Week 1: Pelvic Floor and Core Awareness
This week focuses on developing awareness and control of the pelvic floor and core muscles through intentional breathwork and targeted movement. You will learn to activate and coordinate your core muscles - crucial for spine stability and overall movement control, by linking breath with movement to allow for efficient activation and better control throughout your practice. You will start with isolated exercises, progressing to more integrated movements that connect upper and lower body.
Week 2: Stability
Building on Week 1, this session emphases stability through controlled, dissociative movements. You will challenge balance and coordination by introducing elements of instability learning to recruit and strengthen stabilising muscles to support safe and efficient movement. This prepares the body for more advanced dynamic exercises by ensuring proper joint control through mindful movement.
Week 3: Mobility
This week introduces dynamic, full-body movements designed to enhance joint mobility through a complete range of motion. We will focus on the spine, shoulders, and hips, integrating techniques from the previous weeks to maintain control and precision. The goal is to improve mobility while simultaneously strengthening stabilising muscles.
Week 4: Strength
The final week centres on building strength through advanced, dynamic movements. Targeting key muscle groups, such as; the core, glutes, shoulders, and quads - you will develop endurance through controlled, precise movements. Breath, stability, and mobility principles will be incorporated throughout to ensure a balanced and effective practice.
