The FAMO FAscia MOvement certification route has 4 modules:
Module 1: Anatomy Trains in Motion
A practical, in-depth 3 day myofascial anatomy course for movement and bodywork professionals.
Nutshell- We learn ANATOMY through movement.
During the course we study in depth the anatomy of the myofascial meridians as per the Anatomy Trains bodymap, through FAMO Fascia Movement exercises.
Anatomy Trains was written by Thomas W. Myers, the 12 myofascial meridians he maps in this book is based on western science, research and years of experience. It offers a helpful model to understand the complexity of the body. The Anatomy Trains in Motion course is officially recognised by Thomas (and I had to pass my Educator ‘test’ with him directly).
The Anatomy Trains in Motion course, written and developed by Karin Gurtner of Swiss based .academy , are for Movement Teachers and Manual Therapists with an interest to facilitate structural integration through MOVEMENT.
Next Anatomy Trains in Motion course I am hosting and teaching:
25-27 September 2026
Millers Way Project, London
9am-5pm
£650

Happy Women’s day South Africa! I hope you felt celebrated and nurtured today, to help with that I have a gift for you. Check out my YouTube channel for a free class I’ve recorded for you.
The theme for Women’s day this year is “Building Resilient Economies for all”. I believe building resilience starts ‘at home’, if we cultivate our own resilience we are in a much better position to support our family & friends...grow the team...lead in the office...ultimately build a resilient business and economy.
Resilience to me is the ability to adapt, recover, learn from the experience and move forward, while in the process staying true to our core values and purpose. It is the capacity to meet life’s challenges with courage, adapt to change and grow through adversity.
Can we learn courage, inner ease, how to better manage stress, train flexibility and adaptability (physical and emotional) on the exercise mat?
I believe that’s a good place to start!
I hope you enjoy the class 💖
A month ago I arrived at Ashuma, a magical retreat venue in the Mountains of Montenegro.
I loved hosting a retreat there and highly recommend them if you’re searching for your next retreat venue.
If you are looking for a venue where your retreaters can truly immerse themselves in nature, Ashuma is perfect.
Ashuma has a calm yet vibrant energy, alive with butterflies, insects and plant life, yet the steadiness of mountains and the wisdom of ancient trees, that holds space for you.
The owners (guardians seems a better word) and staff are kind, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the environment. Ashuma ‘does retreats’ for a living so you are in capable, experienced hands. The studios were well equipped with yoga mats, blocks, bolsters, belts, blankets…and plenty of fresh air and scenery. One nestled in a valley of ferns, where if you lucky, a wild bunny forages while you’re practicing. The other surrounded by dense trees and sanctifying stillness.
We received 2 nourishing vegetarian meals a day and it felt abundant, the food was absolutely delicious and fresh, we never had the same thing twice.
Ashuma offers additional workshops and day trips which can be really useful if you host & teach your retreats individually like I do. We absolutely loved the Skadar lake trip & wild swimming and the Wolf trial mountain walk was spectacular.
We also enjoyed the Russian and Finnish saunas, followed by the ice plunge…and the view from here…jaw dropping!
Evenings around the fire pit under the stars offered special bonding moments between retreaters.
It’s a month since the retreat but I still catch myself daydreaming about doing an early morning movement practice on my private veranda, hearing an orchestra of cicadas as I walk to the dining hall, marvel at the valley of ferns around the Shala…and the butterflies, and the views, and the smoothies, and the views…and nature awake and alive around (and within) me.
You can find all the information about this venue on www.ashuma.me
( and then send me the dates so I can attend as a student next time😉)

This last week has been challenging for me, on a business and personal level.
My anxiety levels felt off the charts Thursday and Friday…so this morning I hiked…
Whether it’s putting one foot in front of the other, noticing the small things or the big views, maybe just the crisp fresh air, but my mind ia finally calmer and I feel so much more at ease.
Walking in nature has a way with me.
What is your ‘go to’ when the whirlpool feels uncontrollable around you?

I’m often asked how FAMO FAscia MOvement benefits me. Or teachers, future students, want to know how FAMO FAscia MOvement will enhance their teaching skills, what will it add for their clients/ patients?
My colleague from Italy, Christina, and I try to summarise an answer during a recent conversation on the streets of Piacenza.
(It’s hard to put into words! Especially when English is not your first language! It has to be felt! Movement is our universal language!)
We believe FAMO FAscia MOvement is simply profound. There are so many benefits on a personal level as well as on a Professional level. Working with the fascial system in a focused way has benefits far beyond the physical. Yes the Body moves with more freedom, we have more postural ease, we become more adaptable, there are in less discomfort, we might feel more agile and ‘springy’. But there is more.
It’s not just about’fascia release’ !
FAMO FAscia MOvement makes people feel spacious in their bodies, as a result they take up space differently. They show up for themselves and others differently. Over time we gain back trust in our body, we feel courage and better resourced. Often people report feeling more grounded, having more clarity, feeling calmer and at ease yet radiantly alive!
If you’re a movement teacher you can start your FAMO FAscia MOvement journey with me this September in London. See highlights for details about courses.
Everyone else who simply would love to explore FAMO FAscia MOvement in their own body, I offer weekly live online classes, alternatively I have a library of pre-recorded classes for you to choose from! Get in touch.
90/90 Hip release and Side bend, followed by Mole in the hole.
The 90/90 hip release and side bend is one of our FAMO Fascia Movement favourites. Some of the benefits include:
💖 mobility - foot, ankle, knee, hip, spine & shoulders
💖 dynamic length - side body, adductors etc
💖 glide - myofascia of the arms, upper & side body
💖 elasticity - from the feet up to the lower ribs
💖 active dynamic pelvic floor training
…of course there are many more benefits for body and mind!
Chasing a mole in the hole on the other hand is one of Lily’s all time favourites!
No animals were (or are ever) harmed in the making of this clip…in fact, once a mole ‘pushed back’ and stared at Lily, she jumped about 2m in the air and back 😂
