Why this course?


Course Structure

This is a self guided course, with lessons that take you through a progression of skills, plus coach check-ins along the way to support, guide and hold you accountable. 

The course consists of lessons that are a progression of skills. Each lesson is 60-90 minutes long and includes resources to help further practice the movements from the lesson. After each lesson, you will take a moment to reflect on what you learned before starting the next one. There are coach check-ins built into the course to help make sure you are making progress towards your goals, answer questions about form, offer modifications according to your body’s needs, and anything else you need from us! 

Course Overview

Lesson Overview

This course is made up of 6 lessons. Each lesson takes 60-90 minutes and a typical lesson includes the following movement segments:

Each lesson is a building block to help motor control and function become intuitive so that you can find endurance, flexibility, and strength. 

Complete the whole lesson, then practice the different foundational movements by re-watching video segments, reviewing with the practice slides, or using the circuit playlist until you feel ready to move to the next lesson. As you complete each lesson they will still be available to you so you can go back and work on those skills!

Timing / Duration

This is a self-paced course. You can take as much or little time as you want based on your schedule and/or skill acquisition. After completing a lesson you can move onto the next one or spend a few days practicing the lesson segments before moving onto the next lesson. You may benefit from planning to do one lesson per week in order to follow a consistent schedule. Listen to what your body needs to groove in the movement patterns, then move on when you are ready. Coach check-ins are a great place to talk about timing!

Equipment

Each video begins with a preview slide that shows what equipment you’ll need for that segment. You’ll just want a mat to provide cushion for the floor and make sure you have good traction, and some movements use a chair. Any household chair will do!


Communication & Support

There are built in check-ins with a coach along the way! These coach check-ins will help make sure you are making progress towards your goals, answer questions about form or modifications, and anything else you need us for. We’ll use your goal setting and reflection questions leading up to each check-in as well as availability to schedule an appointment with the coach best suited to your needs.

Determining what to pay

You can use this chart to help decide what the right price is for you. Everyone’s financial situation is informed by the interactions between income, wealth, debt, and varying costs of basic living expenses. Consider where you fall in each of the categories presented to determine your overall financial position.

This chart is presented solely as a guide to help you decide the course price that’s best for you. It’s impossible to capture everything, which means you may have specific circumstances that aren’t reflected here. Ultimately, the choice is yours — we’re trying to lower barriers, not put more in your way!
