  I took a Pilates class here last week and it was AWESOME! Kobra was very attentive and made sure to correct my form so I could really engage the correct muscles and stretch. I can't wait to take another class here! The space is beautiful and very clean, which really added to my experience. I highly recommend Stretch!

  What is peace and tranquility? What does that mean in the middle of a hustling, bustling city like Houston? I visited Stretch Studio back in June for the 1st time almost as soon as they opened. I went for a Saturday morning yoga class with 7 other people, delighting in the calm, serene atmosphere of the studio. The sounds of Montrose Boulevard faded away once I stepped through the front door, where I was greeted by Krista, one of the sister-owners. She was very warm and conversational during the check-in process, after which she shepherded me to personal lockers and then the yoga studio. The teacher, Kathy was a fantastic instructor to have for a morning class. She initiated with an intention for us to focus on the purpose of our being in a Saturday morning yoga session: were we looking for peace, were we looking for improving our practice, were we there because of someone else. This centered my mind prior to the yoga class. Kathy slowly guided us through all the various positions, with special attention paid to holding good form, de-stressing our muscles, and breathing for better control & focus. I finished class feeling like my muscles were warmed up and my mind calm. As I departed class, the other sister-owner Kobra passed out lavender-soaked hand towels to each attendee. This helped cool down my face as well as deliver a relaxing essential oil aroma as I retrieved my belongings and started on my day. After a few months of sticking to yoga, I decided I’d try Stretch Studio’s pilates class. This class was considerably smaller, with only 3 other people in the weekday class. The instructor Lexi was an energetic sprite who was very accommodating to my complete bumbling through my first class. She asked me a few questions about my capabilities so she would know my limits. Then she gave me a run-down of the Wood Reformer Pilates Machine I’d be using during class. Once the class began, Lexi kept an eye on me. I eyed the experienced attendees so I could match their form for the different exercises. Lexi would only to course-correct when my form was particularly egregious. But she should tell I was figuring it out on my own, pairing her verbal descriptions with visual of looking around and then feeling the muscle group engaged with each exercise. I felt supported the entire time and the extra attention was really helpful. Despite the fact that Stretch Studio sits in the middle of the busy terrain of Montrose, I have found a corner of the earth where I can do yoga or pilates with confidence that I’ll be taken care of.

  The sisters who run this place made me feel really welcomed. This studio has a very unique vibe. People smile and say hello to one another rather than sitting in silence, it is a great community. This place is worth it since all of their classes are small you are not packed in and get a very personalized experience. Finally I have found the studio I feel at home at, I will be back for sure!

  This studio is nothing like others I have seen. Every element has been selected carefully and it shows. For me, it was more like being in a spa! I have taken their Yoga, Cycle and Pilates classes and they were all fantastic. You'll definitely feel the stretch!!
