Consider a radically different way to think about movement -
When you understand the system you can support the structure.
Are you a yoga teacher, body worker, midwife, fitness instructor, or do you work with women in any other physical capacity?
Or maybe you have gone down an alternative health route for your own healing, learning about nutrition, cycle health, lifestyle and more.
You've likely found some movement practice, or many, to heal yourself or to help others heal.
Now here's my question to you, on this journey as you learned about the body, did you actually learn FEMALE anatomy and physiology? Are you sure?
OR did you learn, like most of us did, male-body centered teachings projected onto female bodies?
Well sister, we've all been there, teaching or practicing from education based on male bodies.
I'm here to tell you that you have been let down by your education, that this is a big deal, and that acting like male and female bodies are the same is detrimental to our health.
Learning to move like a woman is huge, and that's just the beginning. Learning how nutritious female movement affects every system in the body, and thus our overall health, THAT is what this course is for, and will change your life.
Educating women about their unique female physiology is the FOUNDATION to my work and should be yours as well.
GET STARTED
I'm Adelaide, and "Anatomy and Physiology for everyone" is the flag that I fly.
12 years ago I started studying Anatomy and Physiology, I soon learned that the education I was receiving was not for my female body. I’ve spent the last 10 years of my life unlearning all that I was taught, and reeducating myself on TRUE female focused body learning.
This reeducation included hundreds of hours of movement teacher training, thousands of pages of reading, and the last decade of working with countless women in my hands on practice. My current knowledge of female anatomy and physiology is also based on my years of paying close attention to my lived experience, and my own healing journey. All this to say this information was not readily accessible to me - it took time, experience and searching to know what I know now about the female body.
These days we are lucky that more and more people care about true female physiology, but still see a lot of the information out there is misleading and based on male bodies. I made this course so you have an clear and accessible place to begin with your structural bodily education.
It’s the course I wish I had ten years ago when I started working in women's health, and diving deep into my own healing.
ABOUT THE COURSE
You will leave this course with:
A deeper understanding of why movements are harmful or helpful.
Why some exercises are good for you and some are less supportive.
The importance of practicing posture and breathing for your long term pelvic and overall health.
A thorough understanding of the nervous, skeletal, connective tissue, and muscular systems - and how they all relate to movement.
Confidence in your body knowledge to know what healing path is best for you.
This Course Includes:
Female focused lectures on 4 structural systems of the body.
Specific movement practices for supporting the systems that can be incorporated into exercise and daily movement.
This course pairs perfectly with my Strength Training for the Female Body course, because it is the WHY behind the training.
By learning this information you will feel more confident and informed in applying your female physiologic knowledge in your daily life.
The foundation of your movement practice is unsupportive to the female body.
It's not your fault, but it is your chance to reeducate yourself, for your own body, and for those who you work with.
Do the work, lay the foundation, so you can truly be in support of female physiology.

WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING
-Lindsay-
"Adelaide is a wealth of knowledge on the female body. She helped me navigate pregnancy, birth and post partum with so much groundedness and wisdom. She has helpful explorations for everything from healing a yeast infection to pelvic floor integration to encouraging me to try elimination communication with my baby again after I gave up."
-Nancy-
"Adelaide has an incredible ability to explain what would normally feel very complex to me into simple easy to understand language. This has helped me understand what's happening in my body and how to fully inhabit my female form with more confidence and ease. I've noticed very positive results in my body after even a short time of working with her. I wish all women could soak up her wisdom!"
-Willow -
"When I was in sudden intense and unknown pain, Adelaide gave me simple practices to come back to stability and joy in my body. She taught me how to breathe for the health of my pelvis, and through that breath and a few minutes every day of her delicious movement snacks, I am healing and remembering strength in my postpartum body."
Does this course include movement classes?
What if I don't work hands on with women, is this course still for me?
I don't know any Anatomy - or I know a lot of Anatomy, is this course for me?
