Science of Stretching®

Science of Stretching® classes are targeted stretching classes designed to help you improve and increase your basic range of motion, mobility, and flexibility.

Three basic elements of Science of Stretching®:

  1. Release Muscle Tension: muscles stretch best when relaxed.

  2. Breathe into the Stretch: Turn off the stretch reflex by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system (the network of nerves that relaxes your body).

  3. Passive Holds: stretches are held for 2-5 minutes. To achieve your flexibility goals you will need to meet and exceed your hold times each time you stretch.

There are 2 options available and both can be enjoyed as either a group class or a one-on-one private instruction:

  1. Stretch Essentials takes place primarily on the floor, providing deep and effective stretching opportunities. It's best suited for participants who:

  • Can comfortably transition to and from the floor with minimal or no assistance

  • Are looking for more intensive stretching sequences

  • Want to improve flexibility and range of motion through floor-based positions

  • Enjoy mat work similar to yoga or Pilates floor exercises

  • Have moderate mobility and core strength

All stretches can be adjusted to your personal flexibility level while maintaining proper alignment and form.

  1. Adaptive Stretch is designed for comfort and accessibility. We utilize chairs, stools, and supportive props throughout class, making it ideal for participants with:

  • Limited mobility

  • Joint replacements

  • Difficulty getting up from or down to the floor

  • Those recovering from injury or surgery

  • Anyone seeking gentle, supported movement options

All exercises can be modified to match your unique needs and comfort level.

No. This is not yoga. We do not cover energy medicine, chakras or meridians. This class is targeted mobility training.
Yes and no. This class is appropriate for anyone regardless of current flexibility. However, it is not appropriate for pregnant women, people with hypermobility such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, or people with severe scoliosis. Check with your doctor first if you have had a joint replacement, an illness or disease, or have had surgery.
You must be 16 years old or older. For any participant under the age of 18 a waiver will be required from both the legal parent/guardian and the minor.
No. During this type of stretching we ask our muscles to “go offline.” Why? Because muscles stretch best when relaxed. As a result, you should not engage in cardio or weightlifting for 2-3 hours after stretching because your joints will be lax and your muscles relaxed. This could lead to injury.
No, the stretches will feel intense and uncomfortable in the moment. We will try to achieve a 7 out of 10 level of intensity in most stretches. That being said, this class is more challenging mentally than it is physically. (For people with joint replacement(s) we try to stretch at a 5 out of 10 intensity).
For class at the studio you only need to bring a mat. The studio will provide any other equipment needed for the stretches that day.
For stretching at home you will need a mat, a strap, a few blocks, a cushion/pillow and a chair/stool. Don’t run out and spend money just yet though. You can borrow your friend’s mat that has been collecting dust in the corner and you can substitute a lot of these items with ones you find at home such as books for blocks, a couch pillow for a cushion, and a belt for a strap.
Wear comfortable clothes such as stretchy yoga pants or shorts and a well-fitting shirt. Clothing that is too loose will get in the way of stretches and clothing that is too tight may feel constricting. If you choose to wear loose fitting shorts please wear something fitted underneath as we will, from time to time, do stretches that may cause shorts to gap away from your leg.
 I will demonstrate each stretch for you and show you appropriate modifications for your current level of flexibility/mobility. We use the equipment listed above to help prop us in the stretches so we can relax more into the stretch and let gravity do most of the work for us.
We hold stretches for 2-5 minutes depending on the intensity, and as mentioned before, we  aim to feel a 7/10 intensity in most stretches.
Your body will instantly fight you with a stretch reflex. It is trying to prevent you from stretching too far, too fast. Ordinarily, that’s a good thing! It is trying to prevent you from injuring yourself.
We hold the stretches long enough for us to overcome this reflex and relax our muscles to achieve the stretch benefits.
You should set your sights on 15 minutes of stretching hygiene 5 days per week. You are welcome to stretch for 30 or even 60 minutes a day, however, aim for becoming a consistent stretcher. Consistent stretching is where you will start to notice the benefits. If you have extra time one day, great! - get in a few extra minutes of stretch. If not, pat yourself on the back for completing your daily 15 minute routine.
Absolutely! We’d love to have you!
