This program is for advanced students. We will do classes 3x a week. I recommend, you space out the sessions with an even amount of days in-between for better recovery. Example: Day 1 is a Monday, Day 2 is a Wednesday, Day 3 is a Friday/Saturday. On the days you don’t do classes - I highly recommend doing your full body CARs routine (Intro Video 5).

If you have any questions reach out to me. Hope you enjoy the program!

3 classes per week

This class is all about rotational capacity of the hips. Targeting both Internal and External Rotation. This class is slightly more advanced than previous classes. 

Equipment Needed: Yoga Blocks, Tennis Balls (optional) 

Time Markers: 
1:05 CARs (warm up)
18:20 Hip Internal/External Rotation (Supine Base)
20:25 Anterior/Posterior Pelvic Tilt (Quadrupedal Base)
22:30 Hip External Rotation PAILs/RAILs + Lift Offs (90/90 Base)
44:27 Hip Internal Rotation PAILs/RAILs + Lift Offs (90/90 Base)
1:06:35 Hip External/Internal Rotation Lift + Hovers (90/90 Base)
1:11:15 Finishing CARs 

Rotation is the fundamental motion of our joints (excluding the spine). For the hips, there's nothing more important than Internal Rotation, though External rotation is a close second. When you have good rotational workspace you will have better global mobility for the entire hip capsule. A lot of times people will train Hip Flexion and Extension and only gain a little progress, because they haven't addressed their rotational deficits first (IR/ER). If you have a hip IR/ER deficits you will want to program in this class consistently every single week.

This is by far my favorite hip class available, and I would recommend doing this one at least 1x a week, and ideally 2x for extra buttery hip gains. Especially if you have deficits in rotation. I personally do this class 2x a week.

In this class we're doing 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs per base now. Though if you feel capped out at 2, don't feel obligated to do 3. There's additional cues in the video regarding that. Always listen to your body. Theses movements are always self-effort based, so you can make any class easy or hard.

I hope you enjoy this extra buttery hip class! 😈

Class 9: Hip IR & ER (Intermediate+)

This class is all about rotational capacity of the shoulders (Internal and External Rotation), and Retraction of the Scapula. This class is slightly more advanced than previous classes.

Equipment Needed: Yoga Blocks, Tennis Balls (optional) 

Time Markers:
0:40 CARs (warm up)
19:20 Scapula Prep (Tall Kneeling or Standing Base)
21:20 Scapular Retraction PAILs/RAILs (Prone Lying Base )
31:00 Scapular Retraction Lift Offs + Elbow Hinge (Prone Lying Base)
35:00 Shoulder External Rotation PAILs/RAILs (Prone Lying Base)
43:45 Shoulder External Rotation Lift Offs (Prone Lying Base)
46:05 Shoulder Internal Rotation Prep (Tall Kneeing Base)
47:06 Shoulder Internal Rotation PAILs/RAILs + Passive Range Holds (Supine Lying Base)
1:11:00 Finishing CARs 

Rotation is the fundamental motion of our joints (excluding the spine). For the shoulders, there's nothing more important than Internal Rotation, though External rotation is a close second. When you have good rotational workspace you will have better global mobility for the entire shoulder capsule. A lot of times people will train Flexion and Extension and only gain a little progress, because they haven't addressed their rotational deficits first (IR/ER). If you have a shoulder IR/ER deficits you will want to program in this class consistently every single week.

This is by far my favorite shoulder class available, and I would recommend doing this one at least 1x a week, and maybe even 2x. Especially if you have deficits in rotation.

We're doing 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs per base now. Though if you feel capped out at 2, don't feel obligated to do 3. There's additional cues in the video regarding that. Always listen to your body.

Hope y'all love this class 👊🏼

Class 10: Shoulder IR/ER + Scapular Retraction  (Intermediate+)

Full. Body. Butter. Advanced Class

Equipment Needed: Yoga blocks. Weights (dumbbells, kettlebells, Indian clubs) will be optional. Also optional: Tennis Ball and Ankle Weights

Time Markers: 
0:30 CARs (warm up)
22:00 Advanced Scapular CARs (Plank Base)
24:20 Weighted Hip CARs (Side Lying Base)
31:15 Weighted Shoulder CARs (Side Lying Base)
36:15 Weighted Thoracic Flexion/Rotation (Quadruped Base)
40:30 Hip Flexion Lift Offs(Modified 90/90 Base)
46:05 Weighted Scapular CARs (Standing Base)
48:00 Jefferson Curls (Optional Weighted) (Standing Base)
52:30 Infinity Lift Offs (Deep Squat Base)

This class features more advanced variations of CARs - including the option to load your CARs with weight, and increasing the irradiation higher than we ever have before during CARs (70-85%). Then we'll go through an advanced series of movements for the hips, shoulder, scapula, and spine.

This class is definitely for more advanced users, but it can still be scaled down to make it less intense. To make it easier, you can do the movements without any weight or props, and lower your irradiation to where you feel more comfortable. It's always best to go at your own pace and listen to your body. From there you can slowly build up towards more intensity, and slowly add weight. When deciding to add weight, start off light, and then build up over time.

