Spinal Intelligence: The book club
Read the book. Bring your questions. Move through it together.
This is a four-week, small-group deep dive into Spinal Intelligence, one hour a week, live, with me. Each session takes a concept from the book and makes it useful: we'll talk through it, look at a real case study, and discuss how the concept applies to a specific exercise or movement that puts the idea in your body, not just your head.
This is a chance to engage with the material, ask the questions that came up for you in Chapter 4 at 11pm, and hear how other people are applying it with their own clients and in their own bodies.
How it works
Four live sessions, one hour each, one week apart. Each session follows the same shape:
Concept — a closer look at the core idea from that week's chapters
Case study — how it shows up in real work, with real (anonymized) clients
Exercise — a guided practice tied directly to the concept, done together live
Between sessions, you can email me directly with questions—something that came up in the reading, in the exercise, or with a client of your own. I read and respond to all of it.
The schedule
Week 1 — The Beginning & The Neck: More Than Just Posture
Week 2 — When Strength Changes Everything & Flexibility Reframed
Week 3 — Coordination Over Correction & The Myth of the Core
Week 4 — Compression, Expansion, and the Fabric of Movement & Integrating the Practices
Who it's for
Anyone who's read (or is reading) Spinal Intelligence and wants to go deeper — including movement teachers, trainers, PT's, and bodyworkers who want a space to think out loud about how these ideas apply to their own client work.

Movement, Decoded: a 3 part mini-series with Jenn Pilotti
A 3-part live series with Jenn Pilotti on the hips, feet, and shoulders — how they're built to move, why they get stuck, and what to actually do about it.
The first Saturday of September, October, and November from 11:00-12:30PM PDT. You don’t have to attend live—recording will be available for 3 months.
Hang On: A Mind-Body Approach to Pull-Ups and Hanging
Pull-ups aren't inaccessible. You just haven’t developed the pieces.
Have you ever wondered why some people are able to pull themselves up in a way that looks easy? Or when they hang from a bar it looks like they could hang out there for hours, as though it’s more comfortable than lying on the couch with their legs up?
Whether you are an aerialist or ground based mover who wants to develop more skill in hanging and pulling, or you are someone who has always wanted to be able to do a pull-up, this 6-week live class will give you the tools you need to feel more connected, stronger, and more coordinated with your hanging and pulling strength.
Here's what makes hanging and pull-ups different from most strength work. These types of skills require short doses at first. Tendons and connective tissue adapt slower than muscle does, so you can't just add load the way you would with a barbell. The early sessions will focus on shoulder prep and brief hanging work. As your capacity builds, you will notice a direct shift towards longer hangs and real pulling strength.
You'll also work on the part that's harder to program: the mind-body connection to hanging itself. Trusting your grip. Knowing what your shoulders are doing when your feet leave the ground. That awareness is as much a part of this as the strength is.
What we'll work on
Over six weeks, we'll build from the ground up:
Shoulder and grip prep to build the foundation most pull-up training skips
Supported hanging progressions to build tolerance, confidence, and body awareness
Ring and stall bar work to groove the pulling pattern before you're doing it under full bodyweight (a beam you can hold on to works if you don’t have access to stall bars)
Progressive hanging and pulling work as your capacity builds
Progress won't look identical for everyone, but everyone will see improvement. You’ll learn to track your own capacity, not someone else's timeline.
How it works
6 weeks, one 45-minute session per week
Live sessions, with the option to attend or catch the recording if your schedule doesn't allow it
Includes the full Strong, Supple Shoulders program (mobility, stability, and strength sequences) as supplemental material to use between sessions
Thursdays, October 15-November 19, 7:30AM-8:15AM
Price: $235 Payment plan available. Early bird discount of $60 off is available until September 15, 2026 with code hangonearly. Enter at checkout. PDF will be sent out before the course starts.
A 6-week live cohort for building real hanging and pulling strength — grip, shoulders, and the connection between them. Whether you're working toward your first pull-up or refining hanging skills for aerial, pole, or climbing, you'll build capacity through short, progressive doses and a stronger internal sense of what's happening in your shoulders and grip. Live sessions with recordings included, plus the full Strong, Supple Shoulders program as supplemental material.

FAQ
What equipment do I need?
You'll need:
A pull-up bar that can support your body weight
Rings*
Light dumbbells (3–5 lbs)
A slightly heavier dumbbell (8–15 lbs)
A yoga block
Light stretchy bands (Therabands or jump bands)
A beam, pole, or stall bars you can hold onto while lying down
*If you struggle with grip strength, I recommend adding these straps to your set-up.
I can't do a pull-up or hang for long periods of time. Is this going to help me?
Yes! While I can't guarantee you'll be able to do a pull-up at the end of the six weeks, I can guarantee you'll be on your way to achieving your first bodyweight pull-up.
I can do a pull-up. Is this worth my time?
Maybe. If you want to establish a strong mind-body connection, improve your internal map of your shoulder, or build a stronger internal sense of what's happening so you can work toward higher-level hanging and pulling skills, then yes. This is also worth your time if you teach or coach movements that involve pulling and you struggle to find the language or progressions to build hanging capacity and shoulder awareness in others.
I have an injury and want to get back to pulling and hanging work. Is this appropriate for me?
Maybe. If you've been cleared by your doctor or physical therapist to return to exercises like pull-ups, this could be a good starting place. Please reach out to me directly and we can figure out together whether this cohort is a good fit.

How to integrate all of it into a handstand practice that feels good
The Format
Each week includes:
One 60-minute live class (recording available if you can't attend)
Two guided practices (20–30 minutes each)
Personalized feedback on submitted videos
Space to ask questions and explore
Words about Root to Rise:
“I just wanted to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the past six weeks and will continue to work with things. My handstand is coming along, but more importantly, all my arm balances and transitions have improved. I needed this spark to ignite my creativity again.”
“Thank you for this class, it has taught me a lot not just about handstands but connecting the body.”
“I’d love to learn more from you. Your level of understanding is incredible.”
“I loooove the class and your teaching style…The material is working so I plan to keep running it until it all sticks :)”

While weight-shifting is our focus, you’ll also explore enhanced flexibility, coordination, and connection through the spine and the entire body. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of grounding or simply want to explore movement in new ways, this class offers a unique, supportive experience.
*Recording will be available if you can’t attend live

Please have a pair of socks, a firm elevated surface like a cork yoga block (preferably not a foam yoga block) and some floor space available.
A recording will be available if you can’t make it live.
