Course type:
Recorded Skype Session
Featured student:
Kaylee (dancer)
What I like about it:
This course (the main video) is quite long, which is great for deeper work.
Stacey takes her time to guide Kaylee through the stretches – repeating left and right – with a bit of extra time for the tighter side.
This is excellent for recalibrating flexibility imbalances – in other words, good for everyone 🙂
Another thing I absolutely love is Kaylee’s spirit. You’ll see what I mean when you try the course.
What it does for me:
I’ve noticed that the extra time for my/our tighter side feels very healing.
Especially the deeper work on opening the hips, hamstrings, hip flexors and quads.
Effects after a few sessions:
I’m noticing my hamstrings are feeling more ‘even’ on both sides, which is amazing.
For years my left side has been tighter, thus less comfortable to stretch.
The difference after just a few sessions is highly motivating.
My favourite exercise(s):
I especially loved:
- The quad/hip flexor opening/strengthening exercise shown in the picture – feels so good!
Happy stretching!
