What is restorative stretch? Restorative stretch class is focused on spending time in various poses, as well as performing dynamic movement with the goal of improving mobility and flexibility. This class blends restorative yoga poses with active & assisted stretching techniques.   The class begins with dynamic stretches, which warm the body and increase flexibility through movement.  These are followed by restorative postures, which are held for up to three minutes using props to support the body.  This sequence of poses, combined with the hand-on approach of the instructor encourages the muscles to stretch and release, helping the athlete to maintain mobility, prevent injury and increase physical performance. Celeste works with participants to modify movements for each person’s ability levels.
