Description:
We begin everyone’s Restorative Exercise™ (RE) education with the 1A: Intro to Alignment, which teaches us the fundamentals of RE. The next step in the RE protocol is 1B, which covers the next set of motor skills for optimal gait. We’re goin’ back to basics here, which is always a good thing to do! This is a great opportunity to make sure you understand the foundation of your alignment practice.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, Strap, Wall

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
For many of us, due to our lifestyles, we have a tendency to practice postures that shorten the musculature down the entire length of the posterior (rear side) of our bodies. From our necks, to our low backs, to the length of the musculature down the backs of our legs, we have a lot of tension back there! This hour will give those muscles some much-needed lengthening and possibly bring some awareness to these areas as you go through your day and cycle through your habitual postures.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Bolster, Strap, 2 tennis balls in a sock
*We had some technical difficulties with the camera angle, so please excuse my cut off head…fortunately, it’s not necessary for the instructor to have a head to follow along with these exercises.
