Squat Making Sense

Getting low to the ground and back up again is a vital sign of health. The concert of joints and soft tissues that enable or disable this functional movement are the primary focus of this class. Ankles, knees, hips and spine will all be challenged to give the low down on how to get down low. Benefits of this class include total body dynamic strengthening, increased ankle range of motion, improved glute strength, and amplified core strength.

After doing the SQUAT MAKING SENSE class, we recommend you also do the following class from the Library:

Pigeon – The Process is the Pose

In each class from MOVE, BREATHE, ROLL – Innovate Series Jill leaves the confines of the ‘rectangle cage’ and brings you into her creative lab where she picks one theme and alchemizes it to help you identify body blind spots. Each class is a whole-body session full of surprises and novel therapeutic approaches that address mobility, pain, strength and soft-tissue recovery. If you’re hungering for something a little different, these sequences will interject some spice into your own practice and spark your own creativity.

Props increase our own spatial awareness. When we use objects, like props, they enlarge our feeling perception and how this felt sense extends into other substrates. Your nervous system functionally adapts its sense of feeling and size into the objects we connect with. By exploring our body’s field of influence and exfluence into different props, we solidify our own sensory-motor maps and better our coordination in every aspect of life.
