Stretching and STILL not getting results?

Mobility has more to do with strength, stability, joint health, tissue quality and body control....than stretching.

Flexibility - Mobility

Strength - Stability - Body Control - Joint Health

Tissue quality - Biological & Neurological Adaptations

Muscle patterns - Proprioception - Efficiency

What people Are Saying

  • My entire life has been changed by following your program! The Movement 101 exercises help me to regulate my nervous system, move more freely, and most importantly - get to know and love my body for all its wondrous capabilities. -Donna Hopkins

  • Today is the first time I can actually feel my hips being more open. I always thought it was my lower back that was weak but it was actually my tight hip joints. LIFE CHANGING!!!!  - Nicky Read

  • I'm absolutely impressed and amazed by the quality of content in this program. Every single video I tried has given me immediate relief, something I rarely experience.  Thank you!!  -Virginia Conde

  • I just wanted to tell you that I love your programs. This has been a game changer for me. Many injuries over the years from life and running. Can’t thank you enough. I am a PT and had been getting more back pain. I do these classes at lunch and at night. I feel like a different person. I started with the 30d Kinstretch in February, did some of the strength training, now I am in your pelvic floor program.

  • Just wanted to offer praise and gratitude! Im an exercise scientist with an athletic therapy | yoga therapy and kinesiology background. You are awesome!  I love the bits of brilliance. And this is such a refreshing outlook. I’m so looking forward to being inspired, sharing and learning. Thank you !  - Ann Greene

  • I’ve been a member for less than a week, and I’m hooked! I come from a yoga/somatics background and this stuff is the bomb! Glad to be here. - Rhonda Schlesinger

  • The stack series was the best comprehensive explanation and exploration of the dynamics of core organization I've ever heard. Putting together DNS, PRI and current lit on the core being a pressure system is an important contribution to the movement world. I hope this trickles through to the Pilates, Yoga and Personal Training world asap! - Heather Dennis

  • I just wanted to thank you for such an amazing course—this 30 day mobility challenge has truly been life changing (and I’ve tried A LOT of different workout programs in the past most of which resulted in injury lol).

It's made all the difference for a long-standing chronic hip issue I've been plagued by and I'm better able to do all my fun activities with less pain. I'm a physician assistant in the States and your expertise has also been helpful for making recommendations for patients as well. -Kelsey

  • Total game changer. I just completed the hip week and I honestly feel like crying tears of joy. My hips feel incredible. have always struggled with pinching and chronic tightness. This is the first time walking feels normal. Truly incredible.  Now I cannot wait to move on to shoulders.  I am really looking forward to continuing this journey and sharing it with all of you. Michelle, finding your page has genuinely been the best thing the algorithm has done! - Virginia Conde

  • "I also want to let you know what a gift your online movement library is.  I have never felt so strong and aligned!  I do at least 3 of your videos a week - love the strength ones, and the hip and spine game changers from the 30 day challenge.  "  Catherine Strickland

  • SIMPLY THE BEST.  I've had quite a few memberships - some were good, some great  but Movement 101 stands above all of them - unique combination of FRC, DNS, PRI, ELDOA and other methods is brilliant. Michelle genuinely wants to help the best possible way. -Peter Hanc

  •  As a trainer myself ( I did the FRC and kinstretch course) I was looking for someone who was a bit further than me and found Michelle on instagram. Michelle gave a lot of extra inside information which you can only gather from EXPERIENCE.  I learned  a lot about my own body but also how to cooperate FRC/kinstretch better in my personal training session.  If you are a trainer and looking for the extra mile, DO THIS COURSE it makes you a better mover and also a better trainer.  - Wouter Van Aalst

  • You are a genius 🔥 🙌 . - Parry 

  • YOUR CLASSES ARE INCREDIBLE, so beautifully sequenced and such intelligent cuing. You are encouraging without being too overwhelming, I so appreciate your balance.  I am a yoga teacher. As I take your classes and I end up pausing so often just to take notes on everything you are saying. I could listen to you talk all day!  It's my dream to be able to take all the trainings you have some day,  Thank you again! -Amelia P

  • Your membership has FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. The quality of your classes, YOUR LEVEL OF EXPERTISE and EXPERIENCE sets it apart from anything else. Great work. - GORD

  • Thank you so much Michelle for the course and being such an AMAZING TEACHER. My body and my mind have learnt and experienced a lot.  I am so grateful for being a part of this and for your SUPPORT. Thank you!   - Priyabrata 

  • I'll just say this is what I've been looking for. Movement 101 NAILED IT. Great videos, awesome website, very user friendly  - William Prince

  • THE WHOLE COURSE WAS AMAZING. Everything just appeared to flow smoothly and easily and at the end, it was a surprise to feel muscles that it didn't seem that we were even working very hard.  Your course has been PURE GOLD.   I've gotten so much out of it and will continue. IT WAS A 5 STAR EXPERIENCE. Thanks very much!   - Elizabeth Zweck 

  • I absolutely love love your work!!! I am doing the 30 day challenge and I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH BETTER I FEEL!!! This is the BEST gift I could get for myself!!! I am learning so much!!!

