45 Minutes of Stretching with Michael

45 Mintues of Stretching with Michael

Description: This will be informed by my yoga instruction, but it will be a simple, mostly stationary, stretching class that is accessible to anyone. I’ll offer some modifications to folks who may have limitations (as do I, with my shoulder mobility) and encourage people to only do what is comfortable to them. I’ll emphasize practices that mitigate the impacts of sitting or being sedentary for a long time. We’ll start class with a few minutes for folks to settle in and for me to let them know what to expect. We’ll stretch for 15-20 minutes, then have time for the rest pose at the end.

Other Information:

• You are welcome to join the class and not use your video. So, if you don’t want me or others watching you stretch, it’s cool.
• Participants will be encouraged to do their own modifications – I’ve had people participate in my yoga classes and do their physical therapy stretches and ignore me completely. This is also completely cool, if they just want to participate for the social connection.

Equipment: 

• No special equipment is needed. A yoga mat is helpful, but a floor space that is carpeted, a blanket or towel on a hardwood floor is also fine. 
• You may also find it helpful to have a t-shirt or a towel handy that you can use as a stretching aid.
