planks!. This class was filmed live January 3, 2022.

Move Your Hips and Spine

For this class you will need blocks and optional blanket for padding.

We work on strong and mobile hips in the warm up. Stable hips gives us a great base for the spine to rotate on. We also continue to check in with our breathing as a way to create more body awareness in the poses, can you still feel your breath down the length of your spine in the twists? We work up to revolved triangle in the standing poses. This class was filmed live July 20, 2021.
