Roll a Joint

About This Class

In this 11-minute dynamic flow, Desiree guides students through a full-body joint mobilization sequence aptly named "Roll a Joint." Starting seated with neck rolls and wrist circles, the class progresses through detailed hand and finger work (including a butterfly thumb stretch targeting the retinaculum), shoulder figure-eights addressing both the glenohumeral and acromiohumeral joints, and a kneeling series that covers the plantar fascia, ankles, hips (fire hydrant movements targeting the acetabulum and femoral head), and the full spinal curl-and-extend. Each joint is visited with slow, intentional, passive movement rather than aggressive stretching, making this class ideal for those dealing with stiffness from sitting, desk posture, tight hips, or general morning stiffness. A block and blanket are offered as optional props for comfort.
