CORE Conundrums

"Weak core” is often cited as a key determinant or contributing factor for almost every physical ailment and performance limitation. Driving the pursuit of improved "Core Stability" across almost all physical training and rehab environments. This workshop examines the truth behind the claims before exploring the most efficacious approaches to achieve what we really want; improved movement function and efficiency, whether that relates to well-being or performance!

Alignment Uncovered

Optimal alignment quite literally provides the foundation of most movement teacher teaching frameworks. You might be forgiven for thinking there is little more to discuss. Think again! Concepts and practices regarding "correct alignment" are among the most nebulous and poorly validated across the movement teaching space. Optimising dynamic alignment is pivotal for effective and efficient functioning. Join us down the rabbit hole as we take a pragmatic approach to alignment correctness!

Intentional tension!

Encouraging conscious engagement of specific muscles may seem logical when correcting ineffective movement technique. However, research and established motor learning theory suggests otherwise! Despite this, voluntary muscle activation cueing (VMAC) is prevalent in many movement teaching settings. Cues to “engage the core”, "hollow abdominals", “squeeze glutes” and "connect lats" are everywhere! This workshop challenges the validation of such practices and explores alternative approaches for motor skill development that relates to real-world movement function.

Exercise Relevance? Time to get critical!

Creating effective and meaningful sessions and classes demands the use of 'relevant exercises'. While fun to perform, many popular exercises fall short when it comes to their usefulness beyond the pleasurable experience they provide. To help clients achieve meaningful outcomes and meet the specific demands of their daily lives, we need to offer more than entertainment! Drawing on key concepts from motor control theory and exercise science, this workshop considers the efficacy of many popular exercises and will provide validated alternatives for those that are found lacking!

Neutral alignment in practice...

A 2-hour masterclass exploring neutral pelvis and spine in practice. This entirely practical session is great for those wanting to dive straight into the practical application of many of the concepts covered in our Alignment Uncovered workshop. For those who have done that workshop this session also provides a great opportunity to explore the concepts further on a practical level. 

Dynamic integrated CORE

A key concept introduced within the CORE Conundrums workshop. This is a practical masterclass showcasing exercises that focus on this essential training agenda. Come and join us for a two hour experiential exploration of dynamic integrated CORE training in action! Experience first hand exercises that will challenge your ability and perspectives of axial skeletal control!

Squat for what?

An entirely practical masterclass picking through a plethora of squat variations. Each examined through a variety of lenses to give context of the Why? When? and Who for? questions we should be asking when introducing this essential exercise into our classes.

Surrounded in controversy and passionate opinion, this fundamental human movement has been revered and vilified in equal measure. It is time to set the record straight! 

Endurolates Intro
