Stable Spine

Class 1 guides you through the process of mobilizing major joints, such as the shoulders and hips, while ensuring the spine remains in a stable position with ample support from the mat.

Class 2 moves on to practicing movements while in different positions, such as sitting and standing. As there is less support from the mat, it can be more difficult to maintain a neutral spine in these new positions.

In classes 3 we focus on developing and sustaining good posture through a series of challenging balance exercises. As balance exercises require standing on a smaller surface area, it will be more difficult to maintain a neutral spine position. After practicing these classes, you may find that your everyday movements off the mat become more stable.
