So, when the triceps are working, they help create needed stability in both the arms and shoulders. Enjoy this fun class!

What this will mean is that your more proximal or postural muscles are forced to fire to help stabilize your b...

Mid-Thoracic Freedom
In this class, we work on creating space particularly in the mid-back. The thoracic part of the spine is where the ribs connect onto the spine in the mid and upper back. This area tends to get tighter and more locked down with age and lack of movement. So, we'll work to reverse those effects.
