What Is Foundation Training and How Does It Work?

What is Foundation Training?

Foundation Training is a movement practice that teaches you how to use your body with more support, length, and control.

The method focuses on decompression, anchoring, breath, and stronger movement patterns through the posterior chain. It is designed to help you become more aware of how you stand, move, and load your body in daily life.

You will learn positions and cues that can support posture, strength, mobility, and better movement habits over time.
