Quadruped Spinal Segmentation

5m 3s
This lesson video teaches Quadruped Spinal Segmentation - a drill designed to build true control of the spine by moving vertebrae by vertebrae, not in stiff “blocks.” The objective is to develop sharp body awareness while creating slow, deliberate spinal waves through flexion and extension. By moving as slowly as possible, you’ll expose and start to break down common hinge points - those spots where the spine locks up and one area does all the work. Done consistently, this improves spinal control, movement quality, and resilience for training and everyday life.

Seated Elbow CARs
This lesson video covers Seated Elbow CARs - a drill to build slow, controlled elbow movement through flexion and extension, combined with forearm pronation and supination. The objective is to learn where your true range is, how to access it with control, and how to spot (and avoid) common compen...

Seated Ankle CARs
This lesson video teaches Seated Ankle CARs - a drill to build slow, controlled ankle movement through dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, and eversion. The aim is to create a smooth, fluid circular motion at the end of your available range so you develop real foot and ankle control, not jus...

Tall-Kneeling Neck CARs
This lesson video covers Tall-Kneeling Neck CARs - a neck CARs variation designed to build controlled cervical movement through flexion, extension, and smooth rotation, without borrowing motion from the shoulders, ribs, or thoracic spine. In this version we add a simple constraint: squeezing a bl...
