Access a library of evidenced-based, movement therapy tutorials to help your students who are in pain and looking to you for help.
WHAT IS MOVEMENT LOGIC?
This collaboration came about because we recognized that, for movement teachers, while there’s an overwhelming amount of information out there, there's not a lot of guidance on what to do with it.
What most movement teachers need are critical thinking skills to be able to respond to their students' needs in the moment.
But let’s face it! Whether it’s a private client or a student after class - questions about what to do about pain and discomfort can be challenging to address for a movement teacher.
However, it’s possible to be able to address students’ needs skillfully, using evidence-based reasoning and tools, all while staying within scope of practice!
This happens by becoming anatomically and biomechanically informed, gaining a deeper understanding around pain science, and acquiring a diverse set of teaching tools that you can apply immediately.
With Movement Logic, you will do just that, all while building a foundation of critical thinking skills to reach a broader clientele.
If you are a movement teacher who feels your current knowledge base is lacking in this kind of reasoned application of movement therapy, then our courses are for you!
Each of our comprehensive tutorials focuses on a specific body region and its common injuries and pathologies.
You will build 3 main knowledge bases and skills sets.
Become Anatomically and Biomechanically Informed
- Learn musculoskeletal anatomy to better understand how bodies move, adapt, maladapt, get injured, experience pain, and heal
- Familiarize yourself with common pathologies to better understand the cascade of your body's response to tissue injury, as well as how pain is commonly patterned in response to these injuries
Understand Pain
- You'll study up-to-date biopsychosocial pain science that breaks down old beliefs in order to paint a more accurate picture of the often complicated and counterintuitive behavior of pain
- The biopsychosocial model is a holistic perspective to pain that looks at the relationship between your biology, your mind, and society, and how those elements together influence your whole body experience of pain
Acquire Teaching Skills
- You will acquire corrective exercise techniques for helping private clients who have diagnosed injuries as well as those with unspecified pain
- You'll learn best practices for presenting these corrective exercises in a group class

The pelvic floor is an area that regularly confuses students and teachers alike. Should I strengthen? Should I stretch? Is my pelvic floor working too hard? Is it not working hard enough?
Daily modern life, full of texting, computers, and driving - takes a toll on even the healthiest of shoulders. Pain and injury can easily sideline us from the activities we want to do, but in truth, we can maintain healthy shoulders with a little attention and care, and some well thought out exercises. We've got all that for you!
Are you frustrated by “One Size Fits All” approaches to low back pain, but not sure what else to do for your clients? Learn a movement-based approach to working with clients who have an array of low back pain sources.
Let’s be honest, our feet and ankles are a pretty complicated bunch of joints that we tend to pay little attention to – until they hurt! In truth, we can recover from injury, or prevent future injury from taking place, with regular care and feeding of our feet and ankles.
According to recent statistics, at any given time, up to 30% of the population is suffering from neck pain. And get this: roughly 70% of us will have neck pain at some point in our lives. Why are the numbers so high? And what can we do about it? The Movement Logic Neck Tutorial – our most comprehensive tutorial ever – is here to help.

Shoulderstand gets a bad rap. Teachers avoid it because they’ve been told it’s dangerous, and then they pass on that fear mongering to their students. Unfortunately this approach to teaching doesn’t help student learn anything about their bodies, and really just reinforces student dependence on a “teacher” as the authority on what they do and don’t do with their body.
We’ve even received some *horrified* (and not very thoughtful) emails about it – which only strengthens our standpoint (and our neck and shoulders).
We’re not here to debate if shoulderstand is a “good” or “bad” yoga pose (spoiler: there’s no such thing, and let’s stop freaking each other out about it. Attempts to do so are more after about exerting authority than genuinely trying to help, anyway.)
What we are saying is that as teachers and practitioners, we need *a toolbox of practical concepts* to facilitate the general principles of variability and progressive overload, so that we can adequately prepare the student in front of us not only for a yoga pose, but for resilience in all their movements.
Here’s Jesal demonstrating Chair Shoulderstand variation from our Neck Tutorial. This exercise takes a familiar yoga pose - shoulderstand - and adds a supportive dimension to decrease the potential for neck strain or discomfort.
If you feel like you’re missing some of those tools, are stuck in a teaching rut, or just want to shake things up and get inspired, our Neck Tutorial is for you. It’s only $129.99 and it's available until Monday.
