My entire adult life I suffered from back-pain. That was 27 years of chronic pain. From intense exercising, to sitting at a desk many hours of a day, and sitting in the car too long, my body was just locked up. Finally, it got the worst it ever did and I would lock up as soon as I would get out of bed. I’ve seen doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists. I changed my diet omitting bread, omitting sugar, omitting tomatoes, mushrooms and red peppers because that’s what Tom Brady’s doctor says… omitting different things to to try and target why I had so much pain and stiffness. Nothing helped.
I was told by specialists I had a weak core which made no sense to me since my whole life I was active with exercise, cycling, fitness classes and tennis. Finally I was told about Christine’s Warm Raja stretch class from Ellen Latham’s Spin Class.
From the very first class I attended in 2017, I felt immediate results, way different than when I stretch solo! The next morning when I got out of bed and stood in the hot shower I realized my back wasn’t cramping up as it typically did! It was a miracle. The simple stretches that Christine takes the class through are held for long periods of time and stretches the body back to the natural position that we take our selves out of in this modern world. My aches, my pains, vanished.
I am so grateful I found Christine. I love to play tennis and gave it up for 2 full years because of the pain. I’ve been playing again for 14 months and am so happy! Plus I feel fantastic, better than I did in my 20s and I just turned 50! What a gift she is. Her mind and body connections help so many. I see the same folks come week after week as well.
Thank you Christine! xoxo

And PS – It’s all levels. Folks who are not sporty or active attend the class regularly as well. Fear not – no one should be intimidated to participate!
