43m
This restorative class will leave you feeling incredibly energized and relaxed as we learn how to breathe deeply and mindfully into the deepest lobes of your lungs. You will learn a series of exercises to mobilize your thoracic spine in an effort to alleviate chronic neck and shoulder tension, among many other benefits. The use of a Mini Stability Ball or Squishy Ball is recommended, but can easily be substituted with a foam roller, yoga bolster or a thickly rolled up bath towel.
