This is the intro to my Strong and Stretched series: a 6-part, evidence-based mobility class series targeting shoulders, upper back, lower back, hip flexors, adductors, and hamstrings. These are not yoga classes. They are targeted, medicinal, science-backed stretch sessions designed to measurably increase your range of motion — in one session. In this video I cover everything you need to know before you start: what these classes actually are, my philosophy of movement, how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, the difference between pain and discomfort, and how to use these classes to make real, lasting progress. What you'll learn: Why this isn't yoga (and why that distinction matters) The movement disciplines behind my method: circus arts, contortion, dance, functional range conditioning, and yoga How to find and explore your edge safely The truth about pain signals and why flexibility training feels like you're dying at first How to structure your practice to actually see results TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:25 What are these classes and why I don't call it yoga 2:55 My background and the synthesis of movement disciplines 4:37 Is stretching hard? 7:26 How to find your edge and explore it safely 11:20 Pain vs discomfort 17:14 How to use my classes to progress 18:39 Make it fun!
