Back to Basics: 1A/1B

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
We haven’t done a class with the large ball in awhile, so this was fun! This class focuses quite a bit on spinal mobility and separating the motion of the pelvis from the ribcage- getting better at moving them independently from each other.
Equipment Needed:
Large Exercise Ball, Red Squishy Ball, Half Dome, Blanket

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
This class will use the “Waitress/Waiter” exercise to evaluate the external rotation of your shoulders. Lots of chest opening, shoulder mobility, and scapular stabilization.
Equipment Needed:
Block, Bolster, Half Dome, Blanket, Yellow Tube with handles and an attachment point.
Note: We lost the last couple minutes of the video, so here’s basically what we did: finish the unwinding, add in wide scapulae, then re-check your external rotation in the Waitress. Voilá! Amazing right?

Breena Maggio
Description:
Just another super yummy whole body stretch class!
Equipment Needed:

Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
The “Sit & Rise Test” is a decent predictor of all-cause mortality from cardiovascular disease. At the beginning of class, you’ll do a before test and then re-test at the end, after Michael takes you through a series of exercises to improve all mobilities required to get up from and down to the floor.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Block
