ABOUT MY COURSES
CHALLENGE, COMMITMENT, CONNECTION, ENDURANCE, GROWTH, AND DEPTH:
As a Foundation Training teacher, I want to be continually challenged and learning from my students and my practice. Teaching is a very important part of my life. I don’t see it only as teaching, I see it as an education for me. When I teach, it offers an opportunity for me to learn from my students and it gives me a sense of meaning and purpose because it is also an opportunity to create something from the challenges and experiences of my life.
Foundation Training courses are a series of classes designed to fit together, cohesively. Each class relates and builds off of the last class. In a course, the same group of committed students come on a weekly basis and learn in a progressive and cumulative sequence of instruction. This predictable and structured approach provides a reliable framework, allowing students to build confidence and progress with each session. Familiarity with exercises fosters a sense of mastery, empowering students to excel in their practice. This format leads to truly phenomenal growth.
This is one of the best platforms for learning to take place because it invites students to commit to themselves and to a practice. Developing a practice is about developing a relationship with your body, emotions, thoughts, conditioning… with yourself, which is ultimately a solo endeavor. The group’s commitment helps tremendously with the endurance it takes to weather the storms of a challenging individual task. Knowing that each individual is finding a way to come to the time we have chosen to do this work together and finding a way to work towards something they want for themselves, despite the challenges of life, gives a feeling of “togetherness” that is incredibly supportive. It can be hard to hold what’s true for ourselves alone. The sense of a shared value or a shared commitment that is created by a group is affirming and helpful.
Through this commitment, the practice is given an opportunity to integrate into life and creates a dialogue and inquiry into the ways in which we can grow. This learning structure is an opportunity for insight on physical and emotional freedom to flood in. A course is the place for a student to make leaps and bounds in their practice.
This format is steeped in the traditions of learning movement, where knowledge is transmitted from teacher to student over time. Foundation Training courses are set-up to build, which helps both the students and the teacher to develop a strong relationship and witness growth in their personal practice. The students and the teacher get to experience the depth that comes from learning with each other year round. It also opens up the joy of a shared language, experience, and consistent class environment. This is one of the best platforms for a teacher to truly connect and help their students.
“Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or, it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which [people] deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world” -Paulo Freire
PHASE 1-7 DESCRIPTIONS
ABOUT PHASES:
Foundation Training is learned sequentially. Each phase builds upon the skills and strength gained in the last. Students work their way from phase 1 – phase 7.
INTRO LEVEL: PHASE 1
If you have not practiced Foundation Training with me before you will begin with the intro course. The intro course covers phase 1 of learning Foundation Training. Phase 1 covers the fundamentals and principles of FT. Everything you will learn in Foundation Training classes builds from these principles.
In Phase 1 You Will Learn:
- How to find neutral curves of the spine and develop a central channel
- How posture affects breath and how breath affects posture
- Anchoring
- Decompression Breathing
- Hip hinging
- Healthy shoulder movement patterns
- How to move from your center of gravity
Poses You Will Learn:
- Decompression Breathing
- Anchoring
- Arm positions (Measuring Sticks, Long Wing, Sphere of Tension)
- Standing Decompression
- Lunge Decompression
- Wide Founder
- Woodpecker
- Supine Decompression
- Prone Decompression
- Seated Decompression
In phase one we learn the principles of Foundation Training. With these principles you create a foundation of space both in your posture and in your movement. This is the space where you heal, stabilize, strengthen, and thrive. Everything you will learn in Foundation Training classes builds off of these principles.
PHASE 2: COUNTERACT GRAVITY
- Focus on the impact of gravity, learn how to counteract it and how to use the pull of gravity on your body as an opportunity.
- Learn to identify where you are collapsing into gravity & the patterns where you are moving passively into compression.
- Counteract hip external rotation (turning out) and shoulder internal rotation (turning in) that impinge on nerves near the joints.
- Learn to challenge our center of gravity by integrating dynamic movement.
- Establish a core that remains at your center.
POSES:
- Everything Prior +
- Founder
- Integrated Hinge
- Woodpecker Integrated Hinge
- Anchored Back Extension
- Supine Leg Trace
- Anchored Bridge
PHASE 3: TENSIONED LENGTH
- Understand and feel proper glute functioning. Re-pattern isolated glute clenching to posterior muscle chain integration.
- Find controlled tension in muscles when they are stretched long to generate space and stability rather than create compressed tightness. Focus on tensioned length in the muscle chains.
- Lead from your hips so transitions strengthen your core and develop the posterior chain.
Poses:
- Everything Prior +
- Internal Founder
- Woodpecker Rotation
- Kneeling Founder
- Squat
- Get Down Get Up
PHASE 4: THORACIC EXPANSION
- Notice the amount of space in the thoracic cage (section of the spine that your ribs connect to) and work to create more.
- Provide mobility in the ribcage to be able to breathe bigger and position the neck and shoulders to move with freedom.
- Utilize the largest muscle of the upper body (latissimus dorsi or “lats”) in its proper stabilizing role.
Poses:
- Everything Prior +
- Forward Fold
- 8 Point Plank
- Gorilla Lift
- Thoracic Levers
PHASE 5: SPIRALING LIFT
- Unwind your body to get the space for balanced, pain-free movement, spiraling up like a barber shop pole rather than compressing down like a slinky toy.
- Build rotation patterns that are initiated from the pelvis with the largest muscles (glutes & lats) building elastic/spring energy for force generation.
- Move your body in all planes to create stability in a 3D world full of unexpected changes.
Poses:
- Everything Prior +
- Spiral Lunge
- Archer
- Reverse Archer
- Lateral Hinge
- Half Kneeling Spiral
- Half Kneeling Woodpecker Rotation
PHASE 6: POWER DEVELOPMENT
- Integrate the previous five phases into a posture of stability and pattern of movement that builds resilient power.
- Challenge the endurance of your muscles with lengthened glutes & lats, an expansive thoracic cage, and rotational lifting.
- Notice your automatic patterns in posture and movement and how you can consciously change them.
- Re-explore all Phases. Foundation training doesn’t get easier, you just get better at it. Coming back to the basics can be profound at this level.
Poses:
- All of them +
- Standing Leg Trace
- Surf Squat
- Windmill
PHASE 7: INTEGRATION
There are actually only 6 phases of learning Foundation Training! I made up “Phase 7” for students who have completed phases 1-6 with a certified Foundation Training instructor, who already know how to do all the movements, but don’t want to stop!
THIS IS A COURSE FOR STUDENTS WHO:
- Want a guided practice session together to have a weekly check-in with their bodies and a Foundation Training “tune-up”
- Want to keep learning, practicing and growing
- Feel the whole body transformation that a weekly Foundation Training practice offers and want to stay in that stream
- Know that there are more layers of possibility for learning, growth, acceptance, and health in their bodies and want to keep finding out what is possible
- Get insight and inspiration through working with a teacher
- Thrive on the support of the group’s shared commitment to building themselves up in a way that is important to them
IN THIS COURSE:
-
Go deeper with the principles
-
Learn more layers of anatomy
-
Finesse & re-learn phase 1 – 6
-
Try more difficult and creative ways of sequencing that demand endurance through compound movement patterns
-

