This live, three-hour online workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to the key challenges and clinical considerations involved in working with clients who live with hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), or connective tissue disorders.

Led by hypermobility specialist Jeannie Di Bon, this interactive session introduces the core concepts, movement adaptations, and nervous system-aware strategies that underpin her evidence-based approach: the Integral Movement Method (IMM).

Whether you’re new to this client population or looking to refresh your understanding, this workshop equips you with the foundational knowledge needed to work safely, intelligently, and compassionately.

Knowing the exercises matters. But so does recognising the person in front of you, with their own experiences, beliefs and history.

Thank you, Liz, for this thoughtful reminder.

Everyone can choose their own Reformer but if the carriage comes with its own sound effects, we may have questions. 😅

A good deal is always welcome, but quality, stability and correct setup matter when safety is involved.

Teacher training is about more than learning the material.
It’s about sharing ideas, practising together and having mentors who support you along the way.

Thank you, Susan, for this important reminder.

Squeezing harder doesn’t mean getting stronger

As Soo Hui explains, real strength emerges when we allow the whole body to work together, with less gripping, less stiffness and more ease.

Thank you, Soo Hui, for sharing this perspective.
