Learn how to create a strong and flexible foundation for better functioning and balance in everyday activities. The exercises are based on the principles of Active Isolated Stretching & Strengthening.

Both classes are presented without the use of any props except everyday items you find at home or in the gym, a strap for stretching, and weights for strengthening. Expect to learn specific stretches and strengthening routines for the Upper Body (spine, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands) on Day 1, and for the Lower Body (hips, knees, ankles, feet) on Day 2. Emphasis is placed on the exact use of movement to address foundational issues, such as joint instability, tightness and endurance.