PHASE 7
There are actually only 6 phases of learning Foundation Training! I made up “Phase 7” for students who have completed phases 1-6 with a certified Foundation Training instructor, who already know how to do all the movements, but don’t want to stop!
Class length will vary from 60-75 minutes to allow time for deeper exploration when needed.
THE PHASE 7 COURSE IS FOR STUDENTS WHO:
- Want an hour-long + practice session together to have a weekly check-in with their bodies and a Foundation Training “tune-up”
- Want to keep learning, practicing and growing
- Feel the whole body transformation that a weekly Foundation Training practice offers and want to stay in that stream
- Know that there are more layers of possibility for learning, growth, acceptance, and health in their bodies and want to keep finding out what is possible

CLASS STRUCTURE
Each class is designed as an immersive learning experience that centers around a Foundation Training practice.
CLASS LENGTH:
Fall | Phase 7 = 60-75 minutes
Class length ranges from 60-75 minutes with approximately 45 – 60 minutes of that devoted to Foundation Training movements and practice. The remaining class time is used to support learning, embodiment, structural change and greater access to the work.
In addition to the Foundation Training practice, classes include a variety of complementary tools and explorations woven in, depending on the focus and needs of the day, including:
- Nervous system / self-regulation practices to settle, center and become present
- Warm-ups and movement preparation
- Anatomy lessons & embodied anatomy exploration
- Muscle and fascial work using balls to open up the body, increase our ability to do the practice and embody the anatomy we are learning
- Movement explorations, drills and skill dives to increase our understanding of the principles behind the practice.
- Prop-Based Work: We may use props like stretchy Thera-Bands, glute resistance bands, yoga blocks, dowels, chairs, straps, sliders & the wall
- Movement breakdowns, progressions and individualized growth points
- Breathing Practices
- Integrative rest at the end of class
No two classes are exactly the same. Each class builds from the last class. While Foundation Training remains the core of the work, I draw from a wide range of embodiment and movement tools to help students better understand, access and integrate the principles we are practicing, as well as create the bridges between other practices they are doing and the movement patterns of life.

- Breathing Practices
- Integrative rest at the end of class
No two classes are exactly the same. Each class builds from the last class. While Foundation Training remains the core of the work, I draw from a wide range of embodiment and movement tools to help students better understand, access and integrate the principles we are practicing, as well as create the bridges between other practices they are doing and the movement patterns of life.
