Alignment Uncovered
A LIVE online workshop with recordings, that dives deep into the concept of alignment and movement precision through the lens of real-world functional demands.
Join us to refine your perspective, enhance your skills and develop meaningful movement strategies that truly enhance movement quality, efficiency and consistency.
Optimal alignment is the cornerstone of most movement teaching frameworks It is often presented as key starting point to improving function, reducing injury risk, and enhancing performance. But how well do we really understand it? Despite its importance, concepts and practices adopted to achieve and maintain "correct alignment" remain among the most misunderstood and poorly validated in the movement teaching and exercise space.
In this thought-provoking workshop, we’ll explore dynamic optimal alignment as it relates to effective and efficient movements. Using a blend of theory, practical exploration, and discussion, you’ll uncover common myths and misconceptions surrounding alignment while gaining a deeper appreciation of its role in functional movement, skill acquisition and optimal physical performance.
Not just for teachers! So get informed & focus on what really matters in human movement
It is time everyone had the knowledge and skills to scrutinise the validity and reliability of practices they are so often encouraged to pursue without question!
Participants simply need an interest in human movement. If you teach or engage in movement practice or exercise of any kind and ‘CORE training’ features within your training agenda, this workshop is for you!
LIVE: Saturday 29th March 2025 10am - 4pm (GMT)

Workshop Objectives
What You'll Gain:
- Enhanced knowledge & practical skills: With fresh insights that will positively impact every aspect of your movement and exercise practice. Whether that's doing or teaching!
- Greater objectivity in evaluating & refining technique: Learn to assess and address alignment precision throughout the dynamic movement process holistically. Moving your mind beyond static postures and start positions to an awareness of the fluid state of alignment optimised for movement economy.
- Less noise interference! Debunking Myths: Understand the history and misconceptions surrounding "correct alignment" and adopting a pragmatic, evidence-based perspective, you will find it easier to tune out the nonsense!
- A pragmatic approach to planning for positive outcomes: Improve the efficiency of your interventions by focusing on what is really impeding the desired outcomes of a movement, be that an exercise, day-today-task or performance activity.
- Immediate application and a pathway for further development: Leave with tools and strategies to implement immediately into your teaching (if you teach), personal practice, daily tasks and physical performances (if you perform).
Why Attend this Workshop?
- If you teach movement technique of any kind and have EVER questioned the rationale of the expectations regarding alignment, technique or form of the exercises you use in your teaching.
- If you teach movement technique of any kind and have NEVER questioned the rationale of the expectations regarding alignment, technique or form of the exercises you use in your teaching!
- If you have been taught a movement or exercise task and have ever questioned the importance or justification supporting the technical expectations of that task. This could include the alignment or movement sequencing instructions.
- If you are interested in developing techniques to better assess and optimise alignment in the context of real-world demands.
- If you are interested in practical strategies that may refine and enhance training outcomes, whether for health, wellbeing or peak performance.
- If you are interested in revisiting familiar concepts and exercises with a fresh perspective and would like to expanding your repertoire with new material.
