This class focused on improving range of motion and capacity and the wrists and ankles; small joints that do a LOT! We focused on extension at the wrists and some ankle eversion (lengthening on the inside of the foot to assist with supination and dorsiflexion).
Finally, we finished up with some passive stretching for straight leg hip flexion (hamstrings) with some breathing and light PAILs as a bottom up way to down regulate the nervous system and shift in to a more parasympathetic state (rest and digest).
Equipment needed:
rolled up handtowel
tennis ball (or something to squeeze in your fist)
yoga block

The Forbidden Glute (8th May)
In this class we focused on building hip extension range of motion and strength/control so that we could better use it during the gait cycle and in exercises such as split squats. We also trained some big toe dorsiflexion as it is also heavily involved in being able to access hip extension proper...
