Before you can assess, guide, or correct movement in your clients, you need to sharpen your own perception and awareness. As a professional, your greatest tools aren’t just techniques—they’re your ability to sense, feel, and detect hidden movement patterns from the inside out.
These foundational courses will help you teach your clients how to access these essential abilities for lasting change (and you too!).

Many yoga classes speak about the benefits of “hip opening” and “better hip function”. Yet surprisingly, the most common injuries in yoga are related to the hips – back pain, QL issues, piriformis syndrome, labrum tears, SI Joint and more. We will explore how to not wreck your hips in yoga.Progression and Getting Stronger

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.Improving Medical Conditions
A medical diagnosis—whether hypermobility, migraines, psorasis, osteoporosis—doesn’t define what’s possible. We recognize that while a diagnosis may remain, how someone experiences and navigates it can change—often dramatically.
Instead of focusing on what’s “wrong” or trying to “fix” the condition, we focus on how the body adapts, compensates, and responds—and how to shift those patterns for greater ease, stability, and resilience.
This is how true transformation happens—Not by fighting against the body, but by uncovering the clues it offers and guiding it toward more ease and efficiency.

Soften out the ropey feeling of scar tissue. Clear up lymphedema. Because ultimately, tissue can change. This is so vital for people to understand.Age Well
Most conventional approaches assume aging means inevitable weakness, stiffness, and decline. The Movement Detective approach sees something different:
Older adults often improve function faster than younger clients—if given the right approach.
Pain, balance issues, and mobility loss aren’t just part of aging; they’re patterns that can be influenced.
Strength, flexibility, and confidence can be rebuilt at any age.
By understanding how the realities of aging intersect with movement patterns, breath capacity, and nervous system regulation, we empower professionals to help clients navigate their later years with strength, mobility, stamina and ultimately greater freedom and enjoyment

“To analyze movement takes a combination of formal training in anatomical and biomechanical knowledge, and a solid sense of intuition. While the former is attained though time and diligent practice, the latter is more difficult to master. It requires the practitioner to combine reason with instinct and curiosity. Susi has proved to be an expert at this skill, which makes collaborations with her very rewarding. I can trust her to help my clients find new ways to explore their senses and gain a new
connection between the brain, body and spirit. Truly a gifted practitioner and a wonderful person.”
