WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
In these strength series, you’ll gain understanding of how resistance training and impact training can be powerful tools for:
-
Enhancing sensory feedback

Improving proprioception and motor control

-
Relieving pain and sensitivity in the glutes and lateral hip areas and shoulder rotator cuff related discomfort

​
These programs are about more than how to perform exercises or simply getting in your weekly strength session.
​
Beyond form, resistance, sets and reps, we will help you understand how to train yourself for weeks, months, and years to come.
​
You’ll learn…
-
How to achieve similar strength gains across a variety of equipment, so you’ll have more options at the gym and at home
-
Strategies for monitoring your response to workouts and making sense of new sensations.
-
Tools for managing exercise intensity levels throughout the week and a better understanding of rest and recovery
-
How to focus your weight training methods on improving specific qualities that balance your time spent enjoying yoga asana and other embodied movement modalities
MEET YOUR COACHES
After a 14 year career teaching yoga and mentoring yoga teachers, Caitlin transitioned into other systems of holistic movement, somatics, strength and conditioning. Through this evolution, she experienced firsthand how beneficial strength training and cardio conditioning can be—not only on a physical level—but mentally, for emotional stability, pain management, and a confidence boost that extends beyond physical endeavors.
​
Caitlin helps women over 40 prevent and treat osteopenia, osteoporosis, joint pain, and tendon irritation with resistance exercise. Most of her services are geared towards those who’ve been underloaded over a lifetime of bodyweight practices like yoga, dance, Pilates, barre, and walking.
​
At Practice Human we’re thrilled to bring together a diverse group of therapists, teachers, trainers, and coaches to work together and SUPPORT YOU through a continuum of care.

Giulia’s path has evolved from a career as a professional dancer to an educator of movement and now a Doctoral student of Physical Therapy. Her experiences and several injuries pushed her to pursue extensive studies in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and biomechanics, and the years she spent healing and recovering from injury have provided her with invaluable tools and a unique skill set that informs how she treats and cares for others on their own physical rehab path.
​
Giulia’s mission is to provide empathetic, intelligent, thoughtful, and thorough movement education and treatment through a science backed, integrative, and multidisciplinary approach. Her offerings are geared toward helping students and clients unravel the web of the body in an anatomically holistic way, creating space for discernment, discovery, learning, and healing.
