At Form is Function we approach flexibility quite differently from what you have seen in this country. FIF students and athletes tend to be very flexible and yet do very little stretching. They also suffer no compromise for this high level of flexibility. Our people are very strong and very stable. Attendees will learn these time efficient, Russian methods of building functional flexibility. Join us at this workshop and learn:
How to increase range of motion quickly by engaging the nervous system rather than attempting to force body structure changes.
Techniques that build stability and mobility at the same time.
How to determine how much flexibility you really need.
Spreading the load, so the stress of challenging movements and postures does not land exclusively on one fragile joint or other structure,
How to be more safe and successful in flexibility focused classes led by others.
Using your breath, gaze, alignment and inner awareness so that your whole body “agrees” on what you are trying to do.

“Eric’s understanding of loaded stretching pushed me so far beyond what I knew, and I have about 15 years of yoga under my belt. The attention to detail and his high level of perception in what is happening in YOUR body is such a treasure. I have always been quite flexible, if not a little bit on the rubber band side of the spectrum. Now I still have all of my flexibility and much more stability.” – Michael Sturgeon, Nevada City CA
