Squat Prep & Hip Opening: Focus on Hip Flexors

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
An exploration of a variety of positions, for both work and rest, that you can use when you work at a low table, or garden, or clean the boat, or whatever! Play with it. Move more. Have fun and feel GOOD!
Equipment Needed:
2 Bolsters, Half Dome, 2 Blankets, Strap (maybe more or less stuff depending on your bolstering needs)

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
To be able to walk most efficiently (getting the most benefit and doing the least damage), we need to be able to do this thing called “posterior push-off” (among other things) which requires hip extension (among other things). Opening up the largest joint in your body (your hip) -working specifically on hip extension- will increase your body’s ability to push back further, but maybe more importantly, you’ll get a chance to see what your true hip extension looks like.
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, Strap

Instructor:
Breena Maggio

Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Yoga Strap, maybe a chair or firm foam roller
