Just reading through the various stretches made me want to hop on the mat and start the exercises right away. I know that they will help me, and I can't wait to get started! The descriptions and illustrations made each stretch so easily understandable, and Natasha definitely showed several stretches that were new to me. --Nora Sommerkamp, actress, model SAG-AFTRA Clear, fun, well written, and well illustrated! I really love it! This book is well designed! The intro is great, and Natasha's clarity and importance on breathing with each exercise is wonderful! --Roya Carreras, performer, teacher, and choreographer This book is one that I would urgently share with the world. Our bodies are our temples, and Natasha has created a piece of work that invites further understanding of how to honor our bodies and liberate ourselves from the 'stuck' feeling many of us physically live in. --Michael Montgomery, Principal Ballet dancer, singer, choreographer. LINES Ballet Stretching for Beginners is not only an essential guide for those that are new to stretching but a great reminder of the importance of stretching. Our body guides us through our day and it is important to recover from the daily demands that are put on it. This book teaches us that the simplest stretches can make the biggest impact on our well-being. --Rachel McCaulsky, M.S.Ed, founder of True Body
