Posture Boost & Back Health

Watch Trailer

ABOUT SEASON 14

This new season of Classical Stretch features 18 episodes designed to strengthen every muscle and joint in your body through gentle stretching exercises that mirror the constant body movements that we use in real life—reaching into a cupboard, picking something up off the floor, etc. The goal of these workouts is to improve back and spine health and help you achieve and maintain good posture—the signature of a healthy vibrant body.

Each of Miranda’s 23-minute workouts will help to safely strengthen the hundreds of muscles required to hold the spine upright – opening space for all your organs to function comfortably in the space intended for them. Good posture not only provides an appearance of confidence and youth, but it also encourages healthy organ function – cardiovascular, neurological, digestive, and skeletal.

Through full-body stretching and strengthening, these Essentrics workouts will loosen tight fascia and connective tissue, develop spine flexibility, and increase mobility in your back, knees, hips, glutes, legs, arms—a complete rebalancing of your entire body!
