Yoga For Athletes Part - II mUv Flexibility Series Our Signature Flexibility Series is an incredible way to assist dancers in deepening their flexibility and mobility at a safe and efficient rate. Our series incorporates effective ways to stretch for optimal results. Students will learn a wide variety of postures, stretches, sequences and techniques that address tension and tightness throughout their entire body. We teach students about the nervous system and how it regulates flexibility. Over the series, students will learn to work with it rather than against it and see a rapid increase in flexibility.
For more details on our products and services, please feel free to visit us at Dance teacher training, Dance conditioning & Yoga poses for athletes In each class we focus on a particular peak posture such as Super Splits, Dancer Pose (Scorpion) or Middle Splits. We will go through exercises and apply techniques designed to release muscular and fascial tension in the muscles that oppose the peak posture. For example, Front Splits and Super Splits are greatly opposed by the hip flexors rather than the hamstrings. At times, and depending on the position of your hip, you can have up to ten muscles opposing hip extension. We spend a fair amount of time stretching and releasing tension in the hip flexors prior to doing the splits. This allows the dancer to move into their Splits and Super Splits with ease and without causing unnecessary stress and strain to their hamstrings. FLEXIBILITY PLANS COVERED in the SERIES: • • • • •
