Compression Deep Dive

Core compression is important and helpful for every discipline we train, whether you're tucking under a bar, inverting on a vertical apparatus, or working on your handstand or even standing splits. Being able to bring your legs toward your torso and make your body small and tight seems like it ought to be simple, but it involves a lot of strength and active flexibility from a lot of your body!

In this workshop, we'll work through a bunch of drills that target different body parts that work together in compression, talk through some of the anatomy and logic behind them, and hopefully give you some ideas to bring back to your regular practice.

Prereqs: None

Equipment (we'll have extras, but bringing your own will help): resistance bands, 2 yoga blocks, lacrosse ball or peanut
