  • Video resistance stretch sessions w/ottersocks–interested?

    Posted by ottersocks on January 9, 2011 at 11:01 am

    Hey all,

    I recently did a skype video resistance stretch session with Amy (formerly known as amyxshi) and it went great. I'd love to be able to offer the same to all of you (and Veena has given the ok to post this, no worries.) I'm a resistance stretching trainer for those who don't know, trained by the same folks who stretch Dara Torres every day.

    I'm thinking of two things:

    First, just like with Amy, offering one on one private 60 minute stretch sessions where we can identify and target your particular issues, practice the appropriate stretches for you, and leave you with a "homework" list of stretches. Probably priced around $45 for the hour.

    Second, group stretching sessions of up to 12 people via video chat. We'd work on the major stretches for splits, and could also have sessions specifically targeted to body regions such as tight shoulders and chests. Probably $10 for the hour.

    For both, you'd need a webcam and skype account (free). You'd need to RSVP and pay in advance via Paypal for the group session, and just schedule directly with me for the private.

    Is this something you all would be interested in?? Just trying to gather input right now. I'm headed out of town for a while (hey, anyone know of any pole studios in the Galapagos? HA!). Thinking that this would start in February. I look forward to your interest!

    Ellen

    I think that would be useful.  Does anyone know if Skype works on a Mac?

    YES!  Sign me up.  Can you do a package deal on 1 on 1's?  I think i'd like to do a series rather than just one lesson.

    Hey everyone,

    I am ready to roll with the one-on-one video stretch sessions. To remind you:

    I am a pole instructor and resistance stretching trainer, trained by the same people who appear on the Dara Torres DVD and who stretch her every day. I recently did a Skype session with our very own Amy, who had nice things to say about it–scroll through this thread to find her comments. 🙂

    This would be a one on one private 60 minute stretch session where we can identify and target your particular issues, practice the appropriate stretches for you, and leave you with a "homework" list of stretches. Price is $45 for the hour; $175 for a package of 5 sessions ($10 per session savings, payable up front in one payment.)

    You need a webcam and skype account (free). You need to schedule directly with me and pay via Paypal. You can message me here, or email ellen.lovelace@sbcglobal.net, or find me on Facebook. I am in the Pacific time zone, to give you some help with schedule ideas.

    I look forward to working with you!

    Ellen

    I just did my first online stretching session and it was awesome!  I really like the resistance stretching because the body keeps moving and because it's building muscles as well as making me more flexible.  In some of the stretches I was able to see immediate gains in others I was able to feel how tight and weak my muscles were.

    Ellen was able to quickly identify wear I'm weak and tight and gave good advice when to do each stretch to get the most out of them.  

    I loved every second and I learned a lot.

    Seriously, this is one of the best purchases I have made towards my pole dancing!

    See you soon for a tune up!
