Performing movements correctly and safely is a very important part of working out. Good form reduces the likelihood of getting injured, supports oxygen flow, and helps you build consistency in your practice. This week’s schedule is designed with a mix of classes and workshops that focus on teaching correct technique so you can get the most out of your workouts.
