Stretchworks Online Classes

My aim with teaching Stretchworks Online was to find a way to deliver a class that best replicates the ethos of the classes I usually teach in person; to provide a safe, caring environment, and as important, that supports and protects everyone's privacy and trust with myself and each other.

It has been a real joy to be able to meet and support so many new people through the wonders of online teaching.

Alison Evans

My name is Alison Evans, founder of Stretchworks. I began developing this exercise programme over 35 years ago. Having initially trained and worked extensively as a professional dancer with top choreographers including Arlene Phillips, and teaching at the Pineapple Studios, I started to explore alternative approaches after seeing the numerous injuries dancers were sustaining.

Initially, I was asked to work with athletes and dancers and, as they were experiencing fewer injuries and recuperating relatively quicker, I was soon brought to the attention of elite athletes: spending 3 years with a Premiership Football Club, and working with Torvill and Dean as they prepared for their 1994 Olympic comeback.

With growing demand for Stretchworks, and seeing the numerous long-term benefits both physically and emotionally, I developed the work further so everyone could benefit from Stretchworks.

I have since released a Stretchworks DVD, written a training manual with medical practitioners and psychologists, and written articles for/featured in various magazines.
