AIS Northwest - Advanced Practitioners of Active Isolated Stretching in the Pacific Northwest

Testimonials

"Josh is a masterful teacher of AIS. I have met people with great expertise but none like Josh with his level of authority on the subject, and an openness to share it all with me. He is present, patient, and attentive. I had so many questions along the way, and he simply drew from the depth of his knowledge to provide what was suited for me. He left me learning to approach problems with an investigative mind and to solve them rather than offering hypothetical explanations or applying hard and fast rules. He opened my eyes to the beauty and specificity of AIS, how big a difference it made to the quality of the stretch when all details were accounted for but at the same time not being bogged down by the details. I enjoyed learning from Josh tremendously and would recommend him as the teacher to go to for learning AIS." (Mary Zhang, Hong Kong

"Of all the classes I've taken, I really liked this one ... the attention to detail in course prep, materials, outline of the 2 days and the detail, and personality and helpfulness of Joshua."

"Especially helpful was the feeling of the instructor's touch to give and receive feedback from your classmates."

"Speaker/Instructor was clear in presenting AIS techniques. He made sure that the participants were performing the techniques right."

"I'm extremely happy I took this course."

"Joshua speaks very clearly and concisely. He is always clear and to the point in his demonstrations. He answers questions thoroughly and thoughtfully, checking for understanding."
