[Completed. Please reference online classes for the latest offering.]
For everyone! Classes are held with a group of students to explore the benefits of practice together. Variations of the poses are introduced based on the individual’s needs. Students can focus on the proper alignment of each pose and experience the holistic benefits from it. More variations of the poses 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.
