We are taking a sabbatical after a busy practice during/post Covid. We earned it. 😀
Please utilize the Stretch Therapy Boston YouTube Channel to continue your practice!

Online class – The fall of conditioning
After the summer comes to an end, this fall, let’s explore the exercises to build strength, flexibility, and mobility together. That’s right. It’s the fall of conditioning! We are not conditioning to get ready for hibernation of course. Let’s keep our body moving! As usual, we will practice the Stretch Therapy principles to explore the capacity within.
For everyone! Classes are held with a group of students to explore the benefits of practice together. Variations of the exercises are introduced based on the individual’s needs. Students can focus on the proper alignment of each exercise and experience the holistic benefits from it. More variations of the exercises are gradually introduced following the principles of the Stretch Therapy system. Check out the Stretch Therapy Boston Online Class Open House video (30 minutes) for an orientation of what to expect in the class, what to prepare, and a lying meditation.
