Private Training - In Person
I am available for a private consult and training, allowing for optimal individual attention to your needs and wants. I can help to determine what is important to you and how your training can help you achieve that which you want. We will look at strength and weaknesses, and determine how to best prepare your mind and body. You can also participate in semi-private training, which is the most affordable way to obtain individualized attention. Organize a small group of 3-5 people to train together, creating a fun and intimate atmosphere to help each other achieve your goals.

Workshops are two-hour intensive classes focused on specific skills/drill/areas so that the student will leave with a deep understanding of the movement and also the neccessry progressions and regressions to help build their own practice. My hope is that after leaving the workshop each student will be able to put together a game plan to significantly improve the area of focus. Depending on the workshop focus, we will use an array of modalities including but not limited to Functional Range Conditioning, MovNat, bodyweight, gymnastics, martial arts, and partner games and drills. Regardless the main goal is always to de-modernize the body, enhance usable ranges of motion and strength, connect with your body and others, to build a resilient, best version of yourself.
Build Your Own Practice
1. Ask WHY...
Before starting any type of program, whether its training, eating, sleeping, working, you need to know why you are doing it and make sure it aligns with your purpose. This is vital for your ability to thrive in this pursuit and to ensure it actually is something worth your time, effort, and money. Often we hear or see something and we want to jump on the bandwagon because it is either popular or looks cool, without thinking how it will work for us. So first as WHY like a toddler would, keep digging into every layer.
2. Begin With Kinstretch and Functional Range Conditioning
The key to building an adaptable body is to begin with Functional Range Conditioning and Kinstretch. These will inherently assess your body and tell you where you can begin your focus. Do not be impatient, as physical, biological change takes TIME! So work on the areas you feel need the most attention and work on it until you see improvement. Then you can begin to work on the other areas.
3. Explore, Build and Play with Movement
- Determine your purpose or goal. Why do what you do...
- Move each day: varied, well and often. Fast, slow, stretch, strength, linear, lateral, run, climb, play, twist...
- Do what you enjoy.
- Find balance between hard and easy. Feel discomfort and pleasure.
- Of course continue to practice Kinstretch to build your bodies' capacity even more!
