Upper Quarter: Building Strength & Balance in the Upper Back, Neck, Shoulders & Thoracic Spine - Part I

Category:  Pilates

INSTRUCTOR:   Jillian Hessel

Class Description: Due to the repetitive stress & relative inactivity of modern life, many Pilates clients have neck, thoracic spine or shoulder problems. We will examine many different exercise modalities both on & off classic Pilates equipment. In Part I we will have a brief overview of postural alignment. Jillian will present her BEAM Fundamentals, which focus on enhancing client awareness of proper body placement, as well as joint and muscle mobility of the upper quarter. Mats, foam rollers and exercise bands will be used during this portion of the presentation. For Part II, see TP548
