Sometimes a workout doesn't have to be strenuous to be effective.
Start with a theraband warmup, transition into Ashtanga Yoga core work synced with your breath, then deepen flexibility through straddle stretches and spinal undulations. We wrap up with focused release exercises for your quads and hip flexors.
A rather incredible class:
Face, neck and shoulder massage on the Galileo, a small amount of standing strengthening for the legs, and then upper back massage to conclude. Fabulous for releasing shoulder, head and neck tension.
This gentle exploration of breath and opening of the channels along the spine is a continuation of the lessons learned in the Anatomy Lab.
Taking the time to increase awareness within the deeper layers of our tissue, feeling organ placement and movement, and expanding our capacity to mobilize the innermost parts of our being.
Class ends with deep rest at the lower frequencies - harnessing the bi-lateral stimulation of the plate to assist in a shift in consciousness. If time permits, have a guided meditation or hypnosis script ready to play following the workout and enjoy an enhanced immersive experience.
This Galileo class was designed to improve balance and proprioception without overloading the joints.
Using a pair of socks and a couch cushion as props, students are guided through a standing warmup with emphasis on the lower body and spinal mobility through upper body positioning. Closed chain exercises using the minimal weight of a pair of socks are added to facilitate the arm's connection into the core, followed with balancing exercises off the machine.
Finally, dynamic stretching for the hips, and more spinal mobilizations close this intelligent, challenging yet gentle class.
This class blends self massage and fascial unwinding with strengthening activation for the front and back lines of the legs.
Ending with a fantastic abdominal sequence that connects the fascial chains from the feet all the way up through the torso, your body will reset it's tension and strength in this gentle, yet relentlessly focused lass.
Stall bars, a soft and firm half roller and bolster are required.

•a long foam roller ( round)
• a stiff half roller ( or rolled up yoga mat or towel)
• two yoga blocks, ideally one foam and one cork
Global movement class with awakening exercises for the hands and feet, ground flow movement and IT band massage.

Galileo class with the intention of deeply understanding the positioning of the ELDOA L-5. This exercise accesses myo-fascial chains of tension from the upper and lower body to decompress the L4/5 junction, which is one of the most important fulcrums in the body.
The opportunity to deeply connect our fascial slings through the lens of the L4/5 connection provides us with an unrelenting narrative around joint decompression. The shift in focus brings us far deeper inside our practice than usual, with extraordinary results.
