Chest & Shoulder Opening 2

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:
Many of us have tight and immobile chest and shoulder muscles and use the entire neck and shoulder girdle to move our arms around and we don’t have the ability (mobility) to actually move our arms at the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint. This class will help you discover- and release- the tension that is hindering appropriate movement of the shoulder and causing unnecessary wear at the joint.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, 1/2 Dome, Block, 2 Straps or a 10ft strap

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
A delicious opportunity to release those tight neck muscles (and rhomboids, chest, and forearm) and improve mobility of the thoracic spine.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Blanket, Tennis Ball, Light Weight

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Muscular strength requires appropriate muscle length. To prepare for some weight bearing and increased resistance, we will first work on opening up around the shoulder joint, and then gradually increase the workload for the upper body, finishing with lovely forearm stretches.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles), Light Weight, Foam Roller
