Welcome to Full Class 12 with Stephanie Petersen. This full-body session is structured to support strength, control and coordination through a clear and progressive class pathway.

The class opens with fluid upper body movement, integrating breath while establishing consistent core support. This leads into grounded core-focused exercises that reinforce stability and body awareness. The class then develops into turnout-based strength work, encouraging a more organised and stable standing leg.

Extension work is introduced progressively, challenging balance, control and placement. The Fitball provides valuable tactile feedback, helping students refine alignment as the working leg moves through different positions. Renversé-based movement is also explored to support upper body organisation, projection and coordination in preparation for centre work.

Later in the class, emphasis shifts toward glute and hamstring activation to prepare the body for jumping work. The session finishes with flowing stretches and a gentle cooldown to support recovery and reset the body.

Teaching Tips

• Encourage students to prioritise organisation and control over range.

• Reinforce awareness of the supporting side during extension and placement work.

• Use the Fitball as a feedback tool to refine alignment, rather than allowing students to collapse into it.

• Ensure students complete the cooldown fully to support recovery and maintain mobility.
