Spine-smart Ab Work for Osteoporosis
2 hr on-demand workshop
What you get
You get a practical list of exercises you can do any time, anywhere, but that's not the most important thing you get...
After this workshop, you get a rewarding sense of confidence that you CAN do ab work!
You can get down onto your mat at home, go to a Pilates or fitness class and know what to do and what to modify or replace. Which exercises are great for you and which ones you want to play with to make them more spine-smart. You'll have options and choices for what to do instead of lying on your mat wondering whether what you're doing is helping you or running risks you don't want to take.
Instead of relying on your teacher to know all the most up to date guidelines around osteoporosis, you'll be your own expert!
You'll get answers to questions you didn't even know you had about how to make the most of your core exercises so you can get the most effective ab work possible.
⭐ A detailed break down of which moves we want to limit for spine-safe exercise and why
⭐ How to choose the right position to avoid back pain and still get effective core work
⭐ How to make your exercises harder as you get stronger or easier for those days when you're tired but still want to work out
⭐ How to use bands, weights and foam rollers to add extra fun to your routine
I answer questions and dive into detail during the workshop. Maybe some of those questions would be the ones you would ask if you were there live!
After you've worked through the course, you don't have to watch the whole thing every time you want to work out. Download the printable exercise list to maintain your workout routine!

Movement, thoughts and feelings and tea! These are some of my favourite things!
After many years of teaching people with osteoporosis, I was diagnosed with osteo myself. After a challenging few weeks getting used to my diagnosis, I fully committed to creating classes, workshops and programs that serve my community.
I bring you not only my years of therapeutic movement work and my BoneFit osteoporosis training, but also my lived experience!
Do you need to have osteoporosis or osteopenia to enjoy my work? Nope, my stuff works for everyone! But it's a safe place for you to move and move well.
**Please note that Pelvic Floor Fundamentals was both made before my diagnosis and may have moves that aren't appropriate for all bodies**
I've been teaching Pilates and movement for over 20 years. Realising that I wanted to hone my eye for detail, I built my skills and understanding of biomechanics and functional alignment when I certified as a Restorative Exercise Specialist with Katy Bowman and the Nutritious Movement Institute.
I'm fascinated by how bodies work and have taken part in two fascial dissections with Tom Myers of Anatomy Trains. That amazing experience has added nuance and detail to my understanding of how truly it's all connected! Also it makes for excellent cocktail party conversation.
My approach to movement and health includes exercise-specific movement, natural everyday movement, somatic body and brain exploration and a deep conviction that how our brains and bodies get together makes all the difference to how we feel. Combining functional, exploratory details and alignment with fluid, intuitive movement and an emphasis on acceptance and fun leads to sustainable change that helps you feel better for life!
