Spinal Stretching
Tutor: Toshi Hariki
From his extensive experience of working with the body, Toshi understands how the spine is supported by the muscles around it. He believes that the cause of almost every body ache originates from the alignment of the spine. In these stretching classes, Toshi will help you to correct the contortions of the body and let the spine realign to the ideal position. The class combines Jiritsu Setai (a stretching technique very popular in Japan) and Sotai ho (a traditional Japanese stretching technique).
