Mobilise your back

Louise - Stretch it Better — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 22:02:51 GMT

We spend so much of our time with our spine stuck in one position.

Your spine is made of 33 vertebrae that are perfectly designed to articulate movement. They run from the base of your skull down to your tailbone and they mean your spine can move in 6 different ways.

The old saying ‘if you don’t use it, you lose it’ is reality here, it is for most of yo…

Leg Strength and a full relaxation

Louise - Stretch it Better — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 20:28:01 GMT

The first few classes have been more about passive stretching and releasing tension.

This class focuses a little more on strength, especially leg strength. This is a huge indicator of longevity as the strength of your legs determines how well you move and your independence as you get older, it also impacts metabolic health

I’m not giving you a full hour…

Release those shoulders

Louise - Stretch it Better — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:21:23 GMT

Last week we worked into the hips, now its time for the shoulders to feel the release. These are the 2 main areas that become tighter as we spend our days sitting. The thing is when we don’t move to release them it has an impact in other areas too.

Its easy to hold tension in the shoulders and upper back, most people do in today’s fast moving world. Wha…

Unlock your hips

Louise - Stretch it Better — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 16:32:59 GMT

I have spent most of the last 2 weeks sitting behind a desk all day which I haven’t done for a while!

I’ve haven’t been moving my body as much and have absolutely noticed such a difference in the way my body feels.

Morning stiffness, hips feeling tighter, tension in my upper back….it all shows that mobility is an ongoing thing….like the old saying goes …

Full Class 2

Just the second in what will be a growing library of online classes. We focus on hamstrings, hips and shoulders in this class.

I have a plan to do targeted classes going forward so the classes will be rounded but also focus on a specific area of the body. This will mean its easier to pick a class if you are experiencing pain in a particular area and als…

I do use yoga blocks in the classes. They help support you in positions that may otherwise be difficult. They help align you. They enable you to get a deeper stretch.

Breathe to Relax - Watch before you do a Class

Louise - Stretch it Better — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 17:38:57 GMT

If you’ve never done a class with me before, give this a watch.

In my classes along with lots of mobility, strength and alignment we will always hold some of the positions for longer than you might expect to. When we are doing this we will using a breathing technique to switch off that muscle reflex that is trying to tell you that you can’t stay there or you can’t go any further. I call it ‘ breathe to relax’. Before you do a class give this a watch, its just 4 minutes, it will help you get so much more from the class.

Its also a great way to help you get to sleep, just using your breath 😊

Let me know if you have any questions
