Send Me to the Moon

About This Class

Led by Rudy Mettia, "Send Me to the Moon" is an athletic, full-body flow class with a strong emphasis on the lower body and hips. The class opens in child's pose with intention-setting and moves through progressively challenging sequences: downward dog warm-ups, sun salutations, crescent lunge "sprints," Warrior Two, side angle, half moon, twisting triangle, eagle, and third warrior balance work. Hip-opening deep lunges and pigeon pose provide deliberate tension-and-release moments, while seated forward folds, cross-legged twists, and a supine leg-lift core sequence round out the practice. Rudy weaves in coaching on fast-twitch muscle fiber, quadricep longevity research, and the philosophy of equanimity in tension and release. The class closes with happy baby, supine twists, optional shoulder stand or bridge, and Savasana. Shoulder injuries and low back concerns are explicitly flagged with modifications offered throughout.
