mobility – From Head To Toe Academy

Hips and Back Mobility Flow

A lovely shorter class for you to use as a stand alone session or before practice and training. Enjoy it 😉

Inner thigh flexibility. Working towards a Pancake split.

Many of you requested this class, so here it is 🙂 Check out the quick inner thigh flexibility assessment first.

Finding more range of motion in the inner thigh region can certainly help an Irish dancer to enhance both turnout, extensions and alignment of the hips.

Challenge yourself with this pancake splits class, popping it into your routine 2-3x a week!

*Adding the dynamic lateral lunge into your warm up for dance practice can also be useful.

*NEW Dynamic Warm Up & Glute activation

In light of our new mobility month kicking off this April 2023 I decided to record for you a new dynamic warm up routine. Teachers feel free to use it in your classes! And dancers can use it for pre comp prep and really however you wish. Listen to the cues given – and if you’ve any questions at all, ask away! You’ll need a mini band or theraband for the glute activations.

Happy hips flow :)

As requested – a lovely short sequence, paring mindfulness the breath and some beautiful hip movements.. Give your body the gift of this short class today x

Hip Flexor Flow with Chloey x

In this practice we challenge the hip flexors through both range of motion and strength at that end range. Both important aspects of improving our dance skills. Remember to consistently practice your deep breathing as that also plays a role in the tension we hold in our body.
