Sometimes people will be more likely to try out a studio with a lower level of commitment (just 6 weeks) instead of signing up for an ongoing membership. But being able to work with clients consistently for 6 weeks is a great way…

Scheduling can be a toughie since it’s going to vary so much depending on your market. Clients in bigger cities tend to want early mornings and evenings after work. Lunchtime express classes can work well too. More suburban areas will likely prefer mid-morning.

I’d suggest asking clients what times are best for them. And then…

Rotations in the transverse plane use more of the upper and middle back. Lateral flexion will bring in more obliques. Either are a great way to teach Superman with the…

Cranky, achey, or tight low back? Let’s check in with one exercise in particular — Superman (Prone Back Extension). If you’re lifting the lower body, you’re likely targeting more of the glutes and low back (paraspinal muscles specifically). Nothing wrong…

See Saw is a uniquely effective exercise to target the hamstrings (and glutes). Why?

It’s because the peak of the work happens when the muscles are in their lengthened state.You dynamically stretch the hamstrings while you work them!

It goes hand in hand with the 3-points of connection we want to cue when connecting to the core.

Here’s the thing, though. If you’re not exhaling through pursed lips when connecting to your core, you’re not connecting as deeply as you could be.
