From Flexibility to Mobility

A short introduction to what you can expect in these five classes.

The program moves from flexibility to mobility: range of motion that you can also control, for the hips, shoulders, spine, wrists, knees and ankles.

This class moves your shoulders through their full range of motion and teaches you to control that movement.

Lots of circular movement lets the head of the upper arm move without compensation from the spine, so you find true shoulder mobility. Level 1-2, with two blocks.

Our wrists are an essential part of our practice. They carry our body weight in many of the postures we practise every day.

This short class goes through different ways to strengthen the wrists and find mobility, especially in wrist extension, the shape they are in during Plank Pose. A good way to start any yoga practice and prepare your wrists before you bear weight. Level 1-2, with a block.

Let your spine move in all directions to keep it healthy and mobile. This class takes you into flexion, extension, side flexion and rotation.

We try to move each part of the spine separately from the next to find true movement, from the lower back all the way to the neck, feeling what each part can do. Level 1-2, no props needed.

Move through internal and external rotation of your hips, see where you are, and then learn to control that range.

This class is not about how far you can open your hips, but about how much control you can bring to the area. Hip stability gives you lots of support in your yoga practice. Level 1-2, with two blocks.

This class helps you understand how to support the movement of your knees and ankles. We focus on the rotation of the tibia, the shin bone, and the ankle to find true mobility in those areas.

A good way to prepare for squats, Malasana, or any weight bearing work with the knees. As always, listen to your body if there is pain, and move mindfully. Level 1-2, no props needed.
