In this workshop we’ll focus on the mechanics of hinging at the hip, squatting and lunging. We’ll look at the anatomy of the pelvis, spine, ribcage and skull, and some potentially controversial discussion of a ‘neutral spine’ and methods of core engagement. We’ll troubleshoot why you might be experiencing back pain during these movements, or why you hamstrings seem to always be tight!
We’ll then move on to look at the anatomy of the hips, knees and feet for squatting and lunging. We’ll look at some novel ways of bulletproofing the knees, opening up functional range in the hips and ensuring solid grounding in the feet.

MINDFUL STRENGTH WORKSHOP SERIES
Do you ever wonder how some people can look graceful & integrated when they move?
Do you always get the same old niggles, aches & injuries?
Do you wish you could better understand how your body functions so you can move with more ease and grace?
I’m putting on a series of workshops to give you a whole new foundation for your physical development.
Whether you’re a seasoned weightlifter or you’re just starting to get curious about building a stronger body, this approach will help you understand how to optimise the way that you train.
We’ll explore anatomy and healthy joint biomechanics to re-educate your body and bring more conscious awareness to your movement.
We’ll work through mobility drills that will develop control and stability through ranges of motion you may not have reached in years!
We’ll look at posture, alignment and positioning in 6 fundamental human movement patterns — ones you’ll definitely recognise if you train already.
If you’ve ever been given cues like “squeeze your tummy”, “push your hips back”, “pull your ribs in” or “arch your back”, perhaps you’re not really sure what they mean practically, or why they don’t seem to be working for you. These workshops will help you explore whether these cues are accurate for your body, and how the ones meant for you actually translate into positional adjustments. You’ll leave with a greater understanding of your unique body and some corrections you may want to work on.
Expect:
Experiential anatomy for body awareness
Functional movement & corrective exercise
Stability in alignment
Mobility
Principles of recovery
WHY ‘MINDFUL STRENGTH’?
I’ve designed this approach by bringing together the worlds of yoga, functional movement, corrective exercise and strength training. I noticed a natural connection between these disciplines that I don’t see on offer, so I wanted to marry them together to find a mindful approach to strengthening the body for optimal function. With the fine-tuned awareness of yoga, the intelligent biomechanics of natural movement, and the muscular development of strength training, I believe we can train for longevity and ease of movement.
Each workshop is £28, or you can buy all three as a course for £80. To book or ask any question about your specific needs and interests, contact Eleanor directly at eleanor@fluxandflowcoaching.com
