Honored to contribute to the Yoga With Adriene membership !

Such an engaged community wanting to get more awareness in what feedback their body is giving them, restore function, move well, and perform in their practice !

Check out her membership 🙂. Really some great content and guests that are in this community !

When it comes to a yoga practice or flow, the shoulders are paramount in transmitting force and energy from one posture to another.

What stops most trainees from getting gains from their training?
It’s not a matter of discipline or will
And it definitely is not a matter of not working hard enough or using weight training . If that was the case , then athletes / trainees wouldn’t keep getting stopped in their tracks .
So what is it ? Well, it’s not properly progressing , doing movements they aren’t ready for , and then POP, that didn’t sound right ...
We tweak something, something tears , we pull something , and the typical drill is employed : ice , rest , wait , chiros, massage , go to the doctor 🥼Etc etc .
Now, I don’t want this to be you or any of our clients , and that’s why, we are teaching our clients a system, that makes them say “man this is harder than weights “, “my nervous system is super challenged!”, “ My heart rate is at a 93 with just a yoga block and a mat “, “this training is no joke “....
So what is the system ?
Well , it is one that takes into account the following :
Most movements are dynamic and require some sort of tempo and cadence. In order to get into tempo and cadence we “assume” that the joints and kinetic chains ( groups of muscles working together ) know how to connect and move into the right positions . This isn’t always the case . The more dynamic you go, the more risk you put on the system. Not UNLESS your prepare the body to be able to .
You see, in order to do a dynamic pattern, trainees have to effectively know how to load a group of Muscles and joints , and then transfer load to another group of muscles and joints. This means we have to know where and how to create tension in our body . You can give the body a chance to learn this , by strategically using joint angles , constant time under tension with just your body weight, and upper/lower body integration. We do this, and now we feel exactly what a deadlift should feel like without needing a bar . We feel how a back squat feels like without needing a bar. We maximize what we need from Bulgarian lunges . We make a pushup feel like a bench . And moreover , we challenge the system far more than the above traditional lifts

No barbell?
Well, what if In the mean time you 2X your ability to set PRs in your lifts without equipment ? Sounds crazy , sure... but it’s just principles . You don’t have to get strong off equipment , but when you have principles , you can get strong no matter what the consequence . And when the barbell becomes available or you are ready to purchase one, that thing will be ready to rip off the ground

Martial Artists need to Learn this to last longer in their career
🥊 Most martial artists drill skill training for hours on out, do some pre-stretches , some post stretches , and then run conditioning exercises until they are dripping on the mat. However this doesn’t guarantee that they will be able to
🥊absorb impact from opponents
🥊get into the right positions to leverage themselves against defenders
🥊be able to do the above powerfully for 3 rounds plus with consistency!
And often times, this strategy ends up leaving them injured, ineffective, and gassed ⛽️ out early
What if your joints can’t get into the shapes you ask of them ?
What if you don’t know what needs to exactly fire 🔥 in the right sequence to get into the positions needed to leverage yourself over your opponent ?
Well you probably guessed, that the fighter will be inconsistent , default to inefficient positions , and overuse body parts that then begin the chain of overuse and chronic injury
Now what if instead you understood exactly how to overcome your injuries and train your ability to get into as many joint angles as possible needed on the mat? So that , when you are pinned in a weird position , you can turn that hip , you can rotate the shoulder, you can leverage yourself over your opponent more effectively
Well , if this interests you , then click the link in our bio , and schedule a free consult with us. You’ll learn exactly why you keep gassing out , and why you reaggravate your injuries . And from there we will build a roadmap of how you can systematically overcome your injuries , improve your ability to last for more rounds and give you more movement options on the mat .

“ I got so much more in 45 mins than what most people get in 3 Hours” .
🤜🏽What most trainees do : Exert max effort +dynamic movement + fatigue = good workout .
🤜🏽Where it leads them = not a guarantee as to where they are actually improving .
🤜🏽Alot of the times these trainees end up doing too much too fast , which pulls them back into injury and compensation
🤜🏽This actually makes us weaker and less efficient at performing our training . Did we sweat ? Sure . Did we burn calories ? Yes. But did we actually get stronger , more resilient , more capable of doing a movement over and over without failing ( this is conditioning) ? Not necessarily , and this is where we get frustrated because our capability to actually perform is severely blunted .
Most humans actually want to perform at SOMETHING. Maybe it’s a sport , maybe it’s the training session itself , and in the case of it’s 3 pronged .
💃dance
💪🏽workouts .
🦾professional life .
Does it make sense for her to do burpees till she drops ? Nope. But is she knocking out 5-8 pull-ups currently , along with overhead press, back squat PRs ,
Deadlift PRs, mobility PRs to be able to get into dance shapes, and feeling confident AF so she can tackle her work day ? Absolutely
Now If you are currently an athlete or someone who is tired of just “working hard” for the sake of it, but instead wants to improve their performance , prevent injury , and extend their movement career as much as possible , then comment below with your email
We will send you a FREE training on how our clients consistently get gains , without the injury , and all the while doubling their athletic ability .
If the training resonates with you , you will get an opportunity to get on a call and get a full movement assessment from us . If we are able to demonstrate that we can solve your problem, my hope is that we can work together . If not, enjoy the training
, it’s made with you the athlete in mind 🙂 .

ONLINE CLASSES ARE ABOUT TO GET AN UPGRADE !
For all of our TLF family riding out COVID -19’, thank you for your patience in this time as we have been figuring out how to best make your experience exponentially better! Upgrades below !
With that being said, here are some Of the big updates and upgrades you will be finding as you take classes:
1) Head Coach will be taking over all Mastery classes as of tomorrow via zoom!

2) Coach Nic will be reaching out to everyone in class , to set up a tutorial call of how we will upgrading your experience in classes

UPGRADE 1: Every class will now have a theme meant to build upon each other. This means the regression itself will be challenging, and will build you to be able to do the next workout in class. Think far more emphasis on building where we are weak , and expanding our strengths even deeper. This also means more challenge , more tension under time and burn , and knowing what to feel when to feel as a group
B) UPGRADE 2: You will get access to every month’s programmed classes via an app called .co . Everything is organized with cues , videos , and how we will progress here. This means you always have a resource of workouts you can replicate and ask questions straight from the app itself . You can post video of you performing a movement and get feedback right away so you know how you should be progressing through and through. This means you know what’s coming and get practice before class and get feedback from coach before you actually attend.
UPGRADE 3: You’ll get an update via the app on how to position the best camera angles , set up your space , and lighting for each phase of training. The structure will also change to where more people in class perform the workout together, so no one will feel lost in class.
UPGRADE 4 : We will be tracking certain key metrics like posture , breathing , strength , reps , timed holds , mobility , and other athletic movements . You’ll just pop in your videos and pictures into true coach and we will be able to track specific progression markers for you
There you have it! There’s more to come first , but stay tuned .
