Functional Mobility
A session to mobilse and correct muscular imbalances to help prevent injury,ease aches, and find deep release.
I have found lasting benefit in mobility exercises that nourish fascia, release tight muscles, strengthen weak muscles and correct postural alignment to aid moving more freely.This session aims to bring focus to approaches that prevent common issues and promote healthy ageing – supporting you in all the activities you love.
Generally, mobility work is hugely overlooked and it is a wonderful movement method. Small equipment makes the exercises enjoyable: balls, sticks, foam shapes, bands, loops and rollers, can be used realistically at home for a daily practice.
This class is about empowering you to take control of your movement health, teaching a huge range of inspiring exercises for you to explore, and find the ones that work for you.
Wellness topics are infused into the session to gain a clearer understanding of how movement affects us holistically.
Up and coming Functional Mobility Sessions:
November Session: Shoulder Function
Friday 29th 11.15-12.15
The Hidden Yurt, St Erth.
One of the best things we can do for good shoulder function is mobilise the upper back region known as the thoracic spine. Lots of folding over desks and devices can leave us rounded, dropping the shoulder forward. It’s a common problem that can put the shoulder out-of-whack. Plus, stiffness in the thoracic spine will also put more strain on your lower back and neck as well as the shoulders.
In this session we will be releasing general tightness at the front of the shoulder area, mobilising the thoracic spine, exploring stability, and strengthening the back of the shoulder and blade area.
We’ll explore lots of accessible movements using simple small equipment.
Don’t worry, the rest of the body comes along too…

Hip Freedom
‘If there is one area my clients love – it’s when they learn techniques to release restriction and tightness in the hip region.
I once heard it described as ‘tooth ache in the hips’…a constant dull ache that won’t seem to go away. A general issue here could be too much chair-sitting, and it’s invaluable to know how to regularly diffuse the negative influence this has on muscles.
I’ve put together a session that apple-picks from simple biomechanics, Pilates, self-myofascial release and varied mobilising.
Just ‘stretching out’ won’t cut it. We need to go a little deeper into the function and then give you the tools and knowledge to help prevent uncomfortable tightness, restriction and unnecessary wear & tear.
The class is taught with a relaxed and self-soothing approach. I expect you will find much of this work very enjoyable and I incorporate various small equipment.
Who is this for?
This is a low level session of slow exploratory movements and you need to be able to get up and down from a mat. There won’t be any chairs but I use poles to help with support/balance when needed.
Please reserve your space. £10 for the session
