Strong Upper Body

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Really focusing on motion AT the shoulder joint (versus movement OF the shoulder joint) we’ll look at not only the passive range of motion, but also the strength to move about the joint, and opening up the musculature that might be inhibiting some of the motion.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, (2) Blocks, Blanket, YTU balls (or tennis balls or pinkie balls)

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Oh my. This will be amazing if you have any neck tension, hyperkyphosis (extra forward curve in your upper spine), or work at a desk or on a computer. You’ll gain mobility and release a ton of tension.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Pair of YTU balls or tennis balls in a sock

Instructor:
Tim Harris
Description:
Another opportunity to work on scapular stabilization and mobilization, shoulder range of motion, and improve your upper body strength (which includes grip strength!).
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Strap, Yellow Tube with Handles

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
We will work on increasing range of motion about the shoulder joint, and well as scapular (shoulderblade) stabilization and length of the pectoral (chest) muscles. Bonus: a trick your kids will love!
