1GLIDE: THE 5F REPERTOIRE

Learn the full Five Filaments repertoire of around 150 spiral movements, live with Karen. Ten weekly sessions work methodically through the Hand, Shoulder, Foot, Hip and Axial Matrix filaments, restoring the conditions for glide before you ask more of your body.

Thursdays, 6–7pm UK, 7 January – 18 March 2027 (no session 11 February). All sessions recorded. £165

2BUILD INTENSITY: PLEIOMOBILITY

Tempo for Heart Health. Pleiomobility is spiral movement played at tempo. Across 10 live sessions you'll learn ten "Plays" that add rhythm, rebound and pace to your Five Filaments foundations, so your mobility practice becomes cardiometabolic training in your heart rate zones.

Alternate Mondays, 6–7pm UK, 11 January – 17 May 2027. All sessions recorded. £165

3INCREASE THE LOAD: 5F RESISTED GLIDE

You know how to glide. Now it's time to load. Each of the 10 sessions adds progressive resistance to the spiral patterns you already know, using wrist and ankle weights, dumbbells, kettlebells and bands. Built for bone density, muscle and metabolic health, without sacrificing the suppleness of fascia.

Alternate Mondays, 6–7pm UK, 18 January – 24 May 2027. All sessions recorded. £165
