What is Functional Flow?

✭ Sequencing of Yoga
✭ Control of Pilates
✭ Science of Mobility
✭ Breath Mechanics of Postural Restoration

One class that brings together all of the elements I’ve studied over the years, to connect the dots between strength, mobility and balance in a way that feels natural and complete.

I’m thrilled to announce that my class at @modoyoganorthvan on Thursdays at 4pm is now called Functional Flow. See you there! ✌🏼

I don’t care what anybody says, e-mountain bikes are the best. 🙌🏼

We climbed 2200m over 50km and had the most epic day. Sandwiched between full day hikes, it was so fun to mix it up and cover some serious ground.

Not sure the bikes were meant to go all the places we took them, but it sure was cool to get up to 2500m and take in the 360 views.

Complete with a couple of hut stops for coffee and lunch, this was hands down the best day of our trip.

📍 Seiser Alm, Dolomites ⛰️

Dolomites Day 2: Sassolungo, one of the regions most iconic views.
18km loop with ~900m elevation and views galore. 🤌🏼🇮🇹

Woke up in the Dolomites. 🤩
Day 1 - Col Raiser

I’ve been pulling out Therabands in class lately to help people feel 360 breathing and find The Stack.

Think of your core like a canister: the pelvic floor is the base, the diaphragm is the lid, and the wall wrapping all the way around is your Transversus Abdominis (TVA) - your deepest abdominal muscle.

When you pressurize an exhale, the TVA concentrically contracts and narrows, kind of like the band hugging you inward.

When The Stack is aligned (ribcage over pelvis/ diaphragm over pelvic floor) and you inhale 360 degrees into the band, the TVA eccentrically contracts - lengthening and expanding in all directions.

The technical term for all of this is intra-abdominal pressure (IAP): a balanced, three-dimensional expansion through the trunk that helps regulate pressure, support, and stability. The band is so helpful to feel it.

If you want to learn more, send me a message and I’ll send you the link to the 20% off presale for our newest course, Movement Method 101: Core Curriculum.

How do you hide a lesson on the swing phase of gait in a 60 minute class? Just like this. Break it down into bite size pieces to feel all of the components on their own, figure out where there might be limitations, and work on them.

And then put it all together to help you improve the way you walk, which is exactly what we human beings were evolved to do.

My last class was all about the stance phase of gait (take that one first!) and this is swing phase - the other half.

It’s called Swing Flow, now up on @movementmethod.co.

Do you believe me that I don’t walk around the world obsessing? I try not to. But on a steep hike, I’m definitely thinking about.

There’s a reason I say internal rotation of the hip so many times in this video. Most of us are seriously lacking AFIR - acetabular femoral internal rotation - meaning the pelvis moving on the femur.

It’s a key ingredient to the stance phase of gait (shifting onto the weight bearing leg), and you’ll do a lot of it in this class. We hit the whole cross corset connection.

Class is called Swing Flow, now up on @movementmethod.co. Swing is up next!!!

What a beautiful weekend. Incredible people, the most perfect venue, clear sunny skies, little adventures, and big laughs. These retreats truly light me up. 💛

@nectaryoga exceeded all my expectations. I can’t wait to be back Sept 25-27 (just a few spots left), and three more times in 2027. It really is the most perfect getaway. ✨

On my retreat last weekend, someone asked how much my teaching has changed over the years. A couple of women who’ve known me forever surprised me by saying it hasn’t. That I still guide them with clear cues into places they didn’t realize they could go. With rhythm and flow.

In my mind, I’ve done a total 180. For more than a decade, I taught yoga working toward peak poses. Handstands. Drop backs. Arm balances. The shapes that look impressive from the outside.

These days, I’m way more interested in exercises that make us better movers in real life - like the DNS Star. Because muscles don’t adapt from hanging out in static holds. They adapt when they move through their full range.

I still love the rhythm and flow of Vinyasa. That hasn’t gone anywhere, and I’m so happy to hear that the vibe I had 10 years ago lives on.

But these days, I’m trading in the peak poses for movements that actually carry over into daily life.

There’s a new Build a DNS Star class now up on @movementmethod.co. ⭐️

Got a little sporty with this one.
Most hinge work happens bilaterally - deadlifts, good mornings, all great stuff.
But your body moves one leg at a time, with rotation.
That’s where the kickstand hinge and chop come in.
Add rotation, load the back of the hip, create space where most people feel stuck.
Also… that leaning table top hinge?�Spicy. 🌶

Kickstand Hinge to Chop is live on @movementmethod.co
