and Shoulder Mobility Flexibility

•  The class focuses on addressing shoulder instability, weakness, or pain through a combination of Pilates, yoga, and corrective exercises.
•  Props such as chairs, blocks, pillows, tennis balls, and straps are used throughout the practice.
• Initial exercises involve lying on a diagonal surface (like a chair or bench) to engage the core and stabilize the shoulders.
• Movements include lifting and lowering the arms while focusing on core engagement and shoulder blade stabilization.
• I demonstrate variations for those with different flexibility levels, such as using a bolster or modifying the position.
• Additional exercises incorporate weightlifting motions with light weights or improvised items like oranges.
• Stretching exercises are interspersed throughout the routine to promote flexibility and release tension in the shoulders.
• The practice also includes somatic movements to increase body awareness and address holding patterns.
• The session concludes with a series of stretches and movements aimed at enhancing shoulder strength, stability, and mobility.
