'A Little Less Conversation' and a little more
action in this class. The aim being to reduce any
'Shake, Rattle & Roll' you may be feeling in the
pelvis and everything that attaches to it. We'll
address some common issues and of course blend
in some breathing and movement to leave you

Restoring Shoulder Flexion has 3 parts to it. Firstly we need a dynamic rib cage that supports the shoulder blades fully. Secondly we need shoulder blades that glide comfortably across that rib cage. Finally we need shoulders that allow the arms to lift. We're going to address all 3 of those area...

The Kettlebell Windmill is a fantastic full body exercise. It challenges our ability to both stabilise and express strength in the shoulders, midline and hips. So in this Kinstretch Plus class we're going to work the various parts in isolation before bringing it all together at the end. (N.B. a k...

This week we'll take a deep dive into all things wrists and fists. We'll keep a RESET mindset as we navigate lines of tension in both wrist extension and flexion. Level 2 CARs will help layer in new capacity, with a chance to test it all with some press up variations at the end. Enjoy.

Having capacity in Shoulder Internal Rotation is fundemental regardless of what you like to do with your shoulders and so should not be overlooked.

Atheletic prowess is rooted in our ability to open and close the hips quickly and powerfully. The glutes and proximal hamstrings (back of the upper leg) are fundemental for this to happen efficently and effectively. This class is going to explore finding a more neutral position at the pelvis so t...

For many of us a deep and comfortable squat position can be as elusive as the mythical sassquatch creature. The aim of this class is to demystify some of the important points limiting our squat position and then of course build some capcity there. So by the time we're done you're squat will be fu...

Isometric Movement Pathways (Iso MP's) are utilised in Kinstretch to help us transition from one base position to another. In this class we explore lots of Iso MP's and as we pass through each of the base positions we spend a little time there to do some work. Culminating in a nice, flowy, full b...

A mobile and dynamic ribcage that allows the diaphragm to efficently and effectively pump should always be one of the first areas we look to address when establishing quality human movement. Without this we are always building upon shaky foundations. This class will give you all of the key concep...

If you've been on the membership for a while you'll already know solving knee issues is often more to do with addressing movement at the ribs, pelvis and feet. However that doesn't mean we can't relieve some symptoms by building strength and mobility in the knee joint. This class will do just tha...

This is the ultimate class for getting yourself into a more downregulated state. Utilising co-regulation to help you access a deeper state of physiological calm, Lenny will guide you through detailed breathing technqiues, stretches targeting specific tissues, sensation based exercises and groundi...

The Good Morning is a fantastic exercise when utilised corrcetly. Unfortunately it can come with some prerequisites or at least an understanding of when or how to regress correctly. In this class we're going to pull the position apart, build those prerequisites and learn how to correctly progress...

Rolling on the ground is a great way to introduce and quickly progress rotational training. People that roll well on the ground rotate better when then on their feet. Rotating well improves everything from producing and transmitting power through the body, to simply walking less like a fridge fre...

Shoulders. Useful for showing indifference and quite helpful for a few other things too. The muscles that cap the shoulder joint are referred to as the deltoids. They have 3 heads (or parts) anterior, medial and posterior. This class will look at each of their function, show you how best to train...

Most of the classes we do at The Body School are a hybrid of Kinstretch, PRI and traditional strength training. However at times it's nice just to focus on the one approach and that's what we'll do in this class. A full body Kinstretch class which contains joint focused, end range training for ev...
