Wake Up the Muscles
That Shut Down.

This is the muscle activation course I brought to Denver Yoga Summit. Five practical videos for your core, glutes, posture, and upper back. Use them with a loop band to wake up the right muscles before you train anything else.

How to use this at Denver Yoga Summit: Pick 2–3 videos that address your biggest needs. If you're not sure where to start, begin with The Core and Glutes. Use them before training or on their own as a daily reset. The loop band creates the tension that helps the right muscles fire.

Core Activation
The Core9 min

The foundation. Learn how to actually engage your core — not just brace it. This is where everything starts.

→
The Daily 1012 min

Upper body, core, and glutes in ten minutes. This is the one sequence that covers all three. Do it before you train or on its own as a daily reset.

→
Posture & Alignment
What Is the Posture Trap?12 min

Why sitting, scrolling, and desk work create a pattern that shuts down your posterior chain — and how to break it.

→
Lower Body
Glutes10 min

The most important muscle group in the body for pain prevention, posture, and performance. Most people have no idea theirs aren't firing.

→
Upper Body
Upper Back & Shoulders10 min

Tight traps, rounded shoulders, neck tension — this sequence targets the upper chain that desk work and phone use destroy.

Your body gives you information. Use it.

Go through all five videos. Not to collect more exercises, but to get a better understanding of your own body. Notice where you feel the work and where another area tries to take over. That is how you start finding your compensations.

I share more on Instagram and Facebook about loop bands, movement, and the different ways we can break up the chain so you can see what your body is actually doing.
