Warm-ups are extremely important! Each of our classes go through generic and specific movements to make sure we are prepared for the day. (Like our last slide 😉)
These ensure we stay as healthy as possible and get us primed to move through all of our positions we need to hit — and range of motion!
(Pickin’ on the millennials on this one)
