* Sorry about the “tap, tap, tapping”…we have a bird that is in love with him or herself. We think he is sending us a message in Morse code. If you can decipher the code, please let us know. It is likely a universal message to humanity and could likely save the world. Unfortunately, none of know Morse code.

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Strength requires muscles that lengthen or yield. If you have a muscle that is in a chronically short- or long- position, it can’t generate force and thus is “weak”. We need muscles that have the ability to contract (shorten) and relax (lengthen). In this class we’ll go back and forth between lengthening stretches and strengthening exercises. Yee haw!
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, ½ Dome, & something else like another ½ dome, or strap, or block

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
