As health and fitness professionals we all know that clients love a great stretch after a hard workout, or sometimes they just need you to give them some stress relief and distraction from a busy and stress filled day. We also are discovering the holistic benefits of health everyday, and how RECOVERY and stress relief through breathing, stretching and massage are HUGE players in complete health. So now you will have an amazing tool that nearly every other trainer, fitness class instructor, physio, yoga or Pilates teacher, CrossFit coach and kickbox instructor doesn't, and this will truly separate you from the rest!
Why do this unique and amazing workshop? The benefits list could go on for ever, but here are some of the top ones:
Muscular System and Connective Tissue

Improves immune system – ridding of metabolic waste
Circulatory System
Increases circulation to localized and general areas.
It is known to help reduce blood pressure and lower heart rate.
Immune System

Helps to ease swelling in legs and arms caused by fluid retention.

his modality is an excellent complement to any athlete’s restorative plan by assisting the body to return to a state of homeostasis. After rigorous training, stresses over time can lead to overreaching and overtraining in athletes if not properly managed. Just like training for a sport, one should make rest and recovery a habit. Stretching, yoga, massage are all great examples and are all easy to incorporate into a complete mind-body-spirt based fitness program.
