How I’ve been moving lately!
This spring I’m celebrating freedom AND transformation. The freedom to move, the freedom to feel, the freedom to live in a way that’s closer to what’s real. 🙌
The track has become a staple part of my authentic self. Growing up a runner, I thrived in my element until injuries held me back. With a new focus on maintenance AND prevention I’ve been able to recover from things that set me back for years…
Now I’m working on some exciting things with the help of @elsewheremvmt that I’m excited to share in greater detail with our community soon 🫶
That being said, foot health has become a major factor on my road to recovery. Finding what combination of therapies works best has improved my overall performance. None of this would have been possible if I wasn’t wearing the proper shoes, intentionally. This is a MUST.
So what’s freedom look like in your world?
For a limited time only @vivobarefoot is hooking my homies up throughout the month of May. So if you’re interested in trying something new and training your feet differently, hit the link in my bio for more info. Let’s free those feet together 🤝

monday mvmt ~ the flow to pistol squat
1. The wave sound instrument
→ arrive, soften, land in the body
2. Supine legs up the wall
→ foot articulation to wake up the feet + ankles
3. Single leg bridge (tempo)
→ up 1, down 3
→ build posterior chain + control
4. Single leg stretch
→ precision + dynamic tempo with breath
5. Boat pose → roll back
→ deep core + spinal control
6. Seated hip flexor step-over
→ tap leg up and over block
**Slide blanket under heel for tactile feedback + foot activation
7. Kneeling lunge → dynamic back knee hover
→ exhale to find hip extension
→ continue using blanket for grounding + awareness through the foot
8. Slow knee drive balance
→ control the transition, own the standing leg
9. Eagle prep flow (side to side)
→ explore crossing midline + hip stability
10. Standing modified head-to-knee prep
→ length + balance + compression
11. Pistol squat
→ block under foot for feedback
→ or blanket under heel (as Élan demoed) to find access
Everything along this journey is the work. Each step builds center, stability, and strong hips, whether or not you land the pistol squat!
Happy practicing friends!

mvmt monday with elsewhere ~ 360 core
taking core off the “back” this week + weaving it head to toe.
always building smart progressions to prep the body + support the work.
1. 90/90 leg swings → forward/back
flowing into pigeon prep → pelvis glides forward to lunge
2. KB bear plank pull through
3. KB halo + kneeling static hold variations
•option 1: block press to ground the back knee + find hip extension
•option 2: hover for balance + stability
4. KB around the world → take it to your toes
-add a soft sissy squat hinge if you want a little extra spice
5. KB Reverse Lunge Torso Twist Knee Drive
move with intention and let everything build from the ground up. We’ve been cooking up so much to share, can’t wait to continue growing our method with you!

Monday MVMT · Slow Flow
Moving with breath.
Letting the body soften and organize.
• Supported heart bench
Breath expands behind the ribs.
• Kneeling lunge cat + cow
Slow spinal waves to open the hips and low back.
• Kneeling thoracic rotation (low dip)
Gentle rotation with an inner-thigh opening.
• Low lunge arc twist
Breath lifts up and over, creating space.
• 90 | 90 rotation or for our yin lovers - deer pose;) + pause
Rib cage leads. Settle into breath and the outer front hip.
Move slow.
Breathe fully.
Take what’s there.
A special thank you to the @vuoriclothing team for such quality sets that move with us.
Grateful for the team who support local fitness professionals with such care. It truly strengthens the communities we move within.

Humans are commonly biased.
We breathe, stand, and move in patterns that favor one side of the body. Over time, the pelvis and rib cage adapt around that bias.
Problems show up when one side consistently does more work and the other side has less access. Load isn’t shared evenly, breath becomes limited, and movement efficiency drops.
This workshop focuses on repositioning, restoring access so both sides can participate more equally. The goal isn’t perfect symmetry, but better coordination and load sharing.
We work with pelvic mechanics, rib cage positioning, and breath. When the rib cage stacks over the pelvis and pressure is managed well, the diaphragm can support posture and movement without excessive tension. Breath becomes a tool for repositioning rather than bracing.
Pilates exposes side-to-side differences quickly. Strength training reveals how those differences affect load. Together, they help redistribute work so movement feels more supported and less forced.
Led by Chandler + Élan with support from chiropractor and movement specialist Dr. Jodie Gibson, this workshop is an exploration of common movement bias and how to create better options.
More details on how to join this workshop - coming soon!

Creativity and athletic movement share the same language.
Attention. Repetition. Refinement.
Play opens the field. Structure gives it shape.
Clarity is what emerges.

Monday MVMT is all about the stack.
Feet → calves → ankles → knees → hips.
Naturally hinging joints, built with intention.
Each movement layers safety and progression, preparing you for the main expression: the standing sissy squat. Everything before it trains the same functions — just scaled, supported, and accessible.
Go full range if it’s there.
Or meet each movement where you are and build toward it.
Same goal. Different entry points. Strong, resilient movement forward.
