Learn tension and relaxation techniques and move your body in isolated and coordinated ways with the basics. Explore the requisites of strength and maintain safe ranges of motion for successful and strong participation in class.
You don’t need weight yet.
Slow down and improve your body awareness and bodyweight strength skills.
From the tips of your toes to the top of your head, start with the bodyweight basics for simple ways to add strength to your stretching routine. Improve your body awareness and satisfy the requirements for the stability of joints and the mobility of others. Enhance your core strength and capacity for movement with a simple ten minute routine then refine with the episodes below.
Standing tall or sitting down, manipulate your ankles while stabilizing the lower limb. Train the feet to accept tension to improve mobility, strength and relaxation after creating room in our ankles.
Narrow, from first, and then wider from sumo or second, pull yourself down, and press yourself up. Learn simple tension techniques in the squat to maintain your ranges of motion and apply tension to increase your functional strength in any task.
With a balance aid at your side, stand in the flamingo pose, and pry the hips open, then pull them back in. Press into the floor to stay tall and practice abduction and adduction to increase the stability on your standing leg, while enhancing mobility of the ball-and-socket of the hip of the elevated leg.
Learn hinging techniques before you start to kettlebell swing, and practice core strength by articulating movement at each joint of the spine. Practice skills that make you taught like a rope under tension, and enhance the mobility across your entire spine to undulate like a whip. Start slow, stay strong and segment the spine for core strength and control.
Where the head goes, the body will follow — learn to coordinate movements at the C and T spine for stability and mobility. Movements up top require core stability from the body parts below. Learn to rotate the ribcage about the hips and explore movements unique to the t-spine.
Slide the shoulder blades up and down the rib cage, then forwards and back. Stabilize the hands to isolate the movements of the blade. Build relationships between these unique positions to enhance mobility of the shoulder and improve your upper body strength.
Move your head, and stabilize the neck. Relieve tight shoulders and stiff necks by adding strength to your ranges of motion with simple movements for the c-spine and head. Start with the basics and pattern the figure 8 to improve your coordination and create room for efficient movements in all directions.
Take the shoulders and arms through gentle ranges of motion and re-establish the flow of upper body movements with the arm curl series. Practice with the two hand grip variations and groove your movements with coordination and strength.
