Klaudia Środecka is a stretching enthusiast and specialist. She trained under artistic gymnastics champion Anastasia Lutai and Kama Nienałtowska, as well as other specialists. She conducts workshops, group classes, and individual sessions. Her journey with stretching began 7 years ago, and now she teaches how to work on increasing flexibility safely and without unhealthy pain. Her classes are based not only on stretching but also on relieving excessive tension in the body, working on core stabilization, strengthening, range of motion, mobility, and technique. This approach allows individuals to achieve flexibility at any age and translates into beautiful body lines and gymnastic figures, which can then be applied to aerial silks, aerial arts, pole dance, and other sports.

In this workshop, we will relieve excessive tension in the body and work on core stabilization, strengthening, mobility, range of motion, and technique. We will thoroughly focus on the hamstring, hip-lumbar, and gluteal muscle groups. We will discuss the proper technique for working on the hips, strengthen them, and practice closing the hips in the long split position. We will work both on achieving the range of the long split and on controlling that range, including the strength needed to enter and exit the pose.

In this block, we will thoroughly discuss and practice the technique of split stretching, focusing on hip work, backbends, and shoulder movements to avoid straining the lumbar region. We will then integrate these elements into a cohesive practice! We will work on core stabilization, mobility, range of motion, and the strength of the shoulders, scapulae, chest, and hips. We will strengthen the back muscles and glutes, practice balance and stabilization, and relieve excessive tension in the body to make the range of motion increasingly comfortable.
