Welcome to Class 9! Guided by Pearl, this session continues building on the strength, mobility, and alignment foundations developed in Class 8. Class 9 places special emphasis on core engagement, alignment refinement, and preparation for more advanced movements like renversé.
Key areas of focus include:
Strengthening the core through dynamic and controlled exercises such as "Bicycle with Toe Taps."
Enhancing alignment and mobility with hip flexor and pike-focused exercises.
Refining the fluidity and balance of renversé movements.
Concluding with stretches to lengthen muscles and restore flexibility.
Tips:
Remind students to activate their core and keep their shoulders relaxed during "Renversé Preparation" for smoother transitions and greater stability.
For the "Pike with Resistance," demonstrate how to engage the lower abdominal muscles.
