21m
Because we are a species that has to work in front of us, our posture inevitably will adapt to the position we spend the most time in. Which creates a pattern of forward head, tucked pelvis, shortened abdominals and weak/lengthened upperback muscles. All of this affects our pelvic health and pelvic alignment. These patterns can also cause headaches, upper back and neck pain and even pelvic pain as it pulls us into a rounded position.
Today's class supports the musculature that helps us become more upright! We do a little bit of everything: stretching, mindful stability and mobility.
You'll need: two blocks and we will use a chair/couch/stool at the end for our final resting pose.
