Targeted Flexibility:
Best as a supplement to another physical activity – not a stand-alone exercise program;
Gravity does the work: the practice is slow, deliberate, and often uncomfortable;
More challenging mentally than physically;
Can be customized but generally focuses on hip, hamstring, back, and shoulder mobility;
Is not yoga, is not restorative, is not injury prevention, is not physical therapy;
Is not for anyone who has had a joint replacement or is on chronic pain medication;
Is not for anyone who has hyper-mobile joints;
Available for small-group, semi-private, and private classes.
Gentle Stretching:
Balanced stretching for the entire body;
Positions held for 15-30 seconds at a time with movement in between the holds;
Customized modifications for all positions using bolsters, blocks, straps, chairs, balls, or anything else which aids in going deeper into each stretch;
Excellent for those just beginning their journey toward a more flexible body;
Because of the individualized nature of this class, it is currently available for private and semi-private classes only (small-group classes may be available in the future).
Strength and Stretch:
First half of each class focuses on body-weight type strength exercises;
Intensity can be modified for individual fitness level;
Last half of each class focuses on Targeted Flexibility poses;
Available for small-group classes only.
