This class with Mark takes you through a series of exercises and adaptations which are suitable for clients with hypermobility. These exercises will help you to work within the appropriate range for your body and to strengthen your muscles to better support your joints.

This class uses resistance bands, a pole (or broom handle!), an overball or triadball and head cushions.
