Warm-Up with Joelle

This lyrical warm-up opens with a modified sun salutation to get the blood moving. Strength and stretch work follows, ready for jazz or contemporary class.

Treat the warm-up as the place to correct your technique. Check which muscles you are using. Look for tension in your hands and face.

The exercises have jobs. Mountain climbers in a plank find the lower stomach that holds a passé up for pirouettes. Floor leg work, lunges, black swan and a plié and balance sequence at the end each connect to what you do standing. The lats anchor everything.
