Welcome to Space Movement Academy
Welcome to Space Movement Academy Read Below to get to know the layout. I’ve also attached a video with more information on what we’re all about! Finding Your Way Around You’ll notice a few tabs at the top — here’s what each one is for: 🏡 General — Conversation, questions, theories, and anything else around movement, rehab, and life. 🤓 Nerds — This is where we have our deep dives! 💎 Gems — Share movement cues, tips, tricks, or anything that’s made a real difference for you. 🏆 Wins — Finished a workout for the first time? Ran your first fun run? Competed at the Olympics? Share it here. All wins count. ⏮️ Recordings — Can’t make a live recording? Don’t stress, find all tutes and workouts recordings here! Plus additional workouts, exercises and more. - As the host of this community I will be frequently posting, however that does not mean I have to be the only one. Post your own workouts in recordings, post your wins, post your tips and tricks in Gems, pose a question in the nerds group! Let's learn, grow and explore together. 🏛️ The Classroom is where deeper and specific education lives — explore it at your own pace. Say Hello When you’re ready, we’d love to hear from you. Drop a post and tell us a little about yourself. Here are a few prompts if it helps: • Who are you and where are you from? • What brings you to Space Movement Academy? • What does movement mean to you right now — and where would you love it to take you? If you’re not quite ready yet, that’s completely fine. Have a look around, get comfortable, and know that whenever you’re ready to show up, we’ll be here. This is your space. Take your time, explore, ask questions, and enjoy the process.

Blog post #1
Why understanding movement requires more than muscles, joints and exercises This one is for the Nerds. I thought I’d challenge myself to write up a weekly blog post on Mondays for the nerds. Today is a ridiculously simple question: How does the body work? It’s a question I’ve become increasingly interested in throughout my career, and unfortunately, the more I learn, the less straightforward the answer seems to become. Open an anatomy textbook and we can identify muscles, bones, joints, nerves, tendons, ligaments and organs. Open a biomechanics textbook and we can start discussing forces, moments, levers, stiffness and load transfer. Open a neuroscience textbook and suddenly we’re talking about sensory information, motor planning, cortical networks, reflexes, perception, learning and neuroplasticity. Then we could study physiology. Psychology. Pain. Fascia. Motor learning. Strength and conditioning. Skill acquisition. Behaviour. The environment. And somewhere amongst all of that… a human being moves. That is what makes movement so fascinating. And it creates the central idea behind much of what we do: The body doesn’t work in isolated parts, even though sometimes we need to study the parts to understand the whole. The Problem With Breaking Humans Into Pieces Reductionism has been extraordinarily useful for science. If something is complicated, break it into smaller pieces. Study the pieces. Understand them. Then reconstruct the system. This approach has taught us an enormous amount about human anatomy and physiology. We can identify the attachment sites of the gluteus medius. We can measure quadriceps force. We can examine tendon stiffness. We can record muscle spindle activity. We can study cortical activation during movement. We can calculate joint moments during running. All of that information matters. But there is a potential problem. Understanding every component individually doesn’t necessarily explain the behaviour of the whole system.

Chair Mobility & Flow
No need to get on and off the ground. Just using a chair, this is a nice mobility and stability 10-15minutes flow.

Kettlebell Conditioning Flow
A nice kettlebell flow workout. This is a good stand alone conditioning circuit, or can be used as a bit of a finisher. (Be cautious with power movements like “the snatch” movement, if being used as a finisher, can remove the snatch movement and is still a great finisher).
