Upper Body
If you are used to using free weights or weight machines, then using resistance bands will feel a bit strange at first. The movement feels different with the resistance bands because of the constant tension you feel throughout. There is no rest time. You can be very creative with the band exercises. There are a […]…
Upper Body
Training the shoulder girdle can be a daunting task with clients. There is so much room for error when working with the arms due to their extreme mobility or lack thereof. Fine tuning and attention to detail is primary when working with this area of the body. The slightest rotation of the humerus can change […]…
Upper Body
Mermaid is such a great exercise whether it is on the mat, Reformer, Cadillac, or chair. The side bending of the spine gives the vertebrae a wonderful opportunity to yawn and expand from side to side. This is so helpful in encouraging spinal articulation in all ways. By using the foam roller here as a […]…

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. It can also be a very unstable structure because of this extreme mobility and range of motion. Shoulder injury is extremely common, due partly to the fact that the ball (the top of the upper arm) is much larger than the socket it glides within. […]…

Upper Body
Learning to focus on and work the shoulder area successfully can make a world of difference in how you look, feel, and perform. The shoulder area is one of the most anatomically complex areas of the body and is prone to injury and dysfunction. It is also an area that we often neglect to take […]…
Upper Body
Scapular stability is a must when performing arm exercises, but often the shoulder girdle is so locked up that it is hard to locate neutral shoulder placement. It is only by exploring the shoulder and surrounding tissues that clients will be able to understand where they are in space, then eventually how to best achieve […]…
Upper Body
Rowing on the reformer is a full body exercise, so finding a way to bring that work onto the mat is a wonderful addition to any class. Also, by playing with the weights in the hands as well as shortening the levers of the body (i.e. bending the knees) this challenge is accessible to many […]…
