Stretch & Restore Reformer
This specialty Reformer class offers a gentle, therapeutic experience designed to support recovery, relaxation, and overall mobility. Using the Reformer for supported stretching, you’ll explore slow, mindful movements that lengthen tight muscles, release tension, and improve flexibility — making it an ideal complement to heavier workouts, periods of stress, or days when your body needs extra care.
Class elements include guided breathwork, individualized adjustments, and deep, restorative holds. The practice finishes with a calming mat-based meditation using blankets and bolsters to encourage full-body release and nervous system relaxation.
