     Anna Makar

Anna has been dancing since the age of ten and graduated with a Bachelor of science degree in dance from Wayne State University in 2017. In addition to studying various dance techniques, Anna had the opportunity to take courses in pilates, kinesiology, and dance pedagogy. After college, Anna first found her joy in helping otheres when working as a personal trainer and fitness instructor. To further her studies, she obtained a trauma informed training certification through Connection Coalition to learn how the body connects to our mental/emotional state.

For a long time, Anna had a dream of living in Chicago to continue to pursue a dance career. Along the way, she discovered StretchLab, a business devoted to assisted stretching. Through StretchLab, Anna continued to learn about the importance of mobility and how it effects our daily lives. At StretchLab, she had the opportunity to work a diverse set of clientele including pregnant women, remote workers, professional athletes, golfers, marathon runners, those with joint replacements, clients with ms, clients with frozen shoulders, and those who just wish to have a good stretch. For Anna there is nothing more satisfying than someone telling her "I feel much better!" after a session.

In January 2023, Anna continued her training at Stretch To Win institute in Chandler, Arizona where she learned about the fascia system in the body. She is currently a level 1 fst practitioner.
