Besides lengthening, softening and toughening the muscles, the postures also stretch the joints (tendon and ligaments), vertebrae, including the organs. This is to give total flexibility to all parts of the human body. The postures are designed to make the muscles from stiff/soft to tone yet elastic, also to open the joints to allow greater degree of freedom in terms of rotation, last but not least giving exercises to the internal organs to improve their functionality and flow. There are over 500 muscles and 206 bones, so much stretching to do and stretch classes are sure to exceed your imagination. This class is good for beginners, intermediate or advanced practitioners. It is a good preparation and maintenance class for any other classes.
