Feet & Lower Legs: Dorsiflexion

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Many of will find that once the femur is neutral (neutral kneepits), this reveals the tension in our feet. We will work on restoring mobility within the foot so that by the end of this class, your ability to evert the forefoot (getting the ball of your foot flat on the ground, or closer to it) will be better.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Strap, YTU ball or tennis ball…

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
This class will take place mostly on the floor, and we’ll be working the muscles around the thigh, both to lengthen and strengthen. You’ll be checking in with quads, hamstrings, inner thigh, and lateral hips.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Strap, Block

Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
Let’s check out the coveted motor skill of hip extension. Do you have it? What’s limiting your hip extension? How do YOU get your leg behind you when you walk?
Equipment:
Needed: Bolster, 1/2 Dome, Block, Strap

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
The pelvic (hip) list is the first thing that should happen for us to take a step, but most of us don’t have the strength in our lateral hips to support our own body weight. This progression will not only get you really working these muscles, but help you work them better by using a variety of “tricks”.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, 12” long Block (or maybe a book)
