WHAT IS MOBILITY?

Mobility is the range of uninhibited at the joints. In these classes, we will work at the end-range of our mobility to expand this range of mobility and build strength to protect our joints and prevent future injuries. You can read more about mobility in this blog post.

Are your classes good for beginners?

Unless labeled otherwise, yes! Most of the exercises are accessible, it'll just be a matter of how deep you go into a stretch. I'll also provide modifications for more complex exercises.

Will these classes relieve my joint pain?

Under many circumstances, yes, if you are consistent - no single-class miracles, unfortunately. These classes however are not a substitute for medical advice. If you have concerns, definitely talk to your doctor!

Do you check form?

In the regular group classes no. I do, however, provide lots of cues. I'll tell you what to squeeze, which muscles you should feel working, which muscles you should feel being stretched, how to engage your core, etc. I also repeat it while we do the exercises so we constantly re adjust our form back to where it needs to be. Eventually I will have small group classes where I will be watching each student and checking form. Sign-up for our newsletter to get the announcement straight to your inbox.

Do I need equipment?

Short answer is no. Sometimes we may enhance the class with equipment to help us get further into our end-range, but I will provide alternatives that don't require equipment. Sometimes you can also use common house hold items. Stack of books = yoga blocks Belt or scarf = yoga strap Full water bottles = light dumbbells You get the idea!

What should I wear to class?

I usually like to weare leggings or shorts and a tank top. Generally what you wear to the gym, should be good for these classes. Keep in mind that we are moving to our end ranges of motion, so we don't want clothes that restrict our movement.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE FLEXIBILITY

Active flexibility uses strength in one muscle to stretch the opposing muscle while passive flexibility uses an external force like a partner, band, or gravity to stretch the muscles. You can read more about the differences in this blog post.

Why am I still not flexible? I'm trying!

You're not alone in this sentiment. I have found in my own practice and while helping others that a change in focus was most beneficial. People tend to hold passive stretches for extended periods as their main flexibility training. While passive stretching has it's place, it is more valuable to focus on strengthening the muscles as you stretch, rather than just relaxing them. It's also important to hone in on the muscle being stretched and isolate it. People have a tendency of compensating for a lack of range in one body part with movement in a different body part (i.e., curling your back while you reach for your toes because your hamstrings are tight). Join a class to learn how to fix your form and stretch more effectively!

Are these classes like yoga classes?

Not quite. These classes will feel more like strength training classes with a deep focus on form and isolating movements to focus on expanding our mobility and flexibility actively. That being said, some exercises will look like yoga exercises/poses and provide a great stretch!

What if i miss a class?

Don't you worry! Everyone who signs up, gets the recording and gets to keep it FOREVER!
