Hello, I'm Chris

I work with people to understand how the human body organizes itself for movement, stability, and adaptation.

My focus is not on isolated anatomy or fixed “correct” positions, but on the living, responsive system that continuously adjusts to gravity, load, experience, and environment.

Over the years, my work has developed through medicine, natural health, and yoga — not as separate disciplines, but as different ways of approaching the same question:

How does movement actually emerge in a living body?


A systems view of movement

The body does not move as a collection of separate parts.
It moves as a continuously adapting, interconnected system.

Muscles, fascia, bones, nerves, and breath are expressions of one integrated structure responding to demand.

Posture is not a fixed alignment, but a temporary organization within a dynamic system.
Movement is not produced in one place, but distributed through relationships and tension patterns across the whole body.

 

How I work

My work exists in three connected formats:

  • Online movement anatomy education
    Structured courses that help people understand how the body organizes movement, load, and adaptation through applied anatomy and functional principles.
  • Live teaching and workshops
    Practical exploration of movement, perception, and coordination in real time, where concepts become embodied experience.
  • Hands-on clinical and movement-based work
    Individual sessions where anatomical understanding is applied directly to movement patterns, regulation, and functional change.

Across all three formats, the underlying approach is the same: understanding how the body adapts, rather than how individual parts are “trained” in isolation.

 

Fascia as a lens, not a system

Modern fascia research provides useful insight into how force and tension are distributed through the body.

In my work, fascia is not treated as a separate system, but as a useful way of observing continuity, load transfer, and adaptation across tissues.

It helps describe movement — it is not the explanation itself.

 

Online courses

My online movement anatomy courses are designed for practitioners, yoga teachers, and movement professionals who want to go beyond surface-level anatomy.

They focus on:

  • how movement is organized through integrated tissue systems
  • how load and tension are distributed through the body
  • how adaptation changes structure and function over time
  • how to translate anatomical understanding into practical teaching and movement choices

The aim is not memorization of anatomy, but a functional understanding that changes how you see and work with the body.

 

Education and practice

I teach internationally in movement education, yoga, and anatomy-based training programs.

Across all contexts, the intention is the same: to support a shift in perception — from seeing the body as something to correct, to understanding it as something that continuously adapts.

This shift changes how we practice, how we teach, and how we relate to movement itself.

 

A simple orientation

At the core of my work is a simple idea:

The body is always adapting to what we repeatedly do.

When this is understood, movement becomes less about achieving ideal positions and more about working intelligently with change.

 

This approach is not about adding complexity.
It is about clarity — and about making movement understandable, usable, and applicable in real practice.

What I'm offering you:

My passion for everyone's wellbeing has inspired the development of three broad categories I'm offering my skills and knowledge in. Online courses, in person teaching, and private sessions and consultations.

Online Courses

My online courses cover all aspects of movement anatomy for yoga practice and any kind of sport and exercise. The principles of a fascia-based body can be applied to improve and transform your practice into a sustainable healthy one.

Courses range from short, topic focused to full multi-modular certification courses.

Live Teaching

I love teaching and interacting with people live. Live teaching of entire modules of yoga teacher trainings, shorter workshops, and yoga classes are part of what I offer.

Both in-person and live-online teaching are part of what I offer and deliver worldwide.

Take a look at the events page by clicking below, or contact me to inquire or schedule an event.

Private Sessions

This is where the real effective work happens. Learn, practice, transform and realign your body and practice with one-on-one or small group sessions.

My unique combination of being a naturopath, yoga teacher and anatomy specialist allow me to target and suggest specific individual practices and applications.
