Do You Feel..?

.. frustrated with not seeing any progress in your backbends and splits even though you have been putting in the work for months and even years?

.. discouraged that you cannot keep up with the teacher and the others in your yoga (or a movement) class?

.. tired of feeling pain in your hips, neck or spine that is preventing you from moving with ease and enjoying your life?

.. stuck because you think you “could never do that” as you’re not naturally flexible?

.. tired of not progressing in your sport (crossfit, martial arts, dance, weight lifting, etc.) as you’re lacking the needed range of motion?

Contrary to what most people say, you’re not doomed because of your genetics and it DOESN’T have to take you years to get to your goal.

THE BIGGEST FLEXIBILITY (& mobility) MYTHS

MYTH #1

It will take years to see ANY progress..

It might, if your game plan is only to be going to yoga classes or focus on passive stretching. It will NOT if you follow a smart focused protocol of proper mobility and flexibility training. Do you have a goal? Train for it!

MYTH #2

If you’re not naturally flexible, you’re doomed

It’s amazing how alive this myth still is. Let me put it straight: Genetics might help in terms of flexibility, but if you weren’t born with flexible genes or weren’t a dancer / gymnast while growing up, you are not doomed. If you put in the work, you WILL achieve your goals, that’s a fact. No matter where you are in your practice or how old you are!

MYTH #3

Passive stretching is the best way to get flexible

If you want to spend many months and years before seeing any real progress, sure, do passive stretching. If you want the most effective way that actually promotes not only passive flexibility, but also good mobility, read on..

.. and the biggest myth of all:

Yoga is the best tool out there to make you flexible and mobile (NOT!)

Before I jump to explaining you why yoga is truly NOT the best tool to make you flexible, read what one of my Beyond Flexibility students, Kéanne, has to say first:

Kéanne is a perfect example of somebody who has been going to yoga classes for years, but hasn’t seen much flexibility improvement.

I have always struggled with my front splits. Several months ago I have decided to focus on training them, but saw NO improvement. It has been only 

4 weeks since I started Beyond Flexibility and look at that! I can tell you guys it’s working!!

– Kéanne

This is what happened after Kéanne ditched yoga (for her flexibility training) and started implementing different techniques..

BUT WHY IS YOGA NOT GREAT FOR FLEXIBILITY? 

(my story)

Many people think that yoga is the best tool to get flexible, I thought so, too. With so many yogis out here on Instagram (me included!) showing off the deep hamstring stretches and backbends, it’s easy to think that yoga is the best way to develop that flexibility you are after.

But years spent in the yoga industry taught me..

..that it’s not really the case. More so, I discovered that there is a not a lot of yoga teachers and yoga enthusiasts who got to their level of flexibility without paying an ugly price in a form of an injury or two. Not necessarily because practicing yoga is harmful, but because the practice of yoga is often being abused nowadays. 

I tore my hamstring three times..

I personally suffered from at least three injuries where one of them took about two years to heal with a big risk of flaring up again whenever not being careful. Just because I thought the way things are taught is the right way (bikram yoga, ehm). It simply wasn’t for me. And I know I’m not alone, so I feel like it’s time to properly address the issue.

We must remember, yoga is not gymnastics..

Its main purpose is not to make you limber and crazily stretched out. Yoga is about journey inwards and should be treated that way. If deep stretches are your goal, be smart about it!

Unfortunately lots of yoga positions promote passive flexibility which means you have very little actual control of your body in those deep stretches. This is not very useful and can be dangerous.

Let me explain a bit more, because it’s important. Why would passive flexibility be dangerous or not useful?

Not having control over your range of motion is DANGEROUS..

.. as it can lead to injuries during your practice and it creates imbalance in your body (too much flexibility versus strength is not good and can lead to all sorts of issues, such as shoulder dislocation).

Passive flexibility is NOT USEFUL..

.. apart from taking a cool shot on Instagram of your deep splits. Instead, work on developing control in that range of motion so you can unlock many new movement patterns. Then you enter the world of badassery (basically that’s all we’re about around here, hehe).

Don’t get me wrong..

I LOVE yoga, otherwise I would have never decided to teach it AND yoga that is properly practiced can be very beneficial for increasing flexibility and mobility, BUT it pales in comparison to other techniques (in terms of increasing range of motion).

So if more flexibility is your goal, you’re better off with choosing a proper mobility & flexibility plan focused on your goals, instead. 

back to my story.. WHAT’S THE PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING?

Stretching is not just about your muscles, but your brain, as well! *mic drop*

Most of us think that stretching means that you just literally stretch the tissue, the muscle itself, and that’s it. Well, that’s not really true. What is actually happening is that you are increasing your tolerance to it and the nervous system is actually the one allowing you to perform those positions.

Stretching sensation is more an issue of sensation, not mechanics.

Think about it: What happens when you go over your range of motion – you feel either pain or your muscle stiffens. Both of those are protective mechanisms of your nervous system.

