Movement, a Fresh, Comprehensive, Broad Perspective
What is Movement?
Mobility Strong Class
Mobility Strong Class
Movement is an all-encompassing physical practice that can completely transform your body. I discovered it in 2013 with my teacher Andres Vesga in Hong Kong, a student of Ido Portal. You'll move in ways you didn't think possible, unlock new movement patterns and intelligence, and create a strong and resilient body and mind.

I created this class to extract some of the essential elements of Movement into a 75-minute session. Class flow is a movement-based warm up followed by rotating projects monthly, usually incorporating a strength circuit, mobility work, floor work and locomotion, and sometimes object manipulation. If time, we do a yoga-inspired stretch at the end. You will probably get a cardio effect in the process, but it is not the focus.
This class is challenging but accessible for all levels.

Wood is strong, but bamboo is strong AND flexible. Hard core fitness devotees often complain they feel stiff. Thousands of repetitions in the same patterns and planes of motion will do that.

Bamboo Bodies
Wood is strong, but bamboo is strong AND flexible. Hard core fitness devotees often complain they feel stiff. Thousands of repetitions in the same patterns and planes of motion will do that. Train your joints, muscles and connective tissues to handle broader ranges, and invite diversity into our movement practice. Passive flexibility like the splits might be a cool party trick, but mobility - the ability to control your movement within your flexible range - is a lot more useful.
Strength Training
Strength work opens a myriad of movement doors. It also increases bone density and power. Strength gains require progressive overload and the right recovery protocols and diet. It is highly achievable to deadlift your own body weight or do a full chin up, even if you're starting the process in midlife. Want more energy and burn more calories at rest? Get stronger.
Focused Form Work
If form suffers, injury will follow, to say nothing of compromising your results. As we age, everyone’s joints wear down, so moving mindfully, not sloppy, becomes more important. Injuries, if not from trauma, can creep up over time due to improper joint loading. Awareness of movement form and increasing functional range and strength will ensure your body can do what you want when you're 80.
