The Purpose

This is a 4 hour module and program focussing on the WHY behind your WHAT! During each module, we will tap into Nora St. John, MS, creator of Balanced Body Education and Advanced Movement Principles. With her academic background + rich understanding MVMT, we'll get beyond WHAT the exercise is and get inside WHY you're teaching it to the body or bodies in front of you.

In WITHIN REACH, Nico will complement and couple MVMT strategies and FUNctional ways to focus on these academic concepts alongside Nora's lecture and give you ideas and exercises to refresh your brain and body for many moons to come.
