Yoga Block Party: Building Strength and Flexibility (formerly Block Party)

I remember a time when a block was handed to me because I couldn’t reach the floor in a forward bend. This class views blocks as building blocks rather than an object that blockades your ego. Challenge every part of your body to turn a corner and let’s block steady.

After doing the Yoga Block Party: Building Strength and Flexibility class, we recommend you also do the following class from the Library:

• Tree Pose: Rooted From The Ground Up

The reason I’m pairing TREE POSE class with YOGA BLOCK PARTY is because the use of the block in many of the classes places you on one point of contact with the ground, similar to standing on one limb in Tree. The preparations and rollouts in the Tree class will make you even more comfortable with using the block as a new and welcome asymmetrical appendage.

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.
