Let’s geek out on the science of motion!
This 3-hour lecture unpacks the neuroscience and skeletal muscle physiology behind how we generate movement and why understanding both changes everything about how we teach. From the premotor cortex to muscle contractions, we’ll cover it all. Designed for movement professionals, clinicians, and curious movement geeks who want to take their understanding of movement science beyond reps and choreography.

Let’s geek out on pregnancy & postpartum!
Few experiences in life, if anything, come close to the amount of changes that occur during pregnancy and postpartum - yet so many of our movement trainings fail to adequately discuss this astonishing time in one’s life. In this two-part, MDL Geek Out, we’ll first discuss physiological and biomechanical changes of pregnancy and postpartum in a 3 hour lecture. We’ll then apply all that we learned in the lecture section in a 2 hour movement class covering the best motions to support pregnant and postpartum clients through this dynamic time. Designed for movement professionals, clinicians, and curious movement geeks who want to blend evidence-based knowledge with embodied practice.
