WHAT IS LIFE STRETCH?

Life Stretch is a mobility-stretch class that is designed to help your individual clients or group members become more flexible in body, mind and spirit so that they feel not only more functionally mobile, but also more capable to deal with the physical and mental demands of their lives. This comes from a non-competitive atmosphere in class that focuses on the innate physical intelligence and abilities within the individual. Instead of comparing oneself to others or to the person next to them in class, the participant is encouraged to find the best way to move and function for them, not some ideal. Life Stretch starts in standing and proceeds with movements that are an assessment of how the self feels with movements that should be easy, free and fluid.

Movements are progressed and smoothly transitioned to the floor on a mat for a variety of flowing and constantly moving pain-free mobilizations and stretches. These movements have a logical flow, mobilizing joints and shorter chains with smaller muscles and fascia. Movements then progress to longer chains of multiple joints and larger muscles and fascia. Participants are encouraged to find their own way of progressive movements that are pain-free and efficient. The reward is not only feeling and seeing a progressive increase in movement with ease but also experiencing the sense of physical, mental and emotional wellbeing that accompanies it.
