NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Sarah Feilders
I"m the creator of the Extensa™ method. I'm passionate about helping people live their best lives by improving their flexibility and overall health.
I spent my career working in the fitness, sports and dance industries. I had the privilege of coaching Olympic, High Performance and Professional athletes in flexibility training, Ballet, Pilates and Yoga. I worked as a group fitness instructor, workshop presenter and personal trainer. My main focus was building flexibility through strengthening and stretching techniques, balance training and core strength. By combining my dance training, fitness and sports certifications, I created unique programs that improved and maintained full body flexibility. Over the years, I helped propel my athletes to excellence in their sports and improved my clients overall health.
After years of watching my athletes and clients thrive. I dove deeper into research and practice and sought out revision in order to validate their positive results. Which gave rise to the creation of the Extensa™ method. In order to properly share the wonderful flexibility results I had helped others acquire, the Extensa™ Stretching Instructor Certification was born. As a growing certification company, we are proud to work with highly skilled and in demand Extensa instructors. Who continue to help spread the wonderful benefits of flexibility training to as many people as possible. I look forward to getting to know you and working together!
TESTIMONIALS
What our Instructors have to say...
"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! "
- Melanie Boucher,
Extensa 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."
- Lysanne Richard,
Extensa instructor & Professional High Diver
"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."
