See why our students love Lastics and how it has helped them!
LASTICS is a stretch class for sure, but the benefits go far beyond a good stretch. My body feels well stretched, integrated, whole, relaxed, and strengthened. Pretty amazing.

TV/film credits include Cheers, Frasier, Law & Order, The Good Wife, Madam Secretary, Blue Bloods, Jumanji: The Next Level, The Good Fight, and tick tick...Boom!
What makes Donna Flagg’s Lastics different from other stretch classes is her vast knowledge of how to get you in just the right position to isolate an area to be stretched. Once there, deceptively small movements get big results. We may look “chill” on our mats on the floor but, believe me, it’s intense! As a former dancer, I appreciate that she accommodates past injuries and often works on each side of the body separately and carefully.
Broadway actor, singer. Credits include A Chorus Line, Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
I love Lastics because it takes into account the entire body and not just the part being stretched. It is intelligent stretching that builds strength, alignment and overall movement quality. I do an hour of Lastics and then teach a dance class able to demonstrate choreography free from worry about injury.
