5 Days of Full Body Deep Stretching
This series includes relaxed sessions to relieve tightness throughout the body. In each class we hold passive stretches for 3 - 5 minutes.
When holding poses for longer periods, as we do in these classes, it’s important to relax the body so the stretches are passive. This series gives you the opportunity to enter a state of reflection.
