Training schedule
Day one: Starting on day one, your master trainer will lead you through a sample level one elevatED Flexibility class so that you can experience the elevatED format and philosophy in action. Afterwards, you will get to know your group, receive your class materials, identify your goals for the weekend, and begin to think about how to create YOUR ideal flexibility class. Your master trainer will lecture on subjects such as: do’s and don’t’s of effective stretching, how to create an optimum classroom environment for flexibility, anatomy, body knowledge, alignment, cueing tactics, and injury prevention.

Your master trainer will begin leading you through “The Moves” as you learn, breakdown, move through, cue, and teach new mobility and flexibility moves. Learn how to prepare the body and apply the elevatED Method of Flexibility Training by creating your own movement sequences. You will participate in movement labs and work with partners as you practice correcting alignment, cueing muscular activation, and generating fluid sequences.
