Let’s get to know each other
about our Stretch Class
We all know that stretching is important, but the correct way to perform those stretches is not typically taught in today’s fitness classes. In Friday 4:30pm late afternoon Stretch, professional ballet dancer/instructor, Katerina Lubek’s emphasis is on precision. Her method is based on years of classical ballet and gymnastics training, and integrates a series of unique Pilates and gymnastic stretches with physical therapy stretches that professional dancers employ every day. Set in a beautiful, serene setting -- at the Margaret Pace Park water’s edge -- Katerina’s stretch class begins with a 15 minute warm-up that includes a variation of abs, arms and glute exercises. (Prepare to sweat! Even with the cool Biscayne Bay breezes!) Following the warm up, Katerina’s masterly designed stretch technique offers students at every level of fitness:
The ability to develop a toned, strong, long and lean dancer’s body
Improved whole body flexibility and agility
Improved posture and body alignment
Lower back pain relief
Enhanced endurance and overall body performance
Superior post work-out recovery
Eventual preparation of the body for split
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear comfortable, form fitting exercise clothes that allow the instructor to see your lines and allow for corrections. For example: stretchy leggings, yoga pants or shorts, with a workout tank or t-shirt. You may be barefoot, or wear socks depending on your preferences, though some exercises involve foot and floor friction, so socks help to slide your foot. Bring yoga mats and/or beach towels, though a limited number of these will be provided.
Location
We are currently looking into indoor and outdoor options. Our outdoor stretch classes are take place in Margaret Pace Park, in Edgewater area, Miami.
