Last week, we bid farewell to Irene, our wonderful effervescent studio manager.
She’s been part of the journey from the very beginning, from days at our first pop up laying puzzle flooring one week to battle the cold and helping rip it up the next week when it just really did get too cold for yoga in a warehouse in October. Over the past year she has been weaving so much together behind the scenes — supporting our teachers, guiding the host team, raising standards, and helping us all feel more held. Irene brings her own special infectious sparkle, firm and commanding when needed (you better put those props away neatly) and always down for a laugh and a challenge as much a good chill on the sofa. You will be so missed Irene!!
Next month she opens her very own space in Amsterdam West, teaming up with Lolo - another member of the Stretch & Fold community. Watch this space, and go shower them with support when the time comes ✨Follow @dubble.ams and head over the second they open or if you have the time and inclination go help them paint things before ❤️
Gracias por todo! 💛

another universe: the acoustics at @stretchandfoldstudio (wait for second 26)
a warm-up session before a very special XL workshop.
—it came natural, to sing, after years playing. the vibrations of the cello in my chest, as if my vocal cords invited themselves into the dance. a precise point of consonance, and all the nuances around it.
this was my daily ritual during my final year of my Master’s. a year of speed, complex passages, and many pieces condensed into a short time. beginning my practice was a moment of reconnection, of tuning myself to the cello. and look where we’ve arrived—building on a stable foundation.
i not only use the voice, but here’s a fragment of me singing. just because. showing a part of me that i normally keep to my lessons.
i hope you like it.
warmly,
z

Honey Heat Retreat | 22-27 September
Our very first Stretch & Fold retreat, and the beginning of something elemental 🔥
At the end of September, we gather in Bordeaux to welcome the first in our series of retreats inspired by the elements. We start with fire - the force of transformation, energy, and truth. A call to shift, to soften what’s rigid, and to ignite whatever is ready to move within you.
This retreat isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about creating the conditions to return to yourself - with warmth, honesty, and just the right amount of heat.
Each day will unfold slowly and intentionally. Mornings begin with movement - yoga or pilates - designed to awaken the body and sharpen awareness. From there, we’ll weave through creative workshops, embodied practices, and spacious moments of rest. Think long walks through the nearby nature reserve, time stretched out by the pool with a book, conversations that linger, and silence that feels full rather than empty.
Stretch & Fold founder and embodiment teacher Tash will be guiding alongside Romee - contemporary dancer, yoga and pilates teacher - bringing together practices that are both grounding and expansive, structured and intuitive.
This is an invitation to explore your inner landscape through movement, creativity, and connection. To follow curiosity. To notice what flickers. To tend to it.
Honey Heat is for those who feel the pull. Whether you’re seeking clarity, release, inspiration, or simply space to breathe and be.
Come as you are. Leave a little different.
