Using a strap, we explore effective movement and intentional tension in our shoulder girdle. This class will be a nice compliment to any class where we need more access to shoulder overhead ROM, or if you need a productive but quick break from your work day. Expand your shoulder mobility potentia...

Grab a bolster and come along for a nice morning movement sesh. Nothing strenuous, but we try to get to pretty much all areas of the body to get you going for the day.

If you find yourself sitting for long periods this class is for you! Enjoy this quick practice at any point in your day to help take a load off those hard working hip flexors.

It's been a while since I've personally focused my practice on the hips, so I thought I'd rope you into that practice as well.

Using a strap and block we take a brief sojourn down the road of an old fav - bird of paradise.

Mostly gentle, this practice is focused on the lower back and hips. You'll be laying down for the whole thing, so it's a good way to coerce yourself to the mat.

Hand-balancing shenanigans can be challenging but also lighthearted and fun. In this practice, we explore working with our centre of gravity in avian shapes and eventually have a little play with peacock pose

It's time to break through some movement fears that are commonly instilled in us - we're moving the knee beyond the ankle in this practice! And frequently too.

Often a component of low back "stuff" the glute max could regularly use a little waking up, since we sit for long periods most days. This practice will take care of that need.

Usually we practice in familiar ways, and there may not be so much variation in how we do things. This practice takes us off the typical path as it relates to shoulder rotation, to see what gems we can extract for ourselves.

The step through, from downward dog to a lunge, is a very common movement in Vinyasa-style practices. Often times we might swing the foot forward a little to get it a bit further between the hands. But not today we don't ;)

Get ready to feel a little frustrated with me with this one ;) Have a block at the ready, as we're going to be using it to both decrease stability and symmetry throughout this class.

Dancer's pose has a lot of things going on. In this practice we break it down into component pieces and build towards it as our Peak. Bring a bolster, blocks and a strap along for the ride.

Some additional options and variety to play with for your neck-focused practice. You can combine this practice with the first one that focused on the neck or you can use this in isolation. Keep the sore neck at bay by making this a regular. No props needed.

Taking some time to zoom-in on the TFL, you'll be challenged and you may get a few wonderful cramps, but you'll also likely feel some more freedom after this practice. The TFL is an oft under-appreciated muscle - especially for the walkers and runners amongst us. Also, if you've ever had weird la...

Driven by some of Drew's personal injury history with the shoulder, these exercises have been critical in the rehabilitation work that continues post-dislocation. If you're doing ANY hand-balancing or arm-balancing work, this work is a must for your preparation. Blocks will be needed for optimal ...

Our feet and ankles do so much for us and they're so commonly trapped in foot-coffins (ie shoes). Break the chains and work on the mobility and function of your foundation - the ankles and feet. Keep an eye out for some fun at the end. A lot of this work really helps to keep the plantar connectiv...

It's a good "roll-outta-bed-and-get-things-ready" type of practice. The plan is to have you ready to take on the day after that - with a little more resilience of the tissues. Come and move with me before you tackle the day.

You'll need a ball (tennis ball sized) for this. Within this little package there are a few progressions you can test out. This movement bite takes you through some activities that really highlight the TVA, external and internal obliques, as well as other elements of our core subsystems. This is ...

The hamstrings won't be allowed to escape the work here - where sometimes we might find other areas of our body trying to help out a lot, this time we're going to take our sweet time and use our dedicated attention to really hone in on these hammies. Also, afterwards, let's talk about that standi...

Working your way (with strength) in the direction of the splits. This practice will get your hamstrings and hip flexors warm and moving. Also, there's a fun little thing at the peak of the practice to do with floating hands. Make sure you have fun with it 😉.

We could all use a little more durability of our necks. We often keep them moving in pretty straight lines - so this practice will take you out of that and into movements we don't often do - and it'll put them against gravity for load. Dosing this videos a couple of times a week is just what the...

One of our most needed movements is internal rotation at the hip -because it's not so an action we frequently train in many movement styles. Part of the benefit here though is that working on IR of the hip often produces downstream benefits to the other movement capabilities of
the hip too.

This practice preps a few key components for walking. If you ever feel a bit yuck after walking or you get a sore back from walking up a hill, this practice has something to offer you. Do it before you go for a walk and you'll likely feel better during and after your walk.
