Description: Upper Body Mobility + Stretch Sequence

Kristin

This sequence is perfect to do on its own to work on opening and mobilizing the upper body, or an amazing workout preparation before you crush your next upper body day!

- lie on the foam roller placing it at the base of the shoulder blades
- place your hands on your chest and begin to roll the length of your upper back 
- complete 10 pass throughs (1 is up and back)

Upper Body Foam Roll

- lie shoulder blades over foam roller 
- place hands behind the head 
- exhale lean back as you open elbows to the side, dropping your head in your hands 
- inhale to round forward, crunching your elbows toward your knees

T-spine mobility w/ foam roller

- begin gripping a band or strap in front of you, wider than shoulder distance 
- keep your torso engaged as you take the strap overhead and behind you 
- bring it back to the front 
- the wider the grip, the more space you’ll have to move front to back. 
- the narrower the grip, the more advanced this exercise becomes

Shoulder Flossing

- begin on hands and knees 
- lift one arm skywards and thread it under the opposite arm until the shoulder touches the ground 
- return to start 
- complete 8 repetitions on each side

Thread the Needle

- extend arms in front of you and cross wrists one of the other 
- make a fist 
- draw fists towards your body
- extend back out 
- complete 5 repetitions with each grip

Figure 8 Wrist mobility

- begin on hands and knees 
- inhale, melts the belly towards the ground, pull the heart through the upper arms, and shift the gaze slightly upwards.
- exhale, press the ground away, round through the spine, making a shape like a Halloween cat and gently tuck the chin towards the chest. 
- complete 30 seconds of cat/cow

Cat/Cow

- begin lying on the belly 
- extend one arm long off to the side (like a t-shape) 
- draw opposite leg of extended arm across the body behind you (like a scorpion tail) 
- return to belly and rotate to other side, adjusting the arms as you move from one side to the other

Scorpion Stretch

- begin in downward dog
- spinal wave all the way through to upward dog 
- press back to downward dog

Spinal Wave to Upward Dog

Fantastic on a day I didn’t want to move 🫶🏻

Clare

Floor Arms + Core Sculpt 💪🏼

This was such a good class to use my first time back at the gym that wasn't like a group class. Great if you're unsure where to start with weights. It's tough as you want it to be and you can really sweat haha the perfect confidence boost!

Holay that was good. At first I was a little confused but after the first couple minutes I got it. These dumbbell workouts are my absolute favourite right now. 💪🏼🤓

Caitlin

Under 30 Total Body w/ dumbbells

Just recently had a death in the family, and my anxiety has been eating away at me. This calmed my nervous system right down. Loved Morgan’s constant reminder to just feel all the sensations coming up instead of running away. Also very nice to start slow and then heat up, with lots of focus on the hips. My favorite teacher to come back to whenever I feel lost and need a solid soft practice

Aliya

I feel amazing after this class. It’s crazy how much tension we can hold in our hips.

This was amazing! I was feeling a bit sad myself today and feel better with all the tension released from my hips.

Lindsey

Megan

Katelyn

Pick me up yoga

Loving all the DB workouts! For hamstring curls, if you have neoprene covered dumbells, they won't stay upright while you're lowering to the mat because the end is slightly rounded so an alternative exercise might be nice.

Sweating my ass off and LOVING every minute of these workouts! Thank you Morgan!

Amber

Too Busy to Flow ⏰

It’s so amazing to me how much can happen in just 20 minutes. It has been a ROUGH week for me (body, mind, everything!) and I haven’t been on my mat in about a week. I felt so stiff and “rusty” at the beginning of this practice, and at the end I feel so much more like myself. Thank you thank you as always! 🫶🏻

Hannah

Loved it so much to flow from beginning to end 💜

5 Minutes to Feel Good

Hell yes!!! 💪🏼🔥 I figured I would only do three rounds and save the energy of that fourth round to get me through the rest of my work day. I probably should be able to perform walking around today at work 🙄😂 thank you for this!

Quad Killer 🌶️

Did not want to do yoga today. But when it came down to it, even my partner joined! Thanks for the sweat and the slow transitions.
