Back Care and Core Conditioning 24
Back Care & Core Conditioning
 
*This class is intended for individuals comfortable with or interested in stretching and exercising from the floor on an exercise mat.*  

The therapeutic movements, exercises and stretches introduced in this class are designed to build core and back strength along with hip mobility and hamstring/lower extremity flexibility.  The class includes passive and active stretching sequences in addition to low-impact isometric and body weight resistance exercises.  

*Aside from building muscular strength and flexibility, an additional benefit to the class is that it affords the student the opportunity to learn and build confidence on how to get down and up from the floor safely. This class compliments the "Balance & Conditioning" class well.

A few items that would be beneficial to bring to class: something to support your head ie a blanket or pillow, a Stretch/Yoga Strap or something that would serve that purpose and a yoga mat.
