Static stretching doesn't work well. Try Somatic Stretching Sequences instead!

Did you know that you can release years of built up muscle and emotional tension, and reclaim your body’s fullest range of motion – in an incredibly gentle way that takes only seconds – and you’ll feel a difference almost instantly?

But the way this muscle melting will happen might not be what you think:

For years, in yoga, we were taught that static stretching, or holding full range of motion stretches for more than 30 seconds, was the path to long, limber muscles and the key to all those bendy poses on Instagram.

And yet many of you are here because you’re either still frustratingly tight after all these years and classes, or you’re noticing joint pain and even injury – or both! Even if you just want to learn a more gentle way to move and relax, static stretching simply isn’t the way.

I know – I did it for over 20 years, and nothing has worked as well as a few minutes of the simplest, most subtle somatic (body) movement.

Please watch the video above for more information on why stretching doesn’t work as well as what’s here in this course!

Scientifically, but simply put: Somatic Stretching, which is really gentle release work disrupts the gamma loop of tension, signals that are moving continuously from the brain to the muscles to tell them to stay tight.

This type of movement plus awareness tells the brain to allow the muscle “grabbing”, aka: tight muscles, to let go, freeing your joints for their full and natural range of motion.

Static (longer held) common stretches usually trigger a stretch reflex which either weakens the muscles during the whole yoga or fitness class, and/ or causes them to feel flexible for a couple of hours but then go back to being as tight or tighter after the movement session. Usually both.

So somatic stretches are superior if you want lasting flexibility snd not just a temporary fix!
