Will I learn something new about stretching?
Solo-partial exercises are easy to learn and can be used as daily maintenance. But your posture and flexibility will improve significantly when working with partners in class, one-on-one, benefiting from assisted stretches. We learn to assist each other in turn of greater results. In this Introduction, we will warm up each muscle group properly before stretching; we will work on the hip flexors (the major shaper of your spinal shape, and a frequent cause of back and neck pain), piriformis (a muscle that can cause sciatica), the hamstrings, calves, shoulders and a few simple neck exercises, too.
Is Stretch Therapy like Yoga?
No. The core of Stretch Therapy (ST) is based on the therapeutic effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF). The PNF Contract-Relax approach ensures that a deeper and longer-lasting stretch is attained, making Stretch Therapy far more effective than simply stretching and holding a position.
How does PNF work?
There are 3 steps to PNF also called Contract -Relax approach:
First the limb is taken into the stretch position
Secondly the muscle being stretched is contracted
Thirdly the muscle is relaxed and re-stretched further into the new stretch positionWhat should I know before attending the iCocoon Stretch Therapy Intro?
It is recommended to review the principles of stretching safely!

Lucy came to CrossFit Vancouver in the winter of 2012. Originally from Ireland, Lucy was living in Melbourne, Australia when she discovered CrossFit. She loved it, but she wanted to learn more. After doing some research about CrossFit boxes around the world, she soon stumbled across our apprentice program in Vancouver.
Here’s what she said about her three-month experience in Vancouver:
“From the moment I set foot at CrossFit Vancouver, I knew I was in for a very different and special experience. Even though I was still adjusting to the shock of seeing snow rather than blue skies and sand, I immediately felt at home.
I was greeted with big smiles, eager handshakes, and curious questions, not to mention a crew of impressive athletes, who could knock out handstand push ups like they were hiccups!
One thing that really stood out for me was the ease and efficiency in which things were done. The relaxed yet focused atmosphere, and the embracing community at CrossFit Vancouver are priceless.
In short, Patty and his charismatic team offer a superior service, both in and outside of the school. I learned so much from them, on both a professional and personal level.”

Gisele, I am interested in this class but seems like that every time it’s running, I am out of town… any ideas when the next one will be?
What a bummer I am sorry that the dates never seem to work out for you. Please call and lets arrange a one on one session with me, I can offer the same fee $60 for one hour and we can tailor the session for your own needs and unique condition. call 604-788-5432 This way, at a later date you may also decide to join us for the workshop as a repeat participant for $30. Please let me know if this arrangement would work for you. Thank you very much
Hello Giselle,
Thanks for your reply, sorry I was out of town for so long! My husband and I are interested in join in your class, what would be the cost for both of us? Or maybe I should just call you!
