FOCUS :   

NOTE: If you don’t have the tower, you can still take this class! Read below under equipment.👇🏼

Drop into some deep hip stretches, gentle mobility work and hamstring stretches in this class while understanding more what might be the schematic of your body if you suffer from tight hips or low back. Additionally, we’ll do some light strengthening work for our upper back to help us lift up and out of our hips, sit and stand taller and breathe better.

👉🏼Today’s class is informative and a good class for a slow pace day.

This is a new series which focuses on exercises that will integrally improve your posture with the goal in mind to sit and stand taller, but not just that, to do so with greater ease. Additionally, better posture will alleviate undue tensions, aches and pains; it will help you live and move in a more ideal alignment so your joints are happier; it will also help you move with greater ease and efficiency in all your endeavors. Better posture enables our body to better deliver fresh oxygen and blood to tissues and vitals enabling us to feel more energy, less fatigue, contributing to better longevity. The benefits are numerous and this program will help you work towards seeing these improvements in your own body.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED :     

Reformer with tower. You can also follow this class without the tower, I will make mention of how to modify and do so as we go so don’t rule it out if you don’t have the tower!

CLASS LEVEL :     

ALL levels.

CLASS FLOW :   

Class is slow and mindful today. You may want to sit into certain stretches longer or you may prefer to move ahead a little quicker into our upper back strengthening portion, up to you, you choose. We’ll start with both front and back of leg stretches to open the hips and then move into supported hip circles and other work to release tension for those of us who carry tension and stress in the hips. Then we’ll move into some seated upper and mid back strengthening exercises as well as bring in rotation and a bit of extension.

GOALS :     

Move through exercises that target our postural muscles. Focus on strengthening the deeper set of muscles which hold up our spines and keep our joints healthy and mobile. Specifically focus on posterior chain strength (the back of the body) to counteract the forward pulling force of daily activities (phones, computers, screens and more) that creates imbalance between our front and back sides often creating poor posture. Always keep the hips and pelvis strong, mobile and flexible for a healthy low back and foundation to the spine and legs below. Learn the purpose and focus of certain exercises. Empower you to feel healthier, stronger, happier and more flexible in your own body.
