Upper Body Stretch & Strength: Chest & Back

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
A reprise of the anti-hyperkyphosis series with a look at not only mobilizing the t-spine (thoracic spine) but also being more aware of our posture throughout the day to create new adaptations for the spine and supporting musculature. Just can’t get enough of this stuff!
Equipment Needed:
Bolster, Blanket, Half Dome

Instructor:
Breena Maggio
Description:
Tight hands usually goes along with neck tension. If you spend considerable time at a computer or doing focused handwork, or simply have some degree of hyperkyphosis and/or internally rotated arms, this class will help unwind the tension from your neck all the way down to your fingertips.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Bolster, Light Weight (3-5lbs)

Instructor:
Michael Kaffel
Description:
Due to all the stuff we do with our arms out in front of us (driving, computers), many of us have developed a really tight chest and shoulders, and hyperkyphosis of the thoracic spine. This class will help to mobilize the shoulders and thoracic spine and help to restore the stability of the scapulae.
Equipment Needed:
Half Dome, Block, Bolster, Elastic Tubing (light resistance, preferably with flexible handles)

Instructor:
Joan Allen
Description:
You probably have some hyperkyposis- more forward curvature of your upper (thoracic) spine- than is ideal. Join the club. Enjoy this series (with before and after evaluation) that will magically reduce your hyperkyphosis. Repeat this often for best results!
Equipment Needed:
1/2 Dome, Block, Bolster, Foam Roll, Yellow Tube with handles
