59 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: 1 Blanket + Sliding floor surface

Ahhhh...this class will leave you feeling like you have received high-quality bodywork from a therapist but in this case, the therapist is you! Your level of effort is what makes this one count. We start at the toes and eventually work our way up to the head and neck. The blanket is used in a variety of ways but mostly to create a sliding surface to help distinguish between the moving parts and the still parts. The use of the blanket also makes a lot of our movements task-oriented which sneakily encourages more precision while getting us out of our heads. Furthermore, the blanket adds resistance for us to overcome which requires more force/strength making subtle movements more challenging

Cautions: brief kneeling, wrist and shoulder loading
