Supercharge Your Splits with Jen Crane
January 19th 10:00-1:00p
with Jen Crane
This three hour workshop (two 90 minute sections with a 30 minute break in between) will give your flexibility practice a serious boost, and give you the tools necessary to prevent injuries while (safely) getting even bendier legs! There are many anatomical structures that can limit flexibility and mobility, and muscles are just one of them.
This workshop will teach you how to address ALL structures that limit flexibility, and how to integrate this into your training. We will discuss methods to address joint mobility, nerve tension, muscle tension, and ACTIVE flexibility issues surrounding front, back, and middle splits, and how to leverage various tools, such as the peanut and the superband. A large emphasis will be placed on active flexibility and end range control, and how to make sure that you’re supporting your flexibility with strong stabilizer muscles.
