Whether you're at your desk for work, on a zoom call, or just on the couch, injecting some movement will be very important. Staying seated for long periods of time does our bodies no favors and we end up stiff, tight, and achey. So if you're forced to spend a lot of time in a seated position, at least you can throw on this quick class and butter yourself up - because motion is lotion for our joints. This class is also appropriate for those who might struggle to get down on the floor.

The class is rather low intensity so it can be done throughout the day multiple times if desired.

I hope you enjoy it!

Short Class 30: Seated Mobility

A mobility class for when you’re seated in a plane or as a passenger in the car. Or for anyone who just needs a simple mobility routine from a seated position!

Equipment Needed: Just your chair seat.

This class was designed for those who are on a plane or in the car seat (as a passenger). We do several different mobility exercises to help butter you up while having to be seated for a period of time, because there is nothing worse than getting off a flight or out of a car after a long drive and feeling stiff & tight. 

So if you're forced to spend a lot of time in a seated position, at least you can throw on this quick class and butter yourself up - because motion is lotion for our body. This class is also appropriate for those who might struggle to get down on the floor, want to do mobility at their desk, or just want a low intensity seated class.

Since the class is rather low intensity it can be done multiple times if desired. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Short Class 91: Seated Mobility (Airplane/Car appropriate)

In this class we’ll do Upper Body CARs while sitting in a chair 

No equipment needed, just your chair!

This is a nice option for anyone who gets overly fatigued doing the standing CARs, or for anyone who wants to do CARs from their desk during a mini break from their workflow.

Reminder to never push through any pain. Back out of any range of motion that creates pain, bypassing those areas, and then continuing through the rest of the motion.

I hope you enjoy this seated variation!

Short Class 131: Upper Body CARs (seated)

In this class we’ll do Lower Body CARs while sitting in a chair 

No equipment needed, just your chair!

This is a nice option for anyone who can’t get on the floor due to physical or environmental limitations, or for anyone who wants to do CARs from their desk during a mini break from their workflow.

Reminder to never push through any pain. Back out of any range of motion that creates pain, bypassing those areas, and then continuing through the rest of the motion.

I hope you find this class helpful!

Short Class 132: Lower Body CARs (seated)

This is a very low intensity and gentle mobility class.

No equipment needed.

This is a good class for anyone who needs a lightened restorative type session, or for those who have bigger movement limitations and need to start off their mobility journey with something more simple and basic. We do all of the movements standing up, so this can be a good routine for those who struggle to get down on the floor as well.

Obviously with a class of this nature we’re not necessarily expanding range of motion and strengthening ranges of motion. We’re more-so just moving through the ranges of motion we already have and circulating blood (which is still important). There is always a time and place for gentle type training and this class was created to provide that option for those times where we just need something lighter.

I hope you felt good after this class!