The priority of your CNS is to keep you alive at all costs. You might want to run a marathon, climb a mountain or get into hanumasana (splits), but your CNS doesn’t care about that. It only wants to protect you from physical threats. The CNS’s beliefs about what is a danger to survival are based on millions of years of evolution – eaten by predators was a danger. Therefore, injuries like a pulled muscle can kill you. And the most obvious protective mechanisms are pain and the startle reflex, but also weakness and stiffness.

Stretching is more about teaching your BRAIN that the position is safe, rather than elongating the actual muscle.

.. And this one simple thing helped me achieve the goals I have been working on for years in just a few months..

If STRETCHING is more about teaching your BRAIN that the position is safe, rather than just elongating the actual muscle, how can you teach the BRAIN that the position is safe?

I’m glad you asked!!

Because that’s exactly what makes Beyond Flexibility special and why this system works like none other. Because we’re not looking only at the body, but our nervous system, as well, teaching it to let us into deeper ranges of motion than it would normally do. 

After having torn hamstring 3 times, I thought there is no chance in achieving splits (I was never able to do them, even though I have practiced yoga for 6 years). After I introduced the practices that I now teach in Beyond Flexibility – voilá. It took me about 3 months of training.

Imagine If You Could..?

.. do all those fancy moves you have always wanted to be able to do, such as splits or deep backbends 

.. move with ease and confidence 

.. release the tension and get rid of the pain in your neck, shoulders, spine and hips

.. walk into a yoga or any other movement class and be able to keep up with the teacher and others

.. be part of an inspiring and supportive community that will help you out on your journey of becoming a badass 

INTRODUCING

Beyond Flexibility is an effective mobility system that addresses your body’s unique needs and helps you achieve your goals:

This is for those of you that are tired of pains and aches and not seeing any progress with your efforts towards better flexibility and mobility.

Beyond Flexibility is perfect for YOGIS, DANCERS, MARTIAL ARTISTS, GYM GOERS and other MOVEMENT ENTHUSIASTS, as well as for BUSY PARENTS, or OFFICE WORKERS who don’t want just the same old stretches anymore or being forced into long boring passive stretches.

Instead, I will teach you my “special sauce” method that trains your muscles in a way that simply allows more stretch and freedom.

The unique Beyond Flexibility method stands on 

three key components:

Increasing range of motion in a safe way means striking the perfect balance between flexibility and strength in a focused approach that will ensure the least amount of time invested.

WHY BEYOND FLEXIBILITY WORKS SO WELL?

Lots of books and video courses share with you strategies like long holds of passive stretches, doing various different movement every day or offering yoga classes as the best way to get flexible. This is a cookie cutter approach and in my experience both as a practitioner and a teacher just doesn’t work. Well.. if you don’t have 2 hours a day to spend on stretching our want to wait years for real results. Who would?

Instead, I believe in a FOCUSED APPROACH = less time invested, 

much bigger effect.

Apart from a Focused Approach, there’s also one more thing that sets Beyond Flexibility apart from other flexibility programs out there. And that is its emphasis on developing strength in the end ranges of motion.

Why is developing strength in the end ranges of motion important?

The body won’t allow you to go where it doesn’t feel safe. Because as I’ve shared with you before – stretching is not just about your body, but your brain, as well. 

And that’s where active stretching and mobility comes to play, because it uses not only your flexibility but the strength of the muscle, as well. Create the feeling of safety and support by increasing strength in the end ranges of motion and you’re golden. 

PROVEN METHOD

Beyond Flexibility program consists only of the most effective drills and routines. Don’t expect a cookie cutter approach or just a selection of random yoga stretches. This approach has been tested and been proven the most successful – both by me and my students. 

TARGETED TO YOUR NEEDS

With Beyond Flexibility, you are not wasting your time with general stretches you don’t need. Instead, you pick a routine and drills based on a skill or an area you want to work on. Say goodbye to hour long stretching session and training that doesn’t bring you the results you are after. 

But don’t just take my word for it!

Rachel has seen great measurable improvements in the flexibility of her wrists, shoulders, hamstrings and after she reached her first ever backbend, she was sold..

I find myself doing things I would have never dreamt of doing. A couple of weeks ago I have nailed my first ever backbend and I was sooo excited! I never thought I could do this!!! Thank you Karin for your amazing, supportive programs.

– Rachel, 49

Danielle has been doing yoga for about 15 years AND has been a certified yoga teacher for about 7 of those. She has always struggled with flexibility in her legs, but the techniques taught in Beyond Flexibility has helped her in an amazing way. So much that she is now teaching some of the drills and principles in her own yoga classes!

I feel like that (Beyond Flexibility techniques) has made the practice of my students much better and helped them to have a better foundation for their own flexibility and mobility. 

I love that the programs are short, I can do them before I go to work in the morning and I like how flexible the program is – I can choose what I want to work on that day from front splits, middle splits, but also backbends, shoulder mobility or overall wellness. It feels like a personalized program and I really like that.

THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU IF..

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR YOU IF..

Theory videos so you truly understand the strategy behind your training 

There’s one thing that sets apart those that are successful from those that aren’t and that is consistency. You have to show up. And I believe that it’s much easier to show up for yourself and practice if you really understand what’s going on and WHY is the practice going to benefit you. That’s why in these videos I’m explaining you all you need to know about stretching, flexibility and mobility.
