Stretch & Strength - Open Level 

Sam Paskins

I've only done a few classes so far but already feeling a lot looser in the hips which is helping with my weight training and dancing. I've also noticed I am not so achy after the gym or a dance session, I think all the deep stretching is certainly helping that!   

Tabatha Collier

Gwen is incredible. Listens carefully and provides targetted advice and exercises. I’m not just getting more flexible, I’m getting stronger and learning so much along the way. Shes also really lovely to work with.

Claire Murphy

I highly recommend Gwendolen. As well as being a positive and encouraging teacher, she is also highly knowledgeable which reflects in her teaching. In just a few classes I have already unlocked a level of flexibility I hadn't considered possible. 

Nilda Karakurt

I can feel every muscle in my body after the class, very embodied and perfect way to connect with body 

Rebekah Simmons

Gwen's expertise in dance and anatomy is incredible. The exercises and tips she gave me in both my dance training and strengthening has proved so helpful. I would highly recommend the 1-1 Online Coaching with Gwen!
