23 Minute Upper Body Roll

Hi Loves,

This quick class is all about relaxing your torso. We'll comb through the ribcage to mobilize your mid back, upper back and end on the pecs. 

22 minutes is a BANANAS amount of time and I promise it will be the quickest one I put up here. Let me know if you like this amount of time?!

Enjoy. :)<...

1 minute check-in poll! I want to hear from you.

Hi Buds!

So sorry to inundate you with content today. As you know, Fridays are the day it all comes at ya. In fact, I'd like to get a sense of how or when you're using the content that's coming toward you. Will you take a sec to answer this question and PLEASE feel free to leave a longer comment if you want to explain m...

Inner Thigh for Hip Restriction and Knee Pain

Hey Guys!

I love this technique and I forget how much I need it until I drop down and do it every few weeks. 

I've attached an image of your adductors so you can imagine for yourself how restricted your hip mobility might feel if they're super tight. Also, notice that the adductor magnus attaches way down on ...

58 Minute Full Body Foam Roll

I dare you to take just half of this class. I went back and forth a few times about whether I'd just give you a quickie or not, but I couldn't. This is too good and too needed!

This class covers the patterns of forward flexion, so we are big on releasing the whole front of the body in order to relax the back of the body...

Pec Release on the Roller

Dudes,

You gotta know that this is one of the most powerful ways to change your shoulder tension AND your posture. Pec tension is present when we have a forward-roll of our shoulders, and/or if the elbows are down at our sides habitually. Most of us have both these things going on. 

If the front of the body i...

50 Minute Neck Stretch and Roll

This is a deep, stretchy dive into the neck, friends. I recommend doing this 50 minute neck intensive after a workout or some other activity where you're already a little warm, but it will be effective even if you don't.

You'll need a foam roller and to tennis/pinky/lacrosse balls.

Throw some groovy, relaxing tune...

23 Minute Deep Stretch

Hello my Friends,

Today's tidbit is actually a stretch sequence. This is really different than things I have released in the past. 

I wanted to share with you a series of stretches that I rely on to keep my fascia loose. This sequence feels like that first stretch you take when you wake up in the morning, but...

27 Minute Upper Body Roll

Hi Rollers,

I love that we're fitting in a quick 27 minutes of rolling this weekend! This quickie is the second half of LAST WEEK's class, so if you want a full hour just put 'em together. ;)

Start by putting on some mellow tunes in your space, then grab your roller and sit on the floor with it. Here's what's insi...

32 Minute Lower Body Roll

Hello Fam,

This half-hour rolling sesh is PERFECT for post-exercise, whatever that means for you (workout, walk, hike, gardening, etc).

It's heavy on the stretching and will super open up your hips, knees and hamstrings. Because of it's stretchy nature, it will also help alleviate tension in your low back. Here's ...

The Lateral Line - A Fascial Stretch

As a Fascial Stretch Therapist, my brain does not think of the body in muscles or even muscle groups, but in lines.  Through the fascia, the foot is connected to the skull and the internal organs are connected to the neck. The pain point in y...

60 Minute Full Body Class

Guys, lol. If you're new here please don't take this as the face value of our class quality.

First off, the class itself here is magnificent and you can't miss it. Make the time. You'll want a roller and two tennis balls/pinky balls/lacrosse balls. Mainly though, while I bought us a fancy new m...

The Ankle Mobilizer

Hey, Buds!

Thanks for requesting this one last week (leave a comment below to request something new for next week!) because it's such a slept-on spot. 

This is the move for when you've been on your feet all day and your legs need a blood-flow boost, or when you're rolling your calves and feet with no results....

The Occipital Ridge

What occiwhaat? Lol. This one is for the base of the skull and ALL the muscles that attach to it from your neck. To paraphrase today's newsletter, these little sub-occipital muscles often work so hard to hold up our heads. Check out this graphic: 2023-05-19 16:29:37 +0000 UTC View Post

What's the tidbit this week?

Hey Rollers! I've got a mental block this week about which foam rolling tidbit to give to you. What do you need? Comment below or select one of these options!

59 Minute Full Body Roll Class

Hi Rollers,

I am so pleased to send this class today. This class really hits the mark in terms of pacing, stress relief and tension release. It just felt SO GREAT. Take the whole thing--go on! I dare you to try and leave halfway through. 😂 It feels so good that you won't want to so just carve out the time for yoursel...

Rotator Cuff Technique

Hey Buddies!

If there is a masterpiece of a technique, this is it. 

The rotator cuff is involved in basic shoulder function and if it's dysfunctional at all, other muscles groups in your shoulder (and even your neck) will have to work harder to carry out basic tasks. In turn, those muscle groups become overlo...

The Belly Technique

Comin' to you from my backyard today! Let's roll your belly. You'll need either a soft roller, or a soft ball. Watch more for better details. And also...sorry for the slanted angle. Driving me a little nuts. ;)

This area is loaded with emotion and tension, mainly because about 97% of your sensory nerves live here. Relea...

30 Minute Upper Body Roll

Guys. So good. I think we really set the tone for this one with the belly. This class focuses on belly, hip flexors and rotator cuff. This is a get-sh*t done type of half hour. If your upper body is needing a physical reset, then this class is for you. This class won't leave you feeling ooey-gooey, so it's perfect for the mor...

54 Minute Full Body Roll

Hey Loves,

My laptop is still in the shop after a water damage incident, so instead of processing a fresh video, I'm pulling one from the archives. Just as great, though!

AlthoughI wanted to add a shortie this week and couldn't, this class is one of those where you intend to take part of it, and just end up stayin...

Hamstring Strum

Hey Loves,

My laptop is still in the shop after a water damage incident, so instead of processing a fresh video, I'm pulling one from the archives. Just as great, though!

This technique is for tender hamstrings, or hamstrings that lack blood flow. If you're sitting most of your days, this one is phenomenal for bri...

54 Minute Full Body Roll

Hey Champs,

This class had a lot of leg and hip requests, so we didn't skimp on time there. Upper body is quick but gets the job done! Here's what's inside:

- inner thighs

- inner quads

- glutes/hips

- front/outer quads

- calves

- upper back

- rotator cuff

- triceps

...

33 Minute Leg and Hip Release

Yo Bros,

This one is all about those leggies. Don't worry too much, it ends with an upper back roll. 😆  Really though, for the most part you're working both sides of the lower leg and a deeper dive on the calves, too. Some hamstrings, some hips. If you need a circulation boost or some deeper calf work, this is y...

25 Minute, Two Ball Class

Okay this week's tidbit is actually the second part of last night's foam rolling class!

I chopped the class in half because the second part of it was all done with two pinky balls. If you have tennis balls, those work great. Lacrosse balls, same. I wanted to share these moves with you because two tennis balls are so eas...

Rotator Cuff and Tricep Technique

I’ve been thinking lately about how powerful this singular, easy rotator cuff technique is for three different reasons:

1. It makes you realize that the rotator cuff is not an ambiguous, delicate area that can only be understood by pros. It’s yours and it’s tangible! And it’s made up of just ...
