Short Class 40: Scapula Pro/Ret/Dep (intermediate+)
5 classes per week
•
46m
This is an advanced class for Scapular Protraction, Retraction, and Depression.
Equipment Needed: Yoga Blocks, a stick, and a stretching band. Weights are optional.
This class is great for anyone looking to advance their scapula work, and this is our first class that targets 3 different PAILs/RAILs bases just for the scapula.
We’ll do 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs and Christa uses weights for certain drills in the class, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. While this is labeled an advanced class, you can also regress the session by doing one less round of PAILs/RAILs, or lowering the intensity during PAILs/RAILs and other movements, and opting out of using the weights when the time comes. As always, progressive overload is key so build up your capacity gradually.
Hope you enjoy these sweet buttery scap gains!
