Free Your Spine has worked with

What it is

An embodied experience for your people

A Free Your Spine experience takes a room from tension to expansion, through intelligent sequencing, music, breath and release. People arrive in their heads and leave in their bodies: looser, present, and connected, to themselves and to each other.

Cultivating embodiment, nervous system regulation and connection through intelligent design, somatic movement and creative expression.

Free Your Spine at SXSW 2023

Selected from over 3,000 proposals for SXSW Austin 2023. The film is the closest thing to being in the room: hundreds of people moving from tension to expansion, out of their heads and into their bodies.

“Everyone walked out of Free Your Spine talking and smiling.”

“Free Your Spine is movement magic for the people. Free Your Spine to Free Your Mind centered around movement, stretching and clearing the mind. People really opened up, let go, and pushed themselves even when it felt awkward, and that, to me, is what makes our event beautiful.”

The method behind it

One method, four pillars

Every experience draws on the same four pillars that run through the Free Your Spine method, tuned to the room, the moment and the intention.

01

Align

Come back into your body and how you hold yourself, releasing years of bracing and stored tension in your spine, back and hips.

02

Empower

Build real strength, mobility and confidence, safely adapted for back pain, injury, pregnancy and perimenopause.

03

Flow

Move with ease, freedom and creativity rather than effort. Low impact, fully guided and tailored to your body when you arrive.

04

Play

Express, explore and enjoy movement again. What we don't express we often depress, so the benefit shows up in daily life.

Let's design something
for your people

Tell me about your event, audience and what you want them to feel, and I'll come back with a tailored experience and proposal. Only a handful of dates open each season.
