Do Your Hip Flexors Yield?

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:
Breena Maggio
Description:
The feet are our foundation. And they are tight (for most of us). Tight feet affect everything that sits on top of them. We’ll spend some quality time restoring some of the length to the muscles of the feet and lower legs.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Tennis Ball (or therapy or YTU ball), maybe a Blanket, maybe a Bolster

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
Another flow series! Using breath and continuity of movement, you will be led through a series of exercises focusing on external rotation, pelvic list, and balance. Note: At the beginning of the Bosu section, you can use a bolster, stacked pillows or blankets, or your block, to place your knee on. During the two-legged balance portion, if you do not have a Bosu, you can use an inflatable balance disk or 2 half domes flat side up…or just do single leg balance on your half dome (flat side up). Take extra care if attempting the stand on the Bosu flat side up- sometimes a friend’s hand is helpful for getting on and off.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, maybe a Bosu or inflatable balance disk (if you have one. If not, your half dome, flat side up, will work just fine.)
*The video “Note” demonstrates use of the balance disk.

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Time to work the back side of the legs! We should all be using our posterior leg muscles when walking. This class will help you discover how much or how little strength you have back there.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Yoga Strap, maybe a chair or firm foam roller
