It's been a minute since we did any over head work. So this session is gonna be devoted to getting those arms in the air, so you can wave them like just don't care. Or maybe just get a T-shirt on without your shoulders screaming at you. Whether you're trying to nail a better handstand or just wan...

Being able to access the low kneeling position can be tricky for many people. It requires a lot of ankle plantar flexion with some inversion as well as deep knee flexion. So if you struggle with getting into or staying in this position, this class is for you. We're going to look at expanding and ...

In this class, we work on improving our forward fold by improving our ability to first shift our centre of mass backwards. Then we work on other elements of improving our forward fold (and subsequently good human movement) like our hips and pelvis. If you struggle to touch the ground or it feels ...

The Horse Stance is a position that is utilised in many asian martial arts but has also been adapted for weight lifting, gymnastics and many other forms of movement and sport. It requires the ability for the hips to flex, abduct and externally rotate. So in this session we are going to utilise th...

The arms need to be able to move back behind us. Whether you're talking about actions such as running, jumping or throwing or exercises such as bench press, press ups or dips. Their ability to do this is dependant on a dynamic and freely moving ribcage. So in this session we are going to look to ...

In this class, we give our shoulders some much needed love. Starting with the foundation on which they sit: the ribcage and scapula, we work some breathwork and challenging scap CARs. And then we dive in to some shoulder specific work finishing with some challenging shoulder CARs. Don't be surpri...

In this class we work through some key elements of core training that don't solely rely on working the abs through crunches and planks. A strong core is the foundation for our movement and being able to be strong in every direction and while moving is the key. We will work through some great opti...

In this class, we divide it in to two sections. In the first section (0-25 mins) we work on improving wrist range of motion and grip strength; a really important factor in longevity and something we should all pay more attention to. In the second section (25-47 mins) we focus on our neck. Startin...

The hip hinge is aruguably one of the hardest patterns to do well when in the gym. Deadlifts, Good Mornings, Bent Over Rows and many more exercises are reliant on a strong and stable hip hinge. However many of us find ourselves overly extended, relying on muscles around the lumbar spine and mid b...

"Breathwork stretches you from the inside out". So many of us are all caught up in our mid back from sitting too much, constantly being in a stressed state and/or from a lot of heavy strength training. This class utilises breathwork and movement to open up that mid back from the inside out.

A class devoted to those group of muscles located on the inside of the thigh known as the adductors. They play a vital role in posture, gait and just about any sport, exercise or activity involving the lower body. So whether your goals are postural or performance related, this is a great class fo...

Life is bleak without the obliques. A full and proper exhale is dependant on the obliques. Access to a neutral spinal position is dependant on the obliques. Pulling a pelvis out of strong anterior tilt is dependant on the obliques. Being able to maintain a strong stacked position requires strong ...

The triceps are the upper body equivalent of the hamstrings. Just like how the hamstrings are important in controlling the pelvis, the triceps have a key function in controlling the scapula and how they sit on the rib cage. This in turn plays a key role in upper body movement ability (as well as ...

Hip Flexion is a fundemental joint action regardless of what sport or activity you like to do. Having access to more of this range and more strength within the range is going to make you better at whatever you like to do. This class is focused on giving you both of those things. 💪

healthy hips that are robust and function well. In
this session Matt is going guide you through a
session that expands range of motion, builds
capacity and then utilises that range in more
global patterns. Those hips are gonna feel like
butter ...

This is a fully body class focusing on facilitating a better posture and movement of the stuff above and below the glutes in order to maximise our ability to use them. Your glutes are not lazy, but your movement above and below might be preventing them from working as well as they should. Change ...

In this class we work on improving out foot and ankle's ability to move and sense the environment (the ground) so that the calf and shin (tibialis anterior) muscles can do their job well and support the ankles and knees.
Equipment needed:
sock
pen
a book (big enough to put your whole foot on)

The six pack. Much sought after, often misunderstood and of late occasionally demonised. In this class we're going to learn how to properly intergrate this muscle with the other core muscles, some important points to look out for if it's become over-dominant and of course we're gonna build some c...

Forearms. We don't need to have a set like Popeye but we do need to have the ability to move the joints above and below them, grip with them and handle some load through them. This class focuses on a couple of ranges that many struggle with, that being elbow pronation and wrist extension. We expa...

Full Body: A classic from Queen in 1976 and now a classic Body School class in 2022. We'll be going head to toe using many of the stalwarts of the Kinstretch discography. Expect multiple base postions and challenging transitions that will help you connect with a body that you just have to love.

A lot of us are walking around with cranky knees. But often times, there is no real issue with the knee itself and more an issue of how we manage our weight and posture. If our centre of mass is forward, our knees have to work very hard to stop us falling forward. Until we sort this, all our kne...

In this class, we focus on the space between the shoulders (our thorax/ribcage area) before focusing on the shoulders themselves. Getting the thorax happy is crucial for having happy shoulders and allows us to provide a good foundation on which the shoulders can do their thing! Prepare for butter...

Full Body. This session is all about exploring. Exploring what positions we can get into using a technique called Isometric Movement Pathways. The session will flow from one base position to the next but we'll be taking our time to do some work in each. This will be a top to toe workout that will...
