NEW BARRE & SLING!

FUNCTIONAL SLING

Here we use the sling to explore functional movement patterns. Building strength for our gait / sit-to-stand / stair walking & more. The sling physically elongates our legs and facilitates spinal decompression. Sometimes when we feel this sensation with tangible stimulation, such as using this harness sling; we can more easily recreate the action later, without the prop.

I offer explanations and suggestions for practicing with any sling. Here I’m using both the Elements Harness Sling and Elements Wide Sling. I’ve attached it to the top rail of my apparatus with Elements Cuffs for Bars.

BARRE BAND

The band/loop is a great way to integrate the upper body more strongly in a barre workout. Also, effectively organises and strengthens the shoulder girdle and mid back. Later in this practice, we explore waves, with some splendid spinal traction. Plus, some spicy single leg variations, to facilitate glute and hip flexor strength.
