Twenty years of one idea,
and I am still not done

I was fifteen. A friend of mine from South Korea put me through a simple partner hip stretch before an indoor track race and my mind was blown. You could actually help somebody reach a place they could not get to on their own. The gears started turning that day and they have not stopped since.

My baseball teammates were the first test group, bless them. I spent a whole summer season concocting a routine for us. Later, at Lewis Clark State, I went looking for the biology underneath it all, became a kinesiologist, and wrote my senior thesis on what passive stretching does for adolescents. Some dots connected.

Twenty years of scrutinizing and polishing later, this is the work my whole career sits on. It is a martial art to me. 🌀 The course is me handing it over, properly.


15years old

Where it started. One indoor track meet, one borrowed hip stretch, and a teenager who would not let it go.


20years

Every one of them spent testing this on real bodies, mine included, and throwing out whatever did not hold up.


100s

People who now swear by this work as a staple in their weekly routine. That still humbles me.
