As a therapist teaching people how to work their mind and manage emotions for 27 years, it was apparent that the body and mind are connected and as humans we need to nurture both aspects of ourselves. And so was born stretches and tangos, a movement studio that teaches yoga classes with a therapeutic twist. All classes are small and personal and geared toward optimal physical and mental health. In yoga we incorporate hypnosis, nlp, and stress management techniques to set goals and change negative patterns, combined with easy and challenging movements for every body.

Yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where yoga originated. We can think of the union occurring between the mind, body and spirit. All of this is done to innovative, thought provoking music and vocals.
