Initial Assessment Prep
The initial assessment is a crucial first step in your flexibility and mobility journey. This assessment helps you establish a baseline, giving you a clear picture of your starting point so you can measure your progress throughout the course.
-
Assessment: Forward Fold
The Forward Fold Assessment measures your starting level of hamstring, lower back, and hip flexibility. At this stage, focus on maintaining proper form rather than depth.
-
Assessment: Squat
The Squat Assessment helps evaluate your lower body flexibility, stability, and range of motion. Take note of how deep you can squat, whether your heels stay down, and if you experience any tightness in your hips or ankles. This initial photo will serve as your reference point for tracking improvements in mobility and posture.
-
Assessment: Wheel
The Wheel Assessment measures spinal, shoulder, and hip flexibility. Whether you're performing a small backbend or a full wheel pose, take note of your range of motion, comfort level, and ability to maintain form. This first photo will serve as your baseline to track improvements in spinal mobility.
