Assisted Stretching with Certified Personal Trainer, Karra
2025-12-30 16:00 - 17:00 | Stretching Area
Experience the benefits of Assisted Stretching with Karra, a NASM-certified Stretch and Flexibility Coach and Personal Trainer at the DAC. In this personalized one-on-one session, Karra gently guides your body through deeper stretches than you can’t achieve alone, using breathing techniques and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) to enhance relaxation, mobility, and results.
Benefits include: improved flexibility, mobility, circulation, and recovery, as well as better posture, alignment, and pain relief.
Sessions can take place privately in a therapy office or in the stretching area, depending on your comfort and preference. You’ll work with Karra to target an area of your choice — neck and arms, back, lumbar, hamstrings and calves, or quads — and discover how assisted stretching can help you reach your wellness goals.
Each session is for 1 person for 15-minutes, and must be reserved on the Event Calendar.
Karra’s services are available every Tuesday in December (2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th) from 4pm – 5pm, in 15 minute time slots.
