20 Minute Upper-Body and Core Foam Rolling

When we grab a foam roller we automatically go for the lower body, right?

Pre or Post Workout Lower Body Foam Rolling Session

How could rubbing a piece of foam on your leg do so much good? Well, foam rolling is a form of self-myofascial release and helps improve your muscles’ range of motion, boost blood circulation, and break down tightness or knots in your muscles… Nice! Plus, it’s a perfect way to begin or end your workouts.

This 15 minute foam rolling session for your legs will focus on your quads, hamstrings, hips, glutes, and lower back. So grab your foam roller (or a small ball if you do not have one) and let’s give our muscles some love and respect. Let’s roll.

10 Minute Back and Upper-Body Stretch

This quick, yet effective, upper-body release will open up the chest, elongate the neck and back, and unburden the shoulders. It’s perfect for those that are tight from lifting weights, those who sit for long periods of time (think desk job), as well as for those of you that might spend some time hunched over your bike. 🙂 No excuses, it’s 10 minutes! Take care of you.

It’s a comprehensive 12 minute stretch and restore that ANY BODY can actually do and not feel inept. Variations are shown for every level. And, the super cool thing is… I’m not the most advanced, so you’ll feel really good about yourself. I target hips, legs and the lower back to loosen you up and just flat out make you feel amazing. Do it after a workout or just whenever you need it. Enjoy team!

Stretch & Restore with Miriam

In this gravity and wall inspired stretch class, we will facilitate deep hip, glute, back, and hamstring stretching. We start on our back with our legs and buns flush to the wall. Ahhh… it feels awesome. The wall serves as a nurturing and barrier breaking tool, allowing us to work with range of motion habits. I encourage you to try to relax in to each pose as you feel that solid wall support. Of course we’ll work in some more traditional feel good stretches as well, and as always, modifications are encouraged to suit your personal body needs. Time to stretch!
