Training on the Cadillac: breaking down 2 classical exercises for accessibility and functionality
Inspired by the possibilities of movement found in the Ballet Stretches, we’re adding different pulls of resistance, some Gyrotonic-inspired movement and a focus on mobilizing the hips through extension, rotation and abduction.
