Being Receiptive

1h 0m
In this class, we work on creating sustainable thoracic extension. So we will create movement of the spine where the ribs attach, in the upper back. In order to do so, we want to move from a place of strength, rather than collapse. We'll also be working to mobilize the space around the ribcage. And it will help to open up the front of the hips as well, to help establish a neutral pelvis. We want to move into backbends (thoracic extension) from a neutral position and have even curvature of the spine, rather than kinks anywhere (like the neck or low back). The whole idea being that when we're more open in this way, we can be more receptive to the world around us.

Anchor Down
In this class, we will use our connection to the floor to feel both rooted & light. We'll use the floor as our stable & reliable ally. When you feel more stable, you also can create more freedom, so we'll explore this idea in our movements.

Purpose Driven
In this class, we'll work on activating the glutes to create space in the front of the hips. We'll do this primarily with the knee(s) bent to really hone in on glue engagement while taking the hamstrings more out of the equation. Our glutes operate at their best when we move from a neutral pelvis...
