Not ready to pay for it?
“Classical Stretch” is the free version found on PBS. It is geared toward seniors but stay out of judgment, these stretches are the same stretches she taught to professional athletes and Olympians.
Like all exercise video platforms, some videos are better than others.
Here’s a few of our faves:
Season 11: episodes 1, 4, 8, 10, 13, 24
Season 7: episode 6
Miranda is my bestie, but try other teachers. Just because I love her doesn’t mean you will. You may find that you prefer a male teacher (like Sasha) or someone younger like Miranda’s daughter, Sahra or the beautiful, easy-to-follow Gail. Any of the Age Related Challenges are a great place to start (or the Golf Series) because you will get introduced to multiple teachers within the series.
I will continue to post more of our favorites throughout the rest of the year, so check back often…. And, you know I think form is essential. The more mindful you can be - the more benefit each stretch will provide.
Whenever you commit to an exercise program, it’s important to learn the basics - proper movement prevents injury and adds dimension into the practice. Take advantage of these short explanation videos made specifically for eccentric teachers, but available to channel subscribers.
