Forget the myth that you need to be flexible to start—this class is designed specifically to help you get there by safely increasing your range of motion through science-based techniques. Each week targets different muscle groups and joints using a functional blend of Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs), Kinstretch-inspired movements, and myofascial release. By utilizing props like straps, blocks, and tennis balls, you will learn how to access deeper stretches comfortably while improving joint function and decreasing your risk of injury. Whether you are dealing with tightness from sports, stress, or long hours of sitting, this inclusive class offers a practical approach to movement that ensures progress regardless of your starting point. All levels welcome with modifications offered throughout.
