The Autumn 2027 Glide Before Gains Personal Program
Glide first, then intensity, then load. A fascia-informed path to strength, stamina and ease at every age and stage, with Dr Karen Kirkness.
Before we load the body, we help it move well. This program takes you through all three Autumn 2027 live group programmes: 26 live sessions, all 6–7pm UK time, all recorded, with 2 years’ access to the recordings.
What you'll get:
- 1. Glide: The 5F Repertoire. 10 weekly sessions on Thursdays, working through all ~150 spiral movements of the Hand, Shoulder, Foot, Hip and Axial Matrix filaments.
- 2. Build intensity: Tempo for Heart Health (Pleiomobility). 8 sessions on alternate Mondays. Ten "Plays" adding rhythm, rebound and pace, so your spiral practice becomes cardiometabolic training in your heart rate zones.
- 3. Increase the load: 5F Resisted Glide. 8 sessions on the other alternate Mondays. Progressive resistance with weights, kettlebells and bands for bone density, muscle and metabolic health, without sacrificing the suppleness of fascia.
- Recordings of every live session, plus access to the online 5F Repertoire course.

YOGA ALLIANCE CPD
The three programmes count as 26 hours of Yoga Alliance continuing education. Dr Karen Kirkness is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), so registered yoga teachers can log these hours towards their RYT renewal.
