(Turn Sound On In Video For Description)

Movement Method is excited to offer Kinstretch classes to our library - a mobility system, based on science.  If you are a Yogi, a Dancer, a Runner, an Athlete, or you simply want to feel better and move better in your body, this practice is for you.  

Kinstretch offers end-range strengthening techniques that target the various movements within each of our joints. 

We position ourselves intelligently so as to place the joint at or near its end range and then we move the joint in the outer limits of that range.

This helps us to function and move better in whatever we endeavor to do.  It stimulates what is called tissue adaptation, where the nervous system interacts to create stronger, more resilient tissues in the area we are targeting.  We literally learn to direct the ways the cells in our body generate and adapt the connective tissue that we are made up of.

Carrying over from Kate’s Jet Pack blog last week on Movement Method, let’s keep using the strap as a way to prop up a bunch of Yoga postures.

Here at Movement Method we love yoga props. In our classes on this platform you will find countless unique and functional ways to use props.

Here is one of our favourite ways to use a strap to help you with your posture by opening up your pecs and keeping your shoulders down and back. You can use it as an anti-slouch tool as you move through your day or take it with you through a vinyasa sequence of postures as instructed in this video. Shoutout to the Iyengar system for the Strap Jacket idea - we love it!
