An exercise image album with full cues annotated

This still-image album on the ST Facebook page details a large number of the exercises and techniques we covered at the first ever Deeper Into the Stretch workshop in Melbourne, 7–8 May 2016 – who can remember that many years back? 😻

We were so busy on the workshop itself we were only able to take a few images, so we set up the lounge at a friend’s place and shot all the routines there. Olivia has annotated over two hundred images with the cues – click on each image to load the large version and that's where you'll find the annotations – and that is what we present in the album.

Deeper Into the Stretch had a pre-requisite that attendees had some experience with Stretch Therapy, typically the Into the Stretch workshop, which meant new versions of key exercises could be explored, and many RollStretch* techniques were included.

This is an unique resource; please share far and wide.

* In RollStretch (RS) the emphasis is fascia. RS uses sticks, balls of various diameters, and rollers to increase the effect of any stretch position. ‘Fascial remodelling’ is a reality; this term describes what happens when this tissue is stressed in particular ways and it is permanently altered as a result. To read much more, head over to the Myofascial Release Wiki on the ST website.

God bless you Kit Laughlin. This sequence is exactly what I needed to relax. I knew almost all the exercises from other lessons but watching and listening to Kit adds a magic effect that is way more relaxing than trying those on my own. Once I heard that the very presence of a real master already teaches you something, as if his personality irradiates some knowledge that couldn't be transmitted otherwise. I believe this applies so well for Kit.
