“I am so glad to have found Extensa as I wanted to add a stretch class to my teaching skills. I thought I could probably wing it but in the end I decided to take a certification anyway. And I'm glad I did! ...I've also learned so much about the human body and it's made me a better instructor no matter what format I teach. I loved the program so much I became a master trainer!”
“I love the balance Extensa brings to my life. While teaching it, I find it so beneficial to myself as well as my participants...and I really feel that it has helped prevent injuries throughout my high diving career.”
“Extensa has allowed me to better connect with my body and have more control over my movements...which makes it an even more effective workout compared to the traditional stretching class I attended before I became an Extensa instructor. Teaching it is also a unique experience and participants are very satisfied with the benefits they feel after the class”
