Short Class 66: Scapular Protraction
4 classes per week
•
29m
Single joint focus class for Scapular Protraction
Equipement needed: Yoga blocks.
Protraction is a range that we typically rest in often in our daily lives - at the desk, on the couch, etc. Most have solid passive range of motion here because of that, but they lack the active strength and control aspect. Protraction is particularly important for pressing/pushing motions. Think chest press, pushups, bench press, and other pressing movements. A healthy scapula is one that moves well in all ranges of motion, and that plays a pivotal role in the health of our shoulders.
We will work 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our Protraction base, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. If 3 rounds feels like too much, stick to just 2 rounds and slowly build up - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.
Hope you feel buttered up after this class!
