Leg Stretch and Splits

A mobility-focused session to open up the spine, chest and shoulders, relieve tension, and build strength for better posture and alignment. Ideal for improving your arabesque line, lifting through the upper body, or simply countering time spent at a desk. This is mobility training with intention; guided, effective, and grounded in classical technique. Come as you are, and progress with support.

Latest Reviews!

  • Thoroughly enjoyed Gwen's classes. Love that the class is focused on active flexibility and mobility and not just pushing into stretches passively. Super effective!

    Kiki Johnstone-Scott

  • "Excellent class! Gwen is a great teacher and encourages everyone to do what works best for them. Will definitely be back."

    Alexandra Allison

  • "Always love coming to Gwen's class. She's always makes things fun even when it's challenging"

    Dee Hawkins

  • "Excellent. I was hesitant to start as I know I am out of shape but the atmosphere is very encouraging and Gwendolen clearly has expertise in guiding & instructing: she's also pretty funny, which helps! I would happily recommend if you are returning to/starting to engage in some flexibility practice - the hour was challenging but wholly manageable for me at 59 years old."

    Kevin Barrett

  • "Such an amazing class! It was difficult but in the best way possible, and you could choose how deep into a stretch to go to cater it to what you could do. Gwendolen's instructions were super clear and she was really kind. 10/10, I can't wait to go back!"

    Holly Moore

  • "Very professional approach. I really enjoyed the class and will definitely come back."
