NEW EDITION!
Learn how to incorporate this multi-faceted and useful tool, the Theraband into a mat class; for a fun and challenging workout! This course offers many different ways to use the Theraband during a classical Intermediate/Advanced Mat class. We will go over multiple ways to use the band for each exercise: we will show you how to apply the Theraband to give support and to create awareness, we will demonstrate how to use the band as a tool to challenge by adding resistance to the mat class, and finally we will give you some tips on how to take some exercises to another level. Additional exercises, beyond the mat repertoire, are also part of this workshop.
