In this masterclass, Miranda will take you through the Classical Standing Arm Weight Series. Many wonder what working with 2lb weights can really achieve…however, you will be surprised with the challenges this series can provide when done correctly! It not only challenges your posture and the deep core muscles of the spine, but is also very effective in rectifying shoulder, elbow and wrist problems. The series is traditionally used as an ending to a class but can also be very useful for those who find they cannot get down on the mat.
