YOGA/PILATES Experience increased strength and flexibility
through Hatha Yoga and Mat Pilates. The most popular form of yoga, Hatha emphasizes health and well-being through breathing exercises, special postures
(asanas) and concentration. Pilates focuses on core stabilization and creating long and lean muscles.

PASSIVE, TRAINER-ASSISTED
FACILITATED STRETCHING
A great in-home personal
training session to pair with massage!
While you lie back and relax, Laura will stretch your limbs to their fullest comfortable range of motion,
relieving muscle stiffness and soreness while increasing flexibility.
Passive stretching sessions work well for those who might not otherwise take the time and have the focus to
fully relax into the stretches, and to do so for a sufficient duration. Unlike during self-stretching, the client remains completely
passive during trainer-assisted stretching. Muscles are able to safely reach a deeper level of mobility; there is often
some tension when one stretches alone if there are restricted areas of mobility. In that situation the brain will modify the
muscles' ability to relax. Flexibility training is just like any other type: it requires consistent and progressive range of motion
to help to re-program perhaps hypertonic muscular patterns caused by sports (or even heavy desk-sitting).
