What's Inside

Each Stretch Chi Extension begins with one resistance stretch, followed by a longer companion video that helps you problem-solve that same stretch based on what you feel when you try it. The collection includes 10 stretches and 10 corresponding Extension videos, so you can go deeper when a particular movement needs more attention.

Embracing Flexibility: A Journey from Stretching Aversion to Renewed Movement

by Jen Collins Moore

Stretch Chi 101 has changed the way I move. I've always hated stretching, so avoided it, but over time my body became tight, affecting how I ran and how I felt day to day. I knew I had to do something about it and asked for advice on the most efficient way to learn to stretch. A friend recommended Carrie and Stretch Chi, and I'm so glad that she did. Stretching is now the part of my exercise routine that I look forward to most. My tightness is gone and I'm moving in a way I didn't know I had been missing. At a recent doctor's appointment, my height had actually increased, which I have to attribute to stretching! Carrie's energy and enthusiasm make the sessions a joy, and her down-to-earth, come as you are attitude make me feel like I'm being successful, no matter how my body is moving that day. I've accomplished my goals and more, and know that I'll be sticking with this program for a long time to come.

I love that the program is easy to access online. I just created a bookmark link on my internet browser to get to the log in page and it was right there ready to go. The content is organized well and Carrie does a great job instructing in the videos. She tells you what to do, what you should feel, where you should feel it, how to make modifications if you need to and how to keep from injuring yourself. It's like you're with her in person. She's also readily available through email if you have questions and loves interacting with the Stretch Chi community on the message board. I felt very supported throughout.

Got Questions?

We've got answers.

  • What is Resistance Stretching?

    Resistance stretching combines active muscular effort with stretching. Rather than relaxing completely into a stretch, you engage the muscle as you move through a range of motion, bringing strength, flexibility, and body awareness together.

  • How long does it take to notice changes?

    Everyone responds differently. The best approach is to work consistently, pay attention to how your body responds, and let your practice develop over time.

  • Can I use these routines if I have an injury or medical condition?

    These routines are designed for general movement and resistance-stretching education. If you have an injury, medical condition, or concerns about beginning a new exercise program, talk with an appropriate healthcare professional before starting and work within a comfortable range.

Founder of Stretch Chi | Ki-Hara Master Trainer | Chronic Illness Educator Carrie Collins

Hi, I'm Carrie Collins, founder of Stretch Chi and a certified Ki-Hara resistance stretching instructor. I began studying resistance stretching after years as a classical pianist left me looking for a better way to work with strength, flexibility, and movement in my own body. What I learned eventually became the foundation of Stretch Chi. Since 2007, I’ve taught resistance stretching through individual instruction, group workshops, professional training, and online courses. My approach emphasizes understanding what you’re doing, paying attention to how your own body responds, and developing a practice you can adapt over time.
