Hi, friend!

Thanks so much for supporting my work, and for investing in your health and your knowledge of your own body. When we take care of our physical bodies in a mindful and sustainable way, it helps us become the best and happiest versions of ourselves. I hope this class is fun and supportive for you, and that your back feels great when you finish.

This is a recording of a live masterclass I taught in June of 2021. When you purchase it, the link to the recording will be automatically emailed to you within the hour.

Masterclass Details + Suggestions:

This 80 minute class has both an educational component and a movement component.

Both the education and the movement are appropriate for those who are currently having back pain, those who have had back pain challenges in the past, and those who have never struggled with back pain but want to avoid it in the future as we all get older and want to remain healthy and active, or as we pursue our ambitions in our outdoor activities.

Part 1 is the educational component. In the first ~10 minutes of the class, you'll learn what happens biomechanically in our spine when we get joint or muscle imbalances (which can happen for many reasons). You'll learn how the thoracic spine, our upper back, affects both our neck and lower back when it is out of balance in stability and/or mobility. Most importantly, you'll learn why that matters in real life and in our outdoor activities.

Part 2 is the movement component. This is the majority of the class, as we do a full comprehensive movement practice together focused on our thoracic spine. The movement component gives you some tools to correct these imbalances (which most of us do have, even if we don't currently have pain), specifically targeting the thoracic spine in a way that is also supportive to our neck and lower back. In the movement practice I also teach you how to stay in a pain-free range of motion with the activities, and how to modify some of the movements if you do have pain.

The movement component includes three things:

1. Basic foundational motor control practice: setting the groundwork

2. Stability: Muscle & Joint

3. Mobility: Muscle & Joint

Come prepared to move, and be able to move comfortably in standing, lying down, and on all fours in your space. If you have a large bath towel or beach towel, bring that, as we'll use it for one of the mobility series exercises.

Enjoy, and THANK YOU again for supporting my work and investing in your health!

Note #1: Currently Squarespace does not allow price variants — so to choose your price level, you will have to select the dropdown menu titled “Color.” This is silly, but it’s an okay workaround for now. Maybe this will be fixed in the future. Thanks for bearing with me and this imperfect system!

Note #2: Squarespace has been mildly glitchy, so if for some reason you are not emailed with the class link within the hour, please email me directly at eliza@adventurept.com.

I price my masterclasses and workshops on a sliding scale. There are three payment options – lowest dollar, middle dollar, and highest dollar, plus a “pay it forward” option for those who want to support others and my ability to continue offering accessible pricing. Please choose the rate that genuinely works best for you and your current budget. This is meant to reduce stress and increase accessibility for those in a tight financial situation. You will have the option to choose between these three prices when you select the “Color” drop-down menu.
