Most people know they should stretch—but few truly understand why it's so important. In this practical and educational workshop, we'll dive into the science behind stretching, mobility, and recovery. You'll learn:
● Why stretching matters (and what happens when you skip it)
● The difference between flexibility, mobility, and stability
● How tight muscles impact your performance and increase injury risk
● How to incorporate simple, effective stretches into your daily or weekly routine
After a short, engaging talk, we’ll move through a guided yoga and mobility sequence designed to help you feel more open, aligned, and ready for your workouts—or life.
This session is accessible for all levels and especially beneficial for those who lift weights, run, or live an active lifestyle.
You’ll walk away with practical tools, better body awareness, and an understanding of how to move smarter.
