Stretch Teacher Training

This six-day workshop is based on Kit’s book Stretching & Flexibility. This workshop will train attendees in the Posture & Flexibility (P&F) system (see over for further details of P&F). You will learn safe and effective techniques for reducing muscle tension, redressing muscular asymmetries, and improving overall flexibility using a variety of novel solo and partner-based stretches for the whole body. You will learn how to 'back and forward-engineer' any pose to suit individuals in your classes and will also learn how to assemble collections of exercises to make exciting and effective classes. You will be able to apply techniques suitable for every body immediately, from rehabilitation to performance enhancement.

Participants are expected to have read Stretching & Flexibility and have adequate anatomical knowledge prior to the workshop.
