Functional Movement: A Mobility Workshop

MOVE BETTER, FEEL STRONGER — A Mobility Workshop with Tsveta

2.5 hours | All levels welcome

What does it actually mean to be mobile? Not just flexible - but strong, controlled, and free to move through your full range of motion without pain or restriction? This workshop is your deep dive into exactly that.

Tsveta brings a rare combination of lived experience to the mat: years as a professional figure skater, a yoga teaching practice shaped by mentors like Mark Robberds and Patrick Beach, personal experience navigating hypermobility, and a serious strength training background. The result is a grounded, intelligent approach to movement that is both science-informed and deeply practical.

Whether you come from a yoga background, a sports background, or simply want to understand your body better - this workshop will change the way you move.

What you'll explore:

– The real difference between flexibility and mobility - and why it matters

– A full-body warm-up using CARS (Controlled Articular Rotations) to wake up every joint from head to toe

– A joint-by-joint tour of the body: feel your actual range of motion and learn what's possible

– Targeted mobility drills for the hips, shoulders, and spine - and how to weave them into your yoga practice

– PAILS & RAILS and contract-relax methods for flexibility training that actually sticks

– Strength-based end range training - because flexibility without strength is just instability

– A candid conversation about hypermobility and yoga: what it is, how to recognize it, and how to practice safely and intelligently if you have it

This is not a passive stretching class. This is movement education — functional, empowering, and built to last. You'll leave with a toolkit of practices you can return to again and again, both on and off the mat.

Suitable for yoga practitioners of all levels, athletes, teachers, and anyone who has ever wondered why their flexibility isn't translating into the movement freedom they're looking for.
