I am a total nerd when it comes to, well, lots of things, but one of those things is the science of learning. So I thought I would teach a short masterclass on the topic.

✨ How do you design a class that feels good in the moment and builds skill over time?
Join Jenn Pilotti for a 60-minute masterclass on the art and science of class design.

You’ll learn how to structure sessions using principles of motor learning, attention, and retention so your students (or you!) actually progress.

What you’ll take away:
✅ How to sequence drills and transitions to support progression
✅ When to offer constraints vs. verbal instructions
✅ How to balance repetition and variability for long-term gains
✅ Why how you frame a task matters as much as the task itself
📅 Saturday, Sept 27
⏰ 9–10AM PDT
💻 Recording available for 14 days

This session is perfect for coaches, trainers, teachers, and curious movers who want to bring science-backed principles into their classes.

For the five of you who will see this, a new blog post is up:

The shoulders are one of the most versatile joints in the body. They’re capable of extraordinary freedom—pressing, pulling, lifting, and reaching in multiple directions. But with that freedom often comes feelings of instability or tension. Many people experience shoulders that feel tight, restri...

Since I like to create content that very few people see because I haven't taken the time to study how algorithms work, I figured I would continue with the trend by posting a YouTube video (which Facebook won't like) to my Facebook business page (which gets extremely low visibility and engagement even when I post content that isn't from outside sources).

For the three people who will see this, thank you for being here--seriously. The internet is very noisy these days.

In this week's tutorial, we explore a simple yet powerful core activation starting from a hands-and-knees position.🔑 Key focus:Freeing the tailbone for bett...

Ever skipped a hobby because you didn’t think you were flexible enough?

Same. 🙋‍♀️

I used to think flexibility was a prerequisite.

Turns out—it’s a byproduct of doing the thing.

In this carousel, I share how my flexibility improved without stretching for hours or chasing poses—just by moving in thoughtful, consistent ways.

✨ If you’re curious what that can look like, my course Root to Rise: A Mind-Body Approach to Handstands starts July 16. Only 5 spots left!

🌀 In Root to Rise, we explore all of these and more—through live classes, short practices, and real feedback.

Movement is never just about muscles.

It’s about perception, sensation, and your brain’s map of your body.

This is what we explore in Root to Rise, a 6-week handstand program that goes deeper than just “hollow body.”

Want to feel more confident upside down?

Handstands aren’t a magical skill.

They won’t help you run faster or jump higher.

But they will improve your body awareness, teach you how to transfer weight between your feet and your hands (and back again), and—maybe most importantly—they can be fun.

So, what does the first clip have to do with the second?

(Hint: the exercise matters a lot less than the focus.)

What does puppy training have to do with handstands?

More than you think. 🐾🤸‍♀️

I started training our pup in short, 5–10 minute sessions—just a few times a week.

Turns out, that’s exactly the kind of practice that sticks.

The same goes for movement.

Want to actually learn a handstand (not just survive one)?

It’s not about grinding.

It’s about rest, awareness, and focused effort—spread out over time.

This is the foundation of Root to Rise, my 6-week handstand course built on a sustainable, mind-body approach.

Think handstands are only for the strong, super flexible, or fearless? 🤸‍♀️

What if I told you handstands are actually for anyone who is curious about going upside down?

Here are 5 common misconceptions about handstand practice—and what might actually help you find balance, control, and confidence when you’re upside down.

💡 Hint: It’s less about brute strength and more about connection.

👇 Which myth have you believed?

Root to Rise, my 6-week mind-body handstand course, opens soon.
