Great class, very different from other mat classes you've offered. I used a regular Thera Band, which wasn't as effective as the green strap, but I was able to modify and still get good work out of it.

Amy where can you purchase the OPTP Stretch OUT Strap?

Hi Colleen. Yes, this class focussed more specifically on shoulder mechanics using the gree Stretch-Out-Strap in addition to showing it's many uses in some traditional Mat pieces. My mentor, Pat Guyton, has developed a full Mat workout using the SOS strap.....and it's great! She's going to be at the PMA conference in Long Beach Nov. 5-7th. Or, you can look into her work by going to her website, www.patguytonpilates.com. The work with the green strap is amazing and yes, is very different than a regular TheraBand. She has a book too! Nice meeting you...hope to hear from you again!

Hi Elaine! You can purchase the OPTP Stretch Out Strap from their website, or you can contact Pat Guyton as well. She has also written a book on shoulder mechanics using this strap....it's fabulous. I'm pretty sure you can order that through her directly. www.patguytonpilates.com. She's also going to be at the PMA Conference in Long Beach Nov5-7 presenting the green strap and a full Mat class workout....it's amazing sutff!
