Dynamic Flexibility with Lauren Matters

Motion plus flexibility equals dynamic flexibility. When did you last pull a muscle while sitting still? Probably never. Muscles and joints are most at risk in motion, and that is where strength and flexibility need to work together.

Flexibility without muscle support leaves you vulnerable, and strength often hits a wall because of stiffness. This series builds both, to find new depth by building, not reaching:

The classes are 30 to 60 minutes, level 1-3, with blocks and a strap.

Dirt Off Your Shoulder

Dynamic Flexibility: Shoulders

And the award for most requested focus area in yoga classes goes to: shoulders. This class opens all sides of the scapula (shoulder blade) and the surrounding areas through active stretching.

Stress and work make our bodies tense. So let's open up, strengthen and get our bodies ready for backbends. Together we get grounded and relax. Level 1-2, with blocks and a strap.

Bend So You Don't Break

Dynamic Flexibility: Back and Spine

Perhaps the most important area to have dynamic flexibility, backbends need both strength and openness. Whether you want to deepen your backbend or strengthen your back, this class balances both so your back stays strong and limber.

During our backbends we engage the entire body. Many of us compensate with the lower back in our openings. This time we do it right. Level 2-3, with blocks.
