2 Chains

About This Class

In "Two Chains," Desiree Crossman guides students through a fast-paced, full-body flow built around the concept of simultaneously activating the anterior chain (front-body muscles) and posterior chain (back-body muscles). The class opens in Chair Pose and moves into high plank variations with a unique knees-hover-then-elbows-bend push-up sequence that isolates and engages multiple muscle groups. Students then cycle through side planks with leg extensions and inner-thigh squeezes, crouching Down Dog for shoulder-blade opening, dynamic warrior-style lunges with airplane arms, and standing balances with kicking motions. The sequence is performed on both sides before finishing with a standing chair-twist series and a hovering tabletop hold. The instructor emphasizes neuromuscular connection, glute engagement, pelvic floor activation, and deliberate breathwork throughout, making this a strength-focused flow that also challenges stability, balance, and core endurance.
