In simple school gymnastics - The Bridge - is a versatile exercise that requires flexibility through the entire front line of the body, equally challenging every single muscle of the back as well. Bending backwards with coordination and confidence will challenge all of the body parts marked on the picture below. During the Project Bridge iCocoon classes you will learn functionally stretching every part of your body in many different ways. Each hour will truly address any and all of the muscular restrictions you may have....
These classes will:
- floss through the entire system
- sharpen your proprioception, body-awareness
- improve your skill transfer and orientation skills
- correct shoulder flexion, back and hip extension
- rehabilitate lower back pain
- improve T-spine extension
- improve your rack position needed in clean, push press or push jerk and absolutely anything that is going from the ground up into the rack and overhead
