XL: Connecting Your Hands to Your Core
With Julie Martin
Do your wrists hurt in your practice? Do you get tight shoulders after a strong vinyasa-based class?
The problem isn’t with the practice. The issue is that activating the muscles that support your hands and wrists comes from much deeper than you ever imagined.
Your hands begin at your deep core level. Yet, many practitioners move their arms only from the shoulder. When you learn the power of connecting your hands into the ground and activating all the way to your core muscles, you’ll free up pressure in the wrists, tension in the elbow and finally let your shoulders take a break.
This XL workshop is perfect for everyone who practices yoga. We unlock the magic in our anatomy, learn how to create space in the joints and get elasticity and power. You’ll find you actually have more strength than you ever knew. Your body will move with ease, and you’ll never have sore wrists again!
What you’ll walk away with:
How to activate the core through the hands
Integrate upper body strength intelligently
Understand the individuality of hand placement
Utilize stability that will support you in arm balances and inversions
Free up the tension in the hands and shoulders, and utilize that, no matter what your practice is
Julie will be offering a series of XL workshops where you’ll unlock the science and subtle intelligence of your fascial system, bone structure, and nervous system. You’ll discover how tension, fluidity, and fascial pathways shape your strength, mobility, posture, energy, mood, and even your mental clarity.
This is where movement becomes mastery — where you learn to work with your body instead of against it, creating more ease, resilience, and freedom in every part of your life.
A practical and embodied approach to functional anatomy. Each session explores key structural and fascial relationships that shape how we move, stabilize, and experience the body. These workshops are suitable for students and teachers at all levels who want to expand their knowledge of anatomy in motion.
Each session weaves together theory, embodied exploration, and practical application, offering clear, tangible tools to bring directly into your practice and teaching.
