Elmhurst, IL 60126
Two Days. 65 Stretches. Client-Ready by Sunday Evening.
The entire weekend is hands-on — you'll spend Day 1 building the foundation in practice pairs and Day 2 working live clients in a supervised practicum. Complete your 40+ online lessons before you arrive so the in-person time is technique, not lecture.
Day 1 — Saturday, August 8 · Foundation, AIS Assessment & Practice Pairs
| 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM | Check-In & Cohort Intros — online-coursework recap, what client-ready looks like by Sunday |
| 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM | The CNU Stretch Method & the Science — fascial stretching + Active Isolated Stretching (AIS), the soft-touch protocol that down-regulates the nervous system, and why it converts to a paid service |
| 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM | AIS Assessment Framework — Alignment, Imbalance & Solution: a structured, repeatable way to assess every client before any technique is applied, plus the Green-Yellow-Red (GYR) client-feedback system that replaces the 1–10 pain scale |
| 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Lunch Break |
| 1:00 PM – 2:45 PM | Level I Stretch Library — Lower Body — foundational stretches with target / client position / pro setup / common mistake / pro tip, practiced in pairs with instructor correction |
| 2:45 PM – 4:15 PM | Level I Stretch Library — Upper Body, Spine & Neck — practice pairs continue; table-height, hand placement, and relaxed-fist ergonomics dialed in |
| 4:15 PM – 5:00 PM | Kinotek AI Movement Screening — hands-on with AI-assisted movement analysis for objective, data-driven assessment; Day 1 wrap & practicum prep |
Day 2 — Sunday, August 9 · Level II Technique & Live Supervised Practicum
| 8:30 AM – 8:45 AM | Day 2 Check-In |
| 8:45 AM – 10:30 AM | Level II Advanced Technique — Part 1 — building on the Level I library toward the full 65-stretch protocol; deeper positioning, pin-and-pull foundations, and sequencing two techniques together |
| 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM | Level II Advanced Technique — Part 2 — full-body flow, GYR-guided intensity grading, and how to read a client mid-session and adjust |
| 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Lunch Break |
| 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM | Live Supervised Practicum on Real Clients — not classmates. You run real sessions with working instructors correcting technique in real time — where competence and confidence actually get built |
| 3:30 PM – 4:15 PM | Day-1 Client-Ready Launch Kit — capture photos & testimonials from your practicum clients so you can launch your stretch service to your existing book Monday morning |
| 4:15 PM – 5:00 PM | Graduation, CNU Stretch Practitioner Credential, CEU Issuance & Next Steps |
