This class is all about building functional strength in our upper back muscles, focusing on the postural muscles and deep stabilizers (to avoid building bulky shoulders), which support our chest and help keep us nice and open rather than hunched over. We'll use the wall as our prop because it helps to create a deeper awareness of our body, aids in alignment, and is a useful tool for activating our upper back stabilizers.

pelvic floor release
Using breath, movement, and a prop (a soft-ish ball) we release our pelvic floor and related muscles in the body that become tight as a result of tension and stress (which creates gripping in the pelvic floor).
Props: a ball w/ a little give to it
-
active stretch
An active (rather than passive) stretch class meaning we'll use movements to get into our muscles in this class that's a great one to do before a workout or any time throughout your day to improve flexibility.
