GUIDED COURSEWORK FROM CAREFULLY SOURCED INSTRUCTORS

Brian Nevison, Shoulders Course

FRCms, FRAs, Kinstretch

One of the most inspiring people I know, Brian successfully rehabbed (and continues to improve) himself after shoulder surgery last year. Now Brian brings his incredible enthusiasm, personal experience, and tens of thousands of client sessions to (re)introduce you step-by-step to how to strengthen and mobilize your shoulders.

Colin Doyle, Foot Course

FRCms, FRAs, Structural Integrator

One of my favorite people in the world, Colin is known as "that barefoot guy" around town. His personally-developed course walks you step-by-step (pun absolutely intentional here) through developing foot strength, control, and most importantly adopting what he calls a "barefoot lifestyle" that change the way you think about everything.

Breathing Assessments and Training

My latest breathing course 6 Questions to Better Breathing now included ($25 value)

- How am I breathing now?

- Where can't I breathe?

- What's my box?

- What can I control?

- What about movement?

- What if I can't do it?

Five Steps to Body Awareness Course

Sold as 3 Tests for Body Awareness for $10, I've rounded out the course inside this membership to include two more crucial pieces to improving connection and coordination, using tools I give clients to improve their ability to make decisions, navigate their world, and own what is good for them. Includes a journaling prompt to connect your physical sensations to the way things make you feel. Improving body awareness is an important step on the path to spiritual growth and healing.

How to Get "Back in Shape"

NEW COURSE inside the membership. For those of us who 'used to be fit' or 'let ourselves go' or maybe have never had a good relationship with fitness, this guide is for you to get on the horse towards positive adaptation without burning yourself out. Self hate is not allowed, I mean it is, but it just isn't an effective way to achieve long-lasting results. If you're ready to understand building your own personal practice that's about doing something good for your body, this is a great place to begin.

The Hips Course

You'll also be able to view and download my own Hips Course ($200 value) immediately upon joining. You'll learn over 7 lessons and 2 bonuses how to self-evaluate and identify exactly what is going on in your hips. Yoga teacher Robin Penney says, "The hips series you did was awesome...so full of great stuff. It was definitely worth $$$ for that ALONE. I can tell you that from a yoga teacher perspective, the assessment stuff is golden. Thanks for the inspiration."

The most helpful pieces for me have been (1) the multitude of ways in which you have demonstrated CARs (which makes it so much easier to fit into my life - i.e. I don't have to be in a particular 'position' all the time AND I have noticed different sensations in various joints when doing CARs in quadruped vs standing, for example, which is some intel that I need to explore further); and (2) the hip series that you recently added was immensely helpful to my understanding of how to chunk things a bit (loved the dynamic movements of flex/extend the hip using the wall) and also how to progress to PAILS and RAILS. I definitely feel my creative side wanting to try some shit out!

NOT INCLUDED: MAGIC BULLETS

This takes work, consistency, and the humility or faith to learn how to do things that your body is ready for ONLY. If you work on yourself consistently a few times per week, do CARs every day, and respect when your body says stop, you will see change over time. Excellent colleague Ian Markow says to clients to expect to MAYBE start seeing changes around the 6th week.

If you've never worked on yourself at all, you may see growth happen faster.

If you've always pushed through pain and stop that on my advice while continuing to work on yourself, you may see growth happen faster.

If you are eating foods that are good for you, drinking water, and SLEEPING as a priority, change will happen faster.

Let this be an asset and a new supportive partner in the ways you move your body towards feeling great and moving well.

Your personality really helps just make this all better. And by “this”, I mean the icky, awkward, hard, but amazing road of progress and the whole process.

I have a bad scap winging habit and just doing the cars alone helps. Moving my scaps in ways I guess I never realized they can/should move has been so helpful!

My hips also salute you!

I also really love the breath work. I teach Yoga and I love learning all different ways of breathing and am specifically fascinated with the diaphragm/pelvic floor connection.
