About Our Workshops & Classes

Our workshop series create space for sensory experiences and empirical data, supporting grounded adaptation through relational biological models. Our teachings are inspired by the legacies of Dr. Guy Voyer, Professor Robert Rosen, and Dr. Peter Levine, alongside Amy’s creative exploration and professional experience in SomaTraining, Osteopathy, Professional Dance, and various other healing modalities.

Our first video series is about organizing posture and movement. It is comprised of 4 workshops that teach the body how to organize against gravity and intrinsically to create stability, movement efficiency and mobility. 

To support the workshop series we have exercise videos, organized by anatomy, that support coherent development within their mist immediate relationships. For example, “gluteus medius” is a category. Videos in the category include mini classes called “intrinsic”, “adductor”, “vastus lateralis”, “glute minimus and maximus” and “stretching”. Each mini class includes the appropriate relational strength and endurance capacity with these relationships and in terms of phasic or tonic exercises. This, alone, is a huge step toward conditioning a resilient tensegrity structure. If the glute medius is trained in balance with the adductors, quads and intrinsically within the anterior, middle and posterior fibers, it will have a high chance of supporting the balance of tension of the joint in interfaces. The “stretching” section includes stretches for the different fibers along with regionally relevant anatomy. 

We also offer pre-recorded classes that span many areas of the body and several intentions – strength, endurance, stretching, mobility, awareness, proprioception. 

The ultimate goals of our workshop series, exercise library and classes are to support movement autonomy, resilient tensegrity posture and health.
