Breena Maggio Description:
We haven’t done a class with the large ball in awhile, so this was fun! This class focuses quite a bit on spinal mobility and separating the motion of the pelvis from the ribcage- getting better at moving them independently from each other. Equipment Needed:
Large Exercise Ball, Red Squishy Ball, Half Dome, Blanket
Instructor:
Michael Kaffel Description:
The “Sit & Rise Test” is a decent predictor of all-cause mortality from cardiovascular disease. At the beginning of class, you’ll do a before test and then re-test at the end, after Michael takes you through a series of exercises to improve all mobilities required to get up from and down to the floor. Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Block
Instructor:
Breena Maggio Description:
We’ll make our own mini obstacle course to mimic some natural type movements, and intersperse that with corrective exercises. You’ll get to crawl, balance, pick stuff up from the floor, etc. Equipment:
A bunch of random stuff J Half Dome, Strap (or 2×4 or line of masking tape), Tennis Ball, Rocks, Wedge, Pool Noodle, Pillow Train, Rolled Blanket (long log)…
Instructor:
Breena Maggio Description:
For many of us, due to our lifestyles, we have a tendency to practice postures that shorten the musculature down the entire length of the posterior (rear side) of our bodies. From our necks, to our low backs, to the length of the musculature down the backs of our legs, we have a lot of tension back there! This hour will give those muscles some much-needed lengthening and possibly bring some awareness to these areas as you go through your day and cycle through your habitual postures. Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Bolster, Strap, 2 tennis balls in a sock
*We had some technical difficulties with the camera angle, so please excuse my cut off head…fortunately, it’s not necessary for the instructor to have a head to follow along with these exercises.
