Deep Stretch (Bring Mat)

About this event

This class is focused on stretching and releasing tight muscles and tendons, specifically for those who dance, regardless of level. Research has shown that stretching your muscles will activate your parasympathetic nervous system. This activation results in an increase of blood flow and endorphins, resulting in a feeling of calmness and relaxation. Benefits over time include: Decreased risk of injuries. Help your joints move through their full range of motion. Increased muscle blood flow. Muscles to work most effectively. Exactly what dancers need! Once you learn how to safely deep stretch you can continue this practice at home! Every dancer at every level needs this! Make sure your body is warmed up before each class. Attending a ballet class right before this class is highly recommended. Taught by Megan Richard, Certified Pilates Instructor Please bring a mat.
