Movement Pattern of the Month for June 2026: Spiral Up Like a Corkscrew

Today happens to be National Rotisserie Chicken Day 🐔 (of all things, lol), which gave us the perfect excuse to talk about rotation.

Think of your spine like the dowel running through the center of a rotisserie chicken.

Now before you get too hungry…

The goal isn’t to crank yourself into a twist. The goal is to spiral around the long axis of your spine while staying organized through your ribs and pelvis.

If you’ve been following along with our Movement Pattern of the Month series, this is where March’s Stack Your Buckets comes back into play.

First:
🪣 Stack your buckets (ribs over pelvis)

Then:
🌪️ Twist through the spine

Think about getting taller as you rotate, almost like you’re unscrewing a screw. The spine loves a combination of rotation and elongation. In class I’ll often cue, “Spiral up like a corkscrew.”

Why does this matter?

Because life happens in spirals.

Walking is rotational.
Running is rotational.
Throwing is rotational.
Golf is rotational.
Pickleball is rotational.
Reaching into the back seat is rotational.

Even breathing creates subtle rotational forces through the rib cage.

When we lose the ability to rotate well through the middle of the body, we often start borrowing motion from places that weren’t designed to provide it. The neck gets cranky. The low back gets cranky. The hips get cranky.

The answer usually isn’t more force.

It’s better distribution.

A resilient body isn’t one that moves the most.

It’s one that has the most movement options available when life demands them. We need the Cheesecake Factory menu for our movement options, not that fixed farm-to-table menu with only what’s seasonally available (although it may be cute and delicious). Versatility is key. Train in rotation. Develop a big menu.

So this month, channel your inner rotisserie chicken. Spiral like a corkscrew.

Stay tall.
Keep spinning.
Move with more options.

You don’t have to be perfect.

Every little bit counts.

Deja came to support mama at work for Mother’s Day Weekend.

She was the goodest girl with all our members and helped everyone with their movement practice.

May 2026 Movement Pattern of the Month:
“Show Someone Your Bumhole”

(Hip Hinge)

Most people don’t hinge.

They either squat it…
or move through their spine.

This month we’re dialing in a true hip hinge—
because it changes where the work happens.

We teach hip hinging by finding the “X–Y stretch:”

Y = hamstrings lengthen
X = tension across the seat

Add: “spread the floor with your heels”
and it usually clicks.

If you don’t feel both,
you’re probably loading your back instead of your hips or squatting rather than hinging.

This matters more than people think.

Finding this x-y tension can take pressure off your spine,
build strength where you need it,
and help the pelvic floor lengthen and respond
instead of constantly gripping.

When your body trusts a pattern, it lets you do more.

That’s how we build capacity—
not by forcing it,
but by giving your system something it believes is safe.

I deadlift.

Not because I’m chasing numbers.
Not because it looks impressive on Instagram.

I deadlift because my body needs it.

As a pelvic floor PT and Pilates instructor, I see what happens when we avoid load for too long.
We lose options.
We lose confidence.
We lose capacity.

And as someone who’s hypermobile, navigating perimenopause, with a history of pelvic pain and a nervous system that likes to keep me on my toes (hi POTS)… I don’t get to skip strength.

I need it.

Deadlifts give me:
• Structure where my body has too much freedom
• Feedback I can trust
• A way to build strength without relying on end ranges
• A chance to practice pressure management under load
• Resilience—not just physically, but mentally

Also—this video is my 5th heavy set.
It should look hard.

And if you look closely, you’ll see me start to shift into my right hip. That’s my tell.

So instead of ignoring it or pushing through, I adjusted—
added some single-leg work with the weight held to the outside of the working leg to challenge lateral hip stability and clean up that pattern.

That is the work.

Not perfection.
Not forcing symmetry.
But noticing… and responding.

This isn’t about “pushing through.”

It’s about building a body that can handle more… without flaring, guarding, or shutting down.

Some days that means heavy.
Some days that means light.
Some days that means modifying, regressing, or walking away.

Strength is not the opposite of sensitivity.
It’s what allows a sensitive system to feel safe doing more.



If you’re dealing with pelvic pain, hypermobility, hormonal shifts, or autonomic stuff—
you’re not fragile.

But you do need the right entry point.
