If your knees and elbows only cross your mind when they hurt, this 75-minute workshop will change that.
​
This Thursday, I’m teaching a drop-in workshop inside The Freestyle Collective.​

​
​
​💪 Articulate Anatomy: Elbows & Knees 🦵
​
​ Transform vague body awareness into creative movement habits.
​

​
12 pm NYC/EST time

​
​​
Two enticing anatomical fun facts:​
​

​
​🦵→ The kneecap doesn’t just glide up and down—it tilts, shifts, and even rotates slightly as you bend and straighten.

​

Meanwhile, the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia) spiral in opposite directions to efficiently lock and unlock the joint with each step.

If you think knees only bend and straighten
​
(or worse, try to force them into rigid “alignment”)
​
you'll miss the intricate dance that actually keeps them stable and moving well.
​
​
​

💪 → The biceps are famous for the wrong reasons. ​
​
They get all the attention...
​
but in palms-away pull-ups
​
(and a cup grip Iron-X on a pole),
​
the biceps brachii aren't the primary elbow flexors.

That honor goes to the brachialis—the deeper muscle doing more of the elbow-bending work.
​

​
​ Why does it matter if we know how our bodies work?

​
​
​→ → → More accurate sensing sharpens performance, eases pain, and lowers the risk of injury.​
​​
​The more clearly you connect with what you’re made of, the more intelligently you can move.

​

In class, we take body facts and turn them into movement 🌀 experiences 🌀

The Articulate Anatomy: Knees + Elbows class itinerary:​
​

🦴 Anatomy Journey: feel into what your elbows & knees actually do (spoiler: more than hinge)

🧩 Coordination puzzles: brain games to upgrade your elbow & knee control
​

🎶 Improv play: because mobility makes more sense when it grooves with music
​

In other words, class is a sprinkle of joint mechanics, a dash of prompt-magic, and a rhythmic pulse that drops you into the flow zone.
​

It’s a $25 drop-in.
​
No membership required.

​
​PS: That noisy “sand” or “gravel” feeling in your knee is usually just tissues or bubbles moving around.
​
Crepitus is the name.​
​
Annoying, yes, but not a sign that your knees are turning to stone.
​
In fact, moving more, through full range, (with improved body maps) is often the best way to quiet it down.
