Course Details
The Spin City Stretching and Flexibility Instructor Course will provide you with a base of theoretical knowledge and practical techniques to teach safe and effective flexibility classes – either alongside pole and aerial, or as a standalone session. You can expect to cover benefits and risks of stretching, factors controlling flexibility, methods of training, and the science behind flexibility, finishing with some flexibility exercises.
The accompanying course syllabus covers over 45 exercises suitable for beginners to flexibility training, along with additional options to ensure the safe progression of your students.
