Intermediate

The Intermediate level is the foundation for building a strong, well balanced body with good biomechanics. Most of the exercises consist mainly of small, precise movements to wake up specific muscles that are often hard to reach because of muscle imbalance. By the end of this level, you should learn how to find your neutral spine, breathe well using your diaphragms, and start understanding how to stabilize your trunk while moving your limbs. Even if you are more advanced, I guarantee you will learn new ways to turn on muscles you didn't even know existed.
