This stretching class is accessible to all ability levels and no special equipment is required for the class. Exercises are functional, bodyweight exercises adaptable for different fitness levels and include both active and passive stretches. 

The class will begin with a warm-up designed to increase heart rate, calm the nervous system, and fortify against injuries. The main portion of the class will include controlled exercises and stretches designed to safely increase flexibility as well as strength at end ranges to protect against injuries. The class will end with a cool-down period incorporating stretching and mobility exercises to maintain muscular and joint health. 

The exercises in this class are designed to improve flexibility, strength, and balance to promote healthy bodies. Each session is designed to be fun, engaging, challenging, and rewarding. The exact stretching plan will vary from class to class to keep each session fresh, however, the underlining objectives will remain constant. Throughout each class, students will perform exercises targeting flexibility in the legs, hips, back, and shoulders to protect the body against injury and maintain a balanced body.

Each day has a focus.
One day will be focused on side splits, the other on center splits and straddle

Please contact me if your child has any injuries, pains, disabilities, or fears that might affect the exercises they can participate in during class so that I can be prepared with alternative exercises ahead of our meeting time.
