The Motion School

This course was amazing from a-z. It was incredible easy for a beginner to learn from, and the instruction was seamless, clear and concise. Loved this course and can't wait to take another one from Karin!

I thought Motion Intro 1 was a fantastic, well rounded course that was well developed, and had good introductory movements that were clearly defined and explained (although not easy haha). It was challenging in a beatiful way, but when you pick up the flow and movement, the magic really happens. This program was excellent at providing me with new flows for my warmup, improving my backbend and lower body ROM and mobility, and was an excellent supplement on my low impact, non strength training days. I often incorporate animal movements, flow practice in between kettlebell strength circuit workout days and I find this to be a moderate activity that is perfect for "off days". I love Motion Onlines programs - I have Soft Mobility, Intro 1 and am currently working through Intro 2

Writing this as a lifetime "dabbler" of movement disciplines: capoeira, bouldering, partner acrobatics, yoga, weightlifting, and boxing, to name a few. 37 years old at the time of review, with knees, elbows, and shoulders that often need extra love. The program overall was an excellent value for what was offered. I ran Motion Intro 1 over the course of 8 weeks, repeating each session 2x each week to focus on movement quality. I looked forward to every session, and finished feeling accomplished, excited, and eager to learn more. By the end of Motion Intro 1, I knew I had made the right choice in going all in on the Combo package of Motion 1 and 2, as well as an early pickup of Motion 3. Onto the details. What I loved about the program: I loved the options for regression/progression for each movement. I loved the session structure of warm-up, review, singles, minis, lines. I loved the general ethos of caring for your body, easing into skill development, and slowing down / backing off as necessary. This is probably the most impactful lesson I have taken (though doing cool movements is nice too!) Wishlist: I have only taken Motion Intro 1 so far, so knowing this, here is my wishlist for future versions of this course: Additional angles and zoom-ins. Front and side views were great, though I am wondering if there is value in views from above, as well as zoom-ins on particular positions (like hands/feet angles/placements on the ground, etc.). I know this may be tough for smaller operations with limited equipment, so take this suggestion as far as it is applicable to your current situation. Additional talk-throughs. I am a nerd for this kind of stuff, so additional talk-throughs of movements (anything interesting you can share, really), would deepen the experience of the course - though I know we are here to MOVE 🙂 Additional guidance on warming up / prehab / rehab. While I appreciated the warm-ups specific to a given session, I did find myself coming to training on days that I felt extra cold, stiff, slow, etc. Applying the fundamentals of the RAMP protocol was helpful for me, as well the general ethos of showing extra love to specific joints that you so elegantly modeled. However, it would be cool to get some additional education on warm-up principles for those unfamiliar with RAMP or other warm-up approaches that trainees may not be as aware of. Overall, this is my STRONG recommendation for anyone looking to add mobility, balance, flow, softness, and expanded positions of strength beyond conventional calisthenics skills.

Been doing Karin’s movement programs for a little over a year now and her programs are legit. I’ve tried other programs and they are either way too expensive or too time consuming. I love how Karin makes her programs affordable as well as manageable for the novice athlete. She lays out the material in an understandable way and gives adequate professions as well as modifications for us older athletes. She is also quick to reply on social media with questions and feedback. If you’re looking for something different but challenging and want to get more fluid in your movement this program is for you.

Thank you so much for it! I appreciate the structure of it; How next to the short an presist videos you indicated cues and "common mistakes". Also the pdf sheets are clear and help me memrise the seaquance. For the contant its framed and yet give an endless verity as to how to continue and improve at whatever level you are. I personly love the Helicopter brakedown and the coffe grinder extras! the warm-out are already intigrated in my daily routine. After each session i feel more agile and well worked! Thank you!

LOVE IT!!!!

This was my introduction to soft acro and I am hooked now. I had some experience with quadrupedal locomotion but this course helped me to get more fluid movements, learn how to flow different moves together in a seamless way. The instruction is clear and concise with useful cues throughout. I plan to work through the course again and again to continue to master my body. Thanks Karin!
