Christian Johnson's Stretch Class

Get your flexibility back
— no flexibility experience required.

Beginner-friendly stretch classes taught by a former gymnastics coach. Built for former dancers, cheerleaders, and gymnasts chasing an old goal — and for anyone who's always wanted to try the splits without walking into a room full of pros.

Coached by Christian Johnson — 10+ years training flexibility for athletes.
Is this for me?

Two paths back to flexible.

Whichever one sounds like you, the first class meets you where you are.

"I used to be able to do the splits."

  • You grew up in dance, gymnastics, or cheer
  • You miss how your body used to move
  • You have a specific goal in mind — splits, backbend, foot behind your head
  • You want real coaching, not just a stretch-and-hold class

"Yoga and pilates feel like a big first step."

  • You've never trained flexibility before
  • You want a gentle, guided way back into movement
  • You like the idea of working toward a goal — not just "stretching"
  • You want a room that doesn't expect you to already be flexible
