Experience ‘the ultimate stretching experience’ in The Stretch Room.  A virtual, live streamed stretching program that is appropriate for all sizes, shapes, mobilities and flexibilities. There are many physical and mindfulness benefits associated with stretching including, increasing flexibility, improving range of motion, caring for your muscles, releasing stress and calming your mind. We will focus on multiple body parts and muscle groups in this 60-minute session. Bring a mat and a stretch band (scarf or belt will do) and let's stretch together, and let stretching be how YOU take care of YOU!

*fyi - Stretch bands are available for sale at www.SimonePollard.com . But a belt or scarf will also suffice.
