About Stefania
As well as being a very accomplished Pilates Instructor Stefania has also spent a lot of time in India over the past few years and in 2018 spent over a month solidly learning to teach Yoga in Bangalore at the Play Practice Residency. Taking some time to travel through India, Stefy fell in love with Rishikesh and took Hatha classes, practiced Meditation at Paramath Niketan, and of course continued to practice Yoga at the Niketan Trust.
In February 2019 she again visited India (Kerela) and studied Ayurvedic Massage and Diets for different specialties (Obesity, Pre /During and Post Partum and IBS) at the Kerela Ayurvedic Academy (The health Village).
Stefania thoroughly enjoys teaching and her goal is to always make her clients feel comfortable and confident in what they are doing, and always puts her own personal experience into practice whilst teaching.
Stretch Therapy
Presented by Leslie Abrahams
Saturday 8th June 12pm-2pm.
The goal of the work is two-fold: to teach people techniques that enable them to feel what’s happening in their bodies and, in the process, to hold the awareness in the unfolding present. Over time, this leads to the experiences of grace and ease in the body and mind.
Content:
You’ll learn a list of daily stretch and mobility exercises that are essential to combat the effects of modern day living.
We’ll focus on:
- 4 spinal movements and stretches
- Gluteal Muscle stretch and hip mobility
- Hip Flexors
- Neck and Upper Back
Discover how mobility and flexibility can be achieved without force or intensity. Learn how to remove restrictions to increase range of movement and flexibility by remapping the brain
Two constraints will be used with all the movements in the workshop
- Is it safe for you
- Is it effective to get the desired outcome for you individually
