Move & Stretch combines targeted stretches, mobility exercises and controlled movement. Instead of holding passive positions, you move through your range and strengthen the end of it. The result is active flexibility: range of motion you own, not just range you can be pushed into.

Fifty minutes through the whole range

The class opens with joint circles and breath, then works through the body region by region: hips, spine, shoulders, ankles. Each block pairs a stretch with a movement that uses the new range.

The pace is calm and the attention is high. Your teacher adjusts positions for each body in the room; ten places make that possible. Props help where the range is not there yet.

Afterwards the body moves more freely and stands taller. Move & Stretch complements every other class at the lab, from Calisthenics to the Reformer.

What is Move & Stretch?

Move & Stretch is a mobility class. It combines targeted stretches, mobility exercises and controlled movement so that the body not only reaches a position but owns it. The difference to passive stretching is active range: you move through the range you have and strengthen the end of it, which is where range is usually lost and where injuries happen.

The class is built around the joints that stiffen in modern life: hips, thoracic spine, shoulders and ankles.

What happens in a Move & Stretch class at Anida Lab

Classes in the Aura Room last fifty minutes and take up to ten people, which allows the teacher to adjust positions for each body in the room. The class opens with joint circles and breath, then works through the body region by region. Each block pairs a stretch with a movement that uses the new range. Props help where the range is not there yet.

What changes with regular practice

More range in the hips, the spine and the shoulders, better posture, less stiffness in everyday life, strength at the end of your range and a body that feels lighter and easier to move. For people who train hard in other disciplines, Move & Stretch is the class that keeps the rest of the training possible.

Who Move & Stretch is for

For people who feel stiff after a day at the desk, for runners, cyclists and strength athletes who skip mobility work, for anyone who wants to keep moving well as the years go by, and for beginners: no flexibility is required, only the willingness to work at your own range.

Move & Stretch or yoga?

Yoga is a practice with its own frame and flow between postures. Move & Stretch focuses on the joint and its range, worked actively and specifically; each block has one job and there is no spiritual framing. If you want to feel the stretch and keep it, Move & Stretch is the more direct route; if you want flow and breath, Sync Flow is the class to pair it with.
