Our focus is movement education: exploring habits that may contribute to discomfort and developing flexibility, strength, and coordination. Classes do not diagnose or treat medical conditions, and relief from pain is not guaranteed.

Explore the movement side of stiffness, pain, and limitations in daily activity. This class focuses on habits of posture, tension, and coordination that may contribute to discomfort or make movement harder. Through guided yoga and somatic practice, try ways to move with greater comfort, steadiness, and confidence.

If stiffness or discomfort has made you hesitant to move, start with what feels manageable today. This is movement education that can complement appropriate health care; it does not diagnose the cause of pain or provide injury rehabilitation.

Each 90-minute session offers clear, supportive guidance to help you:

  • Notice movement and postural habits that may contribute to discomfort or restriction.
  • Develop flexibility, strength, and coordination through adaptable movement practice.
  • Explore breathing and relaxation practices to reduce unnecessary effort.
  • Build sustainable movement habits you can apply every day.

Bring your goals for walking, bending, reaching, or feeling steadier. Alan offers options so you can explore within a comfortable range, rest when needed, and build a practice for daily life. If you have persistent pain or an injury, consult your health professional about participation and any restrictions.

Joining from home? Alan guides you live on Zoom, and you can practice in the same space where you’ll use what you learn. For help getting connected, contact Alan before class.

Individual results & educational information

Classes and private sessions provide movement education, not medical diagnosis or treatment. Pain can have many causes; exploring movement habits does not identify or treat an underlying medical condition. Consult a qualified health professional about persistent or new pain, injury, or concerns about participating. Individual experiences and results vary.