This class is very spicy, and it may leave you in a sweaty pile of butter and tenderness. I hope you enjoy it!

Class 19: Full Body - Hips/Shoulder/Scap/Spine (intermediate +)

Spine...meet progressive overload (Advanced Class)

Equipment Needed: Yoga Blocks. Weights are optional, but in the class we use Dumbbells, Kettlebells, Ankle Weights, and a weight belt.

Time Markers: 
0:33 CARs (warm up)
5:55 Weighted Thoracic CARs (Wide Stance Base)
8:15 Loaded Spinal Segmentation (Hip Hinge Base)
11:00 Neck Segmentation Drill (Supine Base w/ block)
13:00 Weighted Segmental Bridges (Supine Base)
16:30 Neck Isometric Holds (Supine Base w/ block)
18:55 Weighted Thoracic Rotations (Supine Base)
22:30 Neck Rotation PAILs/RAILs (Kneeing Base)
27:25 Weighted Spinal Roll Ups (Supine Base)
30:50 Weighted Pelvic Tilts + Lumbar Flexion/Extension (Supported Hip Hinge Base)
34:00 Weighted Thoracic Flexion/Rotation at wall (Standing Base)
37:30 Weighted Jefferson Curls (Standing Base)
41:40 Neck CARs (Prone “Sphinx” Base)
44:10 Weighted Thoracic Flexion Segmentation at wall (Standing Base)
48:00 Straight Leg Thoracic Rotations (Supine Base)
50:25 Finishing CARs

This class is for all my advanced users who want to progressively overload their Spine. Now obviously all these movements are self-effort based, and you don't have to use weights, so you can scale down the intensity and go at your own pace if needed. It's always wise to build up gradually with intensity and loaded movements - start off slow and steadily build your capacity through weeks and months of training. Don't go balls to the wall, always listen to your body.

We take a lot of our traditional spine movements and we increase the intensity and load, thus forcing lines of tissue to absorb more force, which through consistent training will create greater strength adaptations.

I hope your spines feel extra buttery after this one!

Class 22: Advanced Spine Circuit

We'll target Ankle Inversion, Eversion, and Dorsiflexion. This will be a slightly more advanced ankle class than past ones, and we feature 3 new bases.

Equipment Needed: In this class we use a slant board, kettlebell, and sticks for balance. Though for all these you can get creative with different props. 

Time Markers: 
0:40 CARs (warm up) 
2:30 Ankle Capsular CARs (Seated Base)
4:15 Inversion PAILs/RAILs (Seated Base)
21:15 Eversion PAILs/RAILs (Standing Base)
38:30 Dorsiflexion PAILs/RAILs (Standing Base)
46:15 Dorsiflexion/Plantar Flexion Kinetic Stretch (Standing Base)
49:10 Finishing CARs

We will work ankle dorsiflexion on the slant board bilaterally, and we'll be straight leg to really emphasize the stretch in the calves down to the posterior ankle. You can also do this movement unilaterally to isolate one side at a time if you prefer. If you don't have a slant board you can prop your foot up against a wall or get a little creative.

For ankle inversion we'll be in a manual block. I personally love blocking with my hands because it allows me to feel the movement with more specificity. A lot of bases are hard to do manual blocks, but this one should be fairly easy to hold.

For ankle eversion we use a kettlebell to prop your foot up, but you don't have to use a kettlebell and you can get creative with different props, or use a ledge.

For all these bases we'll work 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs. Like always, if after the first two rounds you're feeling taxed, you don't have to do the 3rd round, or you can do it at a much lower intensity. Always listen to your body and go at your own pace, and slowly build up over time.

I hope you enjoy this new ankle class!

Class 26: Ankle Inversion/Eversion/Dorsiflexion

This is an advanced class for Hip IR, ER, and Abduction

Equipment Needed: Yoga Blocks. Ankles weights and tennis balls are optional.

This may be one of our most advanced classes yet, so keep that in mind before joining in.

We'll be working both Hip IR/ER at the same time in the 90/90 position. This is incredibly challenging, so don’t be discouraged if you struggle in the beginning. It will take time and practice to develop the neurological control to initiate both hips at the same time in PAILs/RAILs, and it will take some time to develop the body awareness to learn how to best position yourself in the base - this will take some self exploration and paying around with. 

After our 90/90 base we’ll go into a hip abduction base for some more sweet hip torture.

As always, listen to your body and go at your own pace. While this is labeled an advanced class, you can regress the session by doing less rounds of PAILs/RAILs, or lowering the intensity during PAILs/RAILs and other movements, and opting out of using the weights when the time comes. As always, progressive overload is key, so build up your capacity gradually.

I can’t wait to hear your feedback on this one…my hips were tender city 😈

Class 27: Advanced Hip IR/ER/Abduction

This class is for the Knees: IR, ER, and Flexion

Equipment needed: Yoga blocks. If needed - you can also use an extra cushion for your knee and some sticks for balance.