  • Thank you! I've been doing CARs for a couple of years but the PAILS and Rails really is a whole new beast for me. IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. You explain things so well and the classes fly by. It is wonderful stuff you are offering. - Jennifer Erickson

  • YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION! I have regained significant hip mobility and stability through PAILS and RAILS, and perform my CARs daily! I can always hear you in the back of my mind "if you're not shaking, you're not working hard enough"!   - napelazy

  • I just signed up for your membership yesterday and I'M LOVING IT. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to create the content that you do. I appreciate you!   - PARRY MATTE

  •   What a comprehensive class! So much incredible information packed into this, I CAN'T WAIT TO RETAKE IT and try to absorb more information. I love how you help us asses along the way to see what our greatest need is for improvement.  - Amelia P

  • Huge thanks!  I will continue devouring your classes!  I love how clear and specific you are with your cueing. IT FEELS GREAT!   Adrienne

  • I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOU. I try to tell everyone I can about your classes and how much they've meant to me. I've been a swimmer for 22 years, a spin instructor for 12, did triathlon for 5, bike racing for 2, and spent the last 15 years or so believing yoga would be the one thing that helped my poor, poor hips and shoulders recover and "stretch" from all of this work I made them do. Even when it came to strength training, I always felt like if I just made sure all my muscles were "stronger," then that would help in injury prevention. Oh, what I didn't know! You have opened my eyes!!!the understanding and the awareness I have cultivated around my joint mobility has been tremendous. Further, I feel SO empowered that I now have the tools to take back control of my mobility within my hips, spine, and shoulders! - SARAH TREJO

  • I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU FOR A GREAT COURSE and for all the good content you put online. It has become a great resource for me not only as a yoga teacher but for my own life.    Movement 101 is a wonderful resource and I think Michelle’s one of the best teachers on the interwebs! - JIMMY MEDELLIN

  • THIS WAS SUCH A FANTASTIC CLASS, the constant Cues and reminders you provide are so very helpful!  - JOCELYNE MATHYK

  • It is absolutely fantastic! You are very knowledgeable and I just love the exercises and your explanations. BRAVO!!!  Looking forward for more!   I COULD NOT BE MORE HAPPIER OR MOTIVATED WITH THIS COURSE, I am learning so much about my body and movement. - PAULINA STOCKTON LEAL

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!  I know I'm full of questions, and really appreciate the detail with which you answer them.  I'm enjoying everyone else's questions, too.  I cannot tell you how much I'm enjoying this class.  It's giving me huge inspiration for my own movement practices (yoga, strength training, etc) as well as loads of content that I can introduce when teaching alignment-based yoga.  I'm going to be unpacking this content for a long, long time.  :) - REBEKAH GUNN

  • OMG!!! I just did the first class on the hip and I am in LOVE!!! It is absolutely amazing how effective these exercises are! ...I absolutely love love your work!!! I am doing the 30 day challenge and I cannot believe how much better I feel!!! This is the BEST gift I could get for myself!!! I am learning so much!!! I can breath, I can walk without much pain... I can not thank you enough for all of your work!!! It is brilliant and one of the most effective programs for re training your bodY. - JOANNA RADZEIOWSKA

  • Thank you so much for everything! I love the design of your program too, it is motivating to see what classes you have taken and the percentage of classes completed and the way you organize it helps me see what topics I am skipping over. Incredible work!  - A Pudoff 

  • This particular workout blows most of my meditations out of the water for releasing tension. I went from a 8 this am to a 3. I have a very stressful event with a lot of unknowns later today and I needed exactly this. Thank you for doing what you do and the way that you do it. You do it so differently than anyone out there. 🙏🏻 - Rachel Baker ( re Neck Rescue )

  • I feel so amazing after class yesterday and so appreciate the advice.  Michelle I honestly feel that your knowledge has realigned me. After yesterday I feel 40% better. You are incredible and your teaching has changed my life in just a few short months. I look forward to many years ahead with you in my life.  Thank you from my heart. - Marisa english

  • Hi just wanted to pop on and say how amazing the Improving the dynamics of your upper rib cage class is! It was sooooo helpful and I found so much that was tight that I didn’t even know was tight and made some great discoveries. Moving onto neck rescue today! - Jessmyn Schwartz

  • I have been in the biz over 25 years and have taken tons of classes for end user as well as continuing ed.  Your teaching style and organization of everything makes this accessible to so many and so simple to follow. From how you communicate to the kindness and passion that comes through (and of course your wisdom)...I am blown away. I have toyed with the idea of Kinstretch and PRI for years, I am so glad you offered this. I am loving it.  - Rachel Baker

    Absolutely. I have had MANY highly educated students and they have devoured the content, improved their understanding of the science of human movement and are a great part of our mastermind group.

  • Do I need any equipement?

    A wall, a floor and a mat are all you need for most classes. Classes can be done almost anywhere, anytime, as many times as you want.
