Not stretching after an exercise session can also lead to tension in these areas, eventually inhibiting your active lifestyle. It’s important to incorporate a regular stretch routine into your daily habits to keep yourself active, and limit stress and injuries.

We had the great pleasure of hosting the Magnifique Marion Crampe at Studio Verve on Thursday 3 March for a night of workshops.
In the LaCrampe Signature Tricks workshop Marion took our advanced students through some truly amazing skills (including the Rainbow Marchenko) as well as unique and challenging transitions on the pole.
Twist Your Body really pushed our students to the limit of what they thought possible in terms of their own flexibility. Marion was quite impressed with our students who have since been implementing her drills and exercises to great effect.