We introduce a new base setup for both IR and ER to give you more variety from other knee classes so you can pick and choose which base you like the most.

We work 2 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in each base. If you’re more of an advanced student and you’re ready for more volume, you can add an additional 3rd round to the bases if desired. You would simply just pause the video after our 2nd round of PAILs/RAILs and then do another one on your own, then resume the class.

This class will be a great option for those who have struggled with knee issues. If the knee is a priority area for you, you'll want to program in this class at least 1x a week, and ideally work yourself up to 2x a week. For anyone with more serious past injuries to this area, it would be wise to listen to your body, and monitor your intensity and range of motion at first. Then you can slowly build up from there, increasing the intensity and range gradually with each class. You shouldn't go full intensity and push your ranges right away - it's always best to start off slow and then build from there.

Let’s get these knee gains 🧈

Class 28: Knee IR/ER & Flexion

This class is for the T-Spine. We’ll be focusing on Thoracic Extension & Rotation

Equipment: Yoga Blocks, A wall to put your back against, and something to anchor our hand down (we’re using a kettebell in the video). Also a stick will be optional.

Time Markers: 
0:20 CARs (warm up)
6:05 Posterior Pelvic Tilts (Quadruped Base)
8:00 Thoracic Flexion/Extension at wall (Standing Base)
10:40 Thoracic Extension PAILs/RAILs + Lift Offs (Prone Base)
22:10 Side 1 Thoracic Rotation PAILs/RAILs (Supine Base with Bent Knees + Anchor)
31:52 Side 2 Thoracic Rotation PAILs/RAILs (Supine Base with Bent Knees + Anchor)
39:15 Finishing CARs

This is our first class featuring Spinal PAILs/RAILs, and our first Thoracic Spine specific class. The T-spine is often an area where STI’s live, aka Shitty Tissue Issues. 

In conventional exercise we’re usually told to maintain a straight spine the entire time and never deviate from that. We also go home and sit in a rounded position for long periods of time. Over time these areas in our spine start decreasing in movement quality, because we don’t spend enough to moving through different ranges of motion in our training and daily life. It’s important for the spine to be strong through all of its joint positions and ranges of motion, not just “neutral spine”.

The t-spine seems to be a common problem area for most people, and if you’re one of those people you’re going to love/hate this class. If you’re noticing you’re having a hard time initiating the movement in that t-spine area, it’s okay and that’s totally normal, especially in the beginning. This is an area most people are disconnected with, and lack neurological control. The more we prioritize classes like this for these areas, the better connection we will develop over time. Stay consistent and it will continue to develop and get better. Like always with priority areas, 1-2x a week is an ideal target to hit - I personally like to hit my priority areas 2x a week.

I hope you love/hate this class in the best way possible!

Short Class 26: Thoracic Spine Extension & Rotation

This is an advanced shoulder class for IR, ER, and Flexion

Equipment Needed: Yoga Blocks. Weights are optional.

This class is great for anyone looking to advance their shoulder work, and this is our first class that targets 3 different PAILs/RAILs bases just for the shoulder. 

We’ll do 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs, and at times we use weight for certain drills, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. While this is labeled an advanced class, you can also regress the session by doing less rounds of PAILs/RAILs, or limiting the intensity during the class, and opting out of using the weights when the time comes.

If this is a big priority area for you it would be great to target this class 1-2x a week.

I hope you enjoy the sweet buttery gains!

Short Class 36: Shoulder IR/ER/Flex (intermediate+)

This class is for the toes and the intrinsic foot muscles 

Equipment Needed: Something to sit on and yoga blocks.

High-quality shoes, low-quality feet. This is a big problem in modern society. We wear overly supportive shoes, we don’t spend a lot of time barefoot, and over time all of our intrinsic foot muscles become very weak, which typically leads to problems and dysfunction in this area. Also having good toe mobility is very important when it comes to running, jumping, and other dynamic movements.

Because this area is typically weak and undertrained, you can limit your intensity on your PAILs/RAILs. Over time, as the tissues become stronger, you can gradually start increasing the tension to apply a little more stress/force. It's always best to start off light and slowly build up, especially in areas that are a little weaker.

Don't neglect those tootsies! I hope you enjoy this class.

Short Class 39: Toes and Intrinsic Foot Strength

This is an advanced class for Scapular Protraction, Retraction, and Depression.

Equipment Needed: Yoga Blocks, a stick, and a stretching band. Weights are optional.

This class is great for anyone looking to advance their scapula work, and this is our first class that targets 3 different PAILs/RAILs bases just for the scapula. 

We’ll do 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs and Christa uses weights for certain drills in the class, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. While this is labeled an advanced class, you can also regress the session by doing one less round of PAILs/RAILs, or lowering the intensity during PAILs/RAILs and other movements, and opting out of using the weights when the time comes. As always, progressive overload is key so build up your capacity gradually.

Hope you enjoy these sweet buttery scap gains!
