Squat-ly Crew (3rd July)
Kinstretch On-Demand
•
49m
In this class, we start to explore what we need to maximise our bilateral squat motion. We work some hip, knee and ankle internal rotation from a pseudo-squat position to understand and feel how important internal rotation at these joints are for creating force. And then we hit some ankle eversion and dorsiflexion, some hip and knee flexion and tie it all together with some deep squat work.

Equipment:
yoga block x 2 (OR foam roller and a book)
hand towel
elevated surface (ideally low enough so when you sit on it your knees are in line or above your hip line)

We combined breathwork (helping us get our rib cage in a nicer position) with shoulder rotation work and finally shoulder f...
