Frequently Asked Questions
Start by considering your current activity level and any areas where you'd like to develop strength. If you're new to structured movement practice, our Gentle Movement guide is an excellent starting point. Those working at desks may benefit from the Desk Worker Recovery guide. You can explore multiple guides over time as your practice develops.
Most guides can be completed in 20 to 40 minutes depending on your current fitness level and the specific programme. However, these are not one-time reads—they're designed as resources you can return to regularly as you develop your practice. The principles and progressions apply over weeks and months of consistent engagement.
Most guides focus on movement using your body weight and minimal equipment. Some may suggest optional items like resistance bands or a yoga mat, but these are not essential. The core principles work effectively with just your body and enough space to move safely.
Yes, many people find value in combining guides over time. For example, you might work on core stability whilst also practising hip mobility. Start with one guide to build consistency, then add complementary guides as you develop your practice. Listen to your body and adjust volume based on how you feel.
Consistency matters more than intensity. Starting with 3 to 4 sessions per week allows your body to adapt and develop strength steadily. You can gradually increase frequency as your practice becomes more established. Rest days are important—they allow your body to recover and strengthen between sessions.
These guides emphasise controlled, gentle progression. Slight muscle sensation during movement is normal, but sharp pain or unusual discomfort signals you should stop and reassess your form. All guides include modifications for different levels. When in doubt, move more slowly, reduce range of motion, or skip to an easier variation. If discomfort persists, consult a qualified movement professional.
