Foam Roll + Stretch Classes

In my Foam Roll and Stretch classes, I hope to bring a little relief to participants. Relief from tough workouts. Relief from the stress that work and everyday life bring to our bodies.

The class format help my training clients build greater awareness in the body. We roll everything from feet, to the upper back. I like to incorporate a lot of stretches and mobility work. I offer lots of options for new and experienced participants.

Every class is unique, so clients learn a lot of things they can bring into their practice outside of class.

What to bring

A foam roller and a yoga mat.

A 36-inch, medium-density or soft-density foam roller works best for this class. For details, read my blog post about choosing a foam roller.

Yoga blocks are a great tool to have, along with a folded blanket or towel for knee cushioning.

Does foam rolling hurt?

In class, we’ll use a tenderness scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the most tender. We’ll aim to roll areas in a 5 to 7 range.

The goal is not pain. With self-adjusted pressure, and our breath, we’ll ease tension throughout the body, and hydrate the fascia. We’ll lengthen our muscles, and improve how we move and feel.

We’re all unique, so the options I offer help clients discover what works best.

The foam roller itself has a big impact on foam rolling feels. A medium-density works well for most of my clients. If you have any concerns, a soft roller is a great option!

Local clients can buy foam rollers directly through me.
