In this class guided by Melissa McCabe, students will focus on understanding and improving balance and weight placement. The session begins with foundational work that targets the oblique muscles to support spinal alignment and postural control, setting up the body for success.


As the class progresses, students will explore how to shift weight smoothly and with control, with a focus on maintaining alignment through the lower limbs. Exercises like Lower Limb Control help them develop body awareness while transitioning from one leg to another.


The class works on static and dynamic balance, using exercises like Balance with Spot Training to develop an understanding of how to align key bony landmarks for efficient and safe balance. The class closes with mobility and transfer of weight exercises to reinforce smooth transitions and grounded movement.
