Outline of the weekly Stretching and Mobility Classes:

• Warm-up (crossfit members are recommended to do the daily WOD prior to STClasses and non-members are encouraged to arrive 15 min earlier to warm-up)
• Exercises performed during these classes are solo partial poses and partner-assisted stretching exercises view basic examples here

During Stretching Classes we are using more advanced forms of posture and flexibility drills, integrated-preventative, restorative and therapeutic forms of exercises. They will focus on the major movements of the spine (flexion, extension and rotation), of the hip joint (extension, flexion and abduction), the latter really being about the quadriceps, hip flexors, hamstrings, buttocks and hip adductor muscles. A wide variety of mobility drills will be continually added to inspire a solid self care and maintenance routine.
