Like oil for your hinges, this series is designed to help you move through life more freely and efficiently. Every class starts with basic ROM (range of motion) drills called CARs (controlled articular rotations), which are great for assessing the current range of motion your joints have available. After exploring our joints full range we get into more dynamic movement patterns with a focus on moving with control. Expect a laid back teaching style that aims to inspire practitioners to learn or feel something new in each class.
