Strong Upper Body

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Really focusing on motion AT the shoulder joint (versus movement OF the shoulder joint) we’ll look at not only the passive range of motion, but also the strength to move about the joint, and opening up the musculature that might be inhibiting some of the motion.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, (2) Blocks, Blanket, YTU balls (or tennis balls or pinkie balls)

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
We will work on increasing range of motion about the shoulder joint, and well as scapular (shoulderblade) stabilization and length of the pectoral (chest) muscles. Bonus: a trick your kids will love!
Equipment Needed:
Foam Roller, Half Dome, Block, Bolster, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles)

“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

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
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.

Half Dome, Strap, Bolster, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles)
