| Ki-Hara Resistance Stretching |
This new modality of training,
refined by Steven Sierra and
Anne Tierney of Innovative
Body Solutions, stretches and
strengthens the body
dynamically while energizing
the core and training the whole
body eccentrically &
concentrically. By moving the
arms and legs in specific,
explosive rotational and
diagonal patterns the core is
continually engaged and the
body achieves optimal strength
and flexibility in all ranges of
motion.
Ki-Hara is a form of flexibility,
strength training, and core work
is like no other workout you´ve
ever done before. Following the
workout, you will feel an instant
release of tension as well as a
burst of energy as the muscles
are stripped of toxins and lactic
acid and replenished with fresh
blood and oxygen.
During Ki-Hara Resistance
Stretching, the muscles are
being contracted and
lengthened at the same time so
the muscles are only taken as
far as they resist to keep
stretching safe and effective.
The basic concept to Ki-Hara is
that the muscles are strong

Stretching, the muscles are

stretching safe and effective.
The basic concept to Ki-Hara is
that the muscles are strong
throughout their ranges of motion, and it’s not how long they are, but whether they are strong
throughout that length – strength and flexibility go hand in hand - keeping the muscles more
stable and explosive. During assisted sessions, I also utilize a technique of muscle, deep tissue,
and fascia release called “mashing” to help loosen up muscles, flush toxins, and get maximum
results.
Dara Torres, mother and Team USA swimmer, won 2 silver medals at the last Olympics in Beijing,
China, at the age of 41, and she calls Ki-Hara resistance Stretching her "secret weapon". In fact,
many other athletes are beginning to recognize the importance of this type of training. For the
everyday individual, Ki-Hara can help the body function better as a whole to lead to safe
movements and pain-free living. It is low impact and great for people of all ages, abilities, and
fitness levels because the resistance is tailored to fit your needs. It even helps every other type of
workout that you may be currently doing!

| Ki: the circulating life energy that in Chinese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things Hara: The vital centre of the self, the focus of existence. The hara designates the part of the lower abdomen and pelvis region near the genital organs. It is an area located one and a half inch below the navel and one and a half inches inward toward the spine. This point also happens to be the body's central axis (centre of gravity / balancing point). Energy (chi/ki) is stored in the hara where it is heated before spreading throughout the body - hence a warm glowing feeling. |
| Each full body resistance stretching session lasts approximately 1 hour. It is an intense workout for the trainer, who has to create the resistance against your moving muscles, combined with deep tissue "mashing"! Each session costs $100.00; press the button below to pay by credit card through PayPal! (NOW AVAILABLE!) |
