This class is designed around the use of our favorite prop, the Oov. You must try it to believe the outstanding affects this tool has on your body. Designed to decompress the spine, it allows you to breathe efficiently and make you feel how you’re compensating by toning the right muscles to keep you in balance.

Cost: $30

Prebooking is required. Click here to register.

This class is an excellent way to increase stability, range of motion, depth of breath, and more! The Oov is a feedback tool for your spine and nervous system, and it’s fun!

“The Oov is designed to lengthen and straighten your spine while you have to balance rotationally. You’re activating all the core stabilizers and your brain is also figuring out where your center is and re-patterning that.”
