Stretching’s more fun when you’re with someone!! Right ?? 😉
The #1 rule in my stretch sessions - we don’t take ourselves too seriously
Because the most common obstacle I see with people trying to improve their flexibility is that they force it…
And ‘forcing it’ can look like:
▫️ Holding your breath 🤭
▫️ Reaching as far as you can regardless of how it feels
▫️ Cringing or gritting your teeth to push through a stretch 😬
▫️ Counting down the seconds until it’s over
While forcing it may seem like the most common sense way to improve your flexibility, it’s actually the thing that will hold you back the most.
That’s why in each session we’ll chat, relax, laugh, work, stretch & rest
It’s one hour dedicated entirely to you - where the only thing I’ll ask, is that you do your best to R-E-L-A-X 😌
Take a deep breath.
Inhale what you need need.
Exhale what you don’t.
Then do it again.
Happy stretching!! 🧘♀️

Same Stretch 3️⃣ ways
That’s right! Believe it or not, there isn’t just one way to do a stretch
Take Seated Tree (shown here) - a fantastic hips, hamstrings, and lower back stretch
Whether your hands reach your thigh, shin or toes - as long as you remember to:
▫️Lead with your chest (avoid rounding your spine)
▫️Keep your shoulders down & back
▫️Tuck your navel in toward your spine
▫️Reach your belly toward your thigh
Then you’re doing exactly what you need to do to enjoy the benefits of this stretch!
Remember:
✔️Be ok with where you start
✔️Be ok if today feels different than yesterday
✔️Be ok if it looks different than the guy next to you
✨Happy Stretching y’all!✨

Perfection is a myth
Life happens imperfectly. It’s messy, scary, ugly, intimidating, overwhelming, rewarding, enlightening…but the one that it is not is perfect
Don’t fall for the myth
Choose the mess
Embrace it
Change with it
Surrender to it
Give yourself permission to stop chasing perfect
✨

🔥Hot take🔥 The hardest part about stretching isn’t that it forces your body into uncomfortable shapes.
Nope.
The hardest part about stretching is that it forces you to let time pass with no real tangible agenda 😬 Meaning we’re not shooting for the best time, the longest distance, the most calories burned…
That’s because when we stretch we’re simply asking out bodies to just be…
▫️Be ok with sitting still
▫️Be ok with slowing down
▫️Be ok with being patient
▫️Be ok with just being
Think about it: when was the last time you let yourself just be? No distractions. No agendas. No external goals.
Well here’s your chance to try it out👇🏼
The next time you sit down to stretch, pause when a thought tied to an external affirmation or distraction comes up - for example:
▫️I’m not flexible enough
▫️I suck at this
▫️I’m bored
▫️What’s the point of this anyway?
And when it does, instead of nodding in agreement and calling it quits, what if instead you stayed exactly where you were?
The thoughts will come and the urge to let them win will be strong.
But what would happen if you decided to set them aside for a moment and gave yourself an extra minute (maybe 2) to just be…?
Here’s the thing - you’ll never know unless you try 🤷♀️
