This is Not a Fitness Class: Ribs & Pelvis (tva & pressure)

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
When we think of core strength, we don’t always consider the mobility of the individual ribs or the thoracic spine, but everything’s connected and the “stickiness” of these areas will affect how the core muscles work. So we’ll work on unsticking and lubing up these areas.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Half Dome, Strap, Blanket

Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
From our BEACH Ball series, this class doesn’t actually use a ball, because YOU will be the ball. Great deep core work.
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Yoga Block, 1/2 Dome, Yoga Strap

Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
What about the tucking? When should my pelvis be in neutral and when should I tuck? Wait…sometimes I should tuck???
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, Bolster

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
The ability for your transverse abdominal (TVA) muscles to be active is dependent on the position of the bones they are attached to- your ribs and your pelvis. We will go thru a series of evaluations and exercises to find neutral ribs and pelvis and work on activation of the deepest core muscles – your TVA.
