Move Your DNA workshop curriculum focuses on the exercises described in Katy Bowman's book, Move Your DNA.
A Move Your DNA Workshop is a two-day intensive designed to give you hands-on experience with all of the exercises taught in the book Move your DNA. The only prerequisite is having read the book. The curriculum will consist of just those exercises, giving you a chance to thoroughly explore the movement with the benefit of a certified Restorative Exercise Specialist™ teaching and observing you. Classes are limited to 10 students per instructor to allow for plenty of individual attention. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in improving their health through practicing these correctives. These workshops are also required for any student in our Restorative Exercise Specialist Certification Program. |
"It is a 2-day (all-day) workshop, intensive and full of exercises - but it's not the kind of exercising that leaves you gasping for air. It does wipe you out by the end of the 2 days, but it's partly mental exhaustion but also from waking up small muscles that might have forgotten they existed - for decades!" SC |

other GROUP CLASSES
We will practice the unusually precise and revealing stretches and exercises of Katy Bowman's Restorative Exercise method, designed to help discover and release habitual muscle tension patterns that inhibit the true strength and health of our entire neuromuscular system. More importantly, we will cover WHY we do these particular exercises and what the goals are.
You will learn how to check and adjust your own skeletal alignment by seeing how certain visible bony markers line up. You'll be surprised how just by lining yourself up in small ways you may never have heard of before, issues of discomfort or pain that have been a mystery up to now can be comprehended. Once you gain an understanding of how your alignment is causing trouble (or leading to trouble) you can begin to make changes in your everyday life that will gradually unwind the habitual muscle tensions you've acquired.

We'll also talk about questions like:
The exercises are appropriate and beneficial for every level of fitness, easily modified for any health issues, and they feel great!
