I’ve got another mobility class for you! If you missed the last one focused on shoulders, check it out HERE. Today we’ll focus on hip mobility, strengthening through the glutes as we do.
If you love this type of work, you can get access to more mobility classes by becoming a Patreon member. Patreon members not only get additional classes, but a monthly workout calendar. It’s $9.99/month with no commitment.
Hip Mobility + Glutes Class
We’ll pretty much flow from one hip mobility sequence to the next, moving continuously through the class. At the end, however, we’ll hold a few static stretch ..read more

This lower body strength circuits class requires a single heavy weight (dumbbell or kettlebell will work) and an optional resistance band loop. Class is 45 minutes long and, as always, includes a guided warm up and cool down. No jumping, and easy to modify (just go lighter with the weight). This is a great one for all!
If you enjoy class, I have an upper body version that’ll be available on Patreon this week.

Let’s show our shoulders some love with this 22-minute shoulder mobility workout class. It’s great for everyone, but especially if you’ve been spending increased time sitting at a desk or are otherwise feeling tight and stiff through your upper body. Maybe try it as a lunchtime work break!
You could also use it as the warm up/first half of an upper body strength workout. Just skip the static stretch at the end if you do.
If you enjoy class, you can get access to more mobility videos by becoming a Patreon member. Not only will you get additional workout classes to the ones I post publicly to Y ..read more

And you know the drill! If you want more classes like this, they’re available to Patreon members.

I’m so excited for you all to try this Pilates Slide class!!! It’s a combination of my years of experience teaching group megaformer classes and my Pilates mat training. I’ve wanted to put together classes like this for a while, and have been (im)patiently waiting to complete my Mat course before doing so.
If you enjoyed the Sculpt & Slide class I shared in the spring, you’ll love this. It’s similar but without the light weights, and a little more of a Pilates feel. Also I will have Pilates Slide classes that incorporate light hand weights, resistance bands, and other props in the future ..read more

This towel mini flows class uses the same structure as the resistance band mini flows class I shared last month. Instead of a resistance band, however, we’ll use a towel as a prop between our thighs and as a slider. The focus of this class will be inner thighs, with work for our glutes and obliques as well.
If you love class, you can get more by becoming a Patreon member! I have another Towel Mini Flows class up there now that’s also focused on inner thighs and stabilizing through the knees.
