Science of Stretching, A Deep Stretch Class | Robin Hastings
5:00 - 6:30PM | LIVESTREAM + IN PERSON
This deep stretch class will be an excellent supplemental practice to your yoga practice! Not a yogi? This class will benefit you too. Fans of Yin Yoga will find strong similarities in this class. You do not need to be naturally flexible to participate! Come to class, we will all get there together. Many modifications and use of props will be offered throughout class to ensure that this practice is accessible for all students. Class will begin with a gentle but dynamic warm up and move into 8-12 passive stretch postures that we will hold for 2-5 minutes each. Please note: this is not a restorative class. We will be working at a 7/10 intensity level for the duration of each stretch. Reset poses and movement will happen between each long held stretch to “shake it off” before moving on to the next stretch. Class will end with a final resting posture to integrate your practice into your body.
We will use the concepts of 1)allowing ease in your body, 2) specific and deliberate breathing to help calm your Central Nervous System, and 3) time under passive tension to get the most out of stretching. If you stick with this practice it will increase your BROM (basic range of motion) in a way that active “warm up” stretches simply can not. Come experience Sarcomere Genesis!
