Wortham Classes
Stretch for Longevity
Thursdays • 9:45 am • 60 mins
Sep–Dec, 2026
Henry LaBrun Studio
Instructor: Kimberly Vasileva
This class approaches stretching as an active, embodied practice—not just static positions. Through guided movement, mobility work, strengthening, and breath, participants will explore flexibility as sustainable, responsive, and connected to the whole body, drawing on somatic practices, Alexander Technique, and improvisation. Rather than chasing external shapes, the class emphasizes curiosity, efficiency, and awareness—building a more informed relationship to range of motion, alignment, and ease.
Class may move through chair, standing and floor work — including spirals, articulation, active flexibility training, joint mobility, and static stretching for recovery. Modifications will be offered throughout to support a wide range of bodies and experience levels, meeting each mover where they are while creating room to grow.
