Roll Out the Tension: Upper Back & Shoulders

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:
Oh my. This will be amazing if you have any neck tension, hyperkyphosis (extra forward curve in your upper spine), or work at a desk or on a computer. You’ll gain mobility and release a ton of tension.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Pair of YTU balls or tennis balls in a sock

Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
Let’s dig in deep to our hyperkyphosis and explore our actual shoulder motion, shall we?
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, 1/2 Dome, Block, light weights (or small canned goods)
* Sorry about the “tap, tap, tapping”…we have a bird that is in love with him or herself. We think he is sending us a message in Morse code. If you can decipher the code, please let us know. It is likely a universal message to humanity and could likely save the world. Unfortunately, none of know Morse code.

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)
