This class focuses on what I consider “the basics” of core stability and balance. Foundational exercises that challenge large and small muscle groups throughout the whole body in a way that is not only profoundly challenging if done correctly, but also easy to access for people at any fitness level. My hope is that once you have these exercises solid in your body you can take this stability to all of your other activities and workout routines. Building up these basics ensures you have a balanced foundation, a good connection with your body and your own abilities, and prevents strain and injury.

We typically work our way through all positions: on our back, all 4’s position, standing, side lying, and prone (on belly). So you do need to be able to move around a bit.

Equipment Needed: Mat and a foam roller (some rolling at the end) used in almost every class. We often use a yoga block (or something to squeeze between knees). And occasionally we use a Gertie ball (half deflated 8-10” ball).
