There are many benefits to foam rolling including relieving muscle pain (even though it can be intense while rolling!) and easing tension. It may even help with inflammation. While most of us need it on a regular basis, the hustle and bustle of the season makes this a great class for this time of year. Once you roll and stretch the upper back, hips, and glutes, the prayers and meditation will have you contemplating silence during the Advent Season.

This 12-minute class uses light and medium weights for your arms and shoulders (suggested: 5 - 10 lbs). You can start with no weights and work up, or even incorporate heavier weights if you have been doing resistance training for a while. Betsy stretches with you at the end, but try adding a Pietra Fitness class in to recover well. Once you feel comfortable with this class, try adding heavier weights.

It is crucial to stretch after a workout to prevent muscle soreness and injury and should be an essential part of your well-balanced workout routine. So, whether you have just finished your workout or you are feeling particularly tight, take off your shoes, roll out your mat, and get ready to feel amazing. You may want to have an optional block and blanket/pillow ready. The meditation will have you thinking about how we can change the world by being bearers of gratitude.

This class will move your whole body through a series of exercises that will have you standing, sitting, lying on your stomach, and lying on your back, all while moving gently, intentionally, and calmly.
