Down Dog to Bear

Hi everyone,

Matt here, wishing you well. I made this little teaser video for you, consider it our playful challenge of the week.

You can decide to do it with your kids, or not, but I know you like a good challenge so try it out with the extra weight.

We’ll be moving in and out of down dog into more dynamic and playful expressions like bear and the bear press. Both are great exercises to build shoulder strength, locomotion, and flexibility in the legs. Just a reminder, have fun with this, practice along with me in the video if you can’t make it to class, and listen to your body. When you’ve had enough, take a break, move around, and play some more. When you notice yourself forcing the movements to try and get somewhere fast, slow it down, breathe and remind yourself why you’re practicing all this in the first place.

One last thing, rather than just watch the video, move along with me. See you soon.

-Matt
