Squat Prep & Hip Opening: Focus on Hip Flexors

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
How is your single leg balance? If you said not great, or ok, then your ability to walk without falling is just “not great, or ok”. We’ll work on hip strength, hip extension, lower leg tension, and hip opening. All good for making our walking healthier for our hips.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Large Block (or hard cover book)
* Note: This class includes a brief discussion on dogs and dog training… it’s brief
