Level 2 - Pace: Slow
Join Ilaria and her friend Danielle O’Connell for a mat workout that enhances the connection between the forearms, wrists, and shoulders. This session focuses on building awareness of upper body alignment and strength, emphasizing how the position of the hands and wrists is directly influenced by the shoulders—their proximal joint.
While stabilizing the shoulder muscles is crucial, true upper-body strength also requires a strong, functional connection down to the hands. This is especially important as we age, helping to maintain grip strength for daily activities like grabbing, pulling, and lifting.
Through mindful exercises, you’ll improve alignment, enhance stability, and reinforce the essential link between your hands and shoulders—preparing you to move with greater control and confidence in any activity. Let’s get started!
