 New! Stretching & Breathing Class

Stretching is a vital component of your health. Many of us lead busy lives, yet we rarely take our bodies through their full range of motion. A decrease in range of motion often leads to pain and injuries. A consistent stretching program can allow you to significantly improve your range of motion, flexibility and stress levels. You will find your daily activities easier to do, and you have more energy to do them.

How Stretching Reduces Stress: The stretches and simple breathing techniques that you will learn in this class are designed to help your body rest and recover by lowering blood pressure and heart rate, which counteracts the effect of our stress-inducing lifestyles. Stretching not only has the effect of releasing tight muscles and reducing pain, but also relaxes the body and decreases stress and its effects.

What To Expect: Our class will run one hour, with 15 minutes following if you have questions for the instructor. This class is designed for all ability levels, and will include simple stretches and stress-reducing breathing techniques. Class size is limited to ensure that each person in the class gets personal attention for their body’s needs. Stretches will be modified according to each individual.

Time: 6:30-7:45 the first and third Monday of every month. Call 805-781-9155 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to schedule your space.
