The
Meridian Stretching System
This
is a powerful program of stretching exercises designed to promote total
physical and mental flexibility for peak performance of body and mind.
They system combines classical Hatha yoga, exercise science and Traditional
Chinese Medicine. It is based on the principle that muscles stretch
best is you can contract them while simultaneously elongating them.
This active muscle contraction is called 'resistance' and forms the
foundation of a revolutionary technique known as Resistance Stretching.
This stretching technique affects both physical and mental health by
improving the body's structural and mechanical alignment. The goal is
to release the tension buried within muscles.
