You’ll also get the recordings of the classes if you ever end up not being able to make it… plus you’ll have these for life so that you can continue your yoga practice after the series is over!
I’m even throwing in the recordings from the last Sport Yoga series we did in Fall of 2021, so that you’ll have even more yoga classes to practice on your own at any time that fits your schedule.
The cost for the full 7-session live class series PLUS the recordings from this series AND the last one we did is $99.

We specialize in kettlebells at FVT personal training and implement unique movements like this one into our workouts regularly. If you’re interested in grabbing one of our last remaining 28-day “Drop-a-Size” Challenge spots so that you can learn how to use KBs to build your abs AND shed body fat all at the same time, reply to this message with the word “CHALLENGE” and we’ll get you all the details!
(Keep in mind – this test does NOT address strength and stability, which are also key components of healthy shoulders … but that’s another article for another day)
If you scored average or poor, this is something you need to work on.
Everyone is a little bit different, and ideally we’d be able to evaluate you more in person, and give you true individualized plan of attack.
But if you’re working on this on your own, and you really aren’t doing anything now to address it specifically, a great starting point is the Sport Yoga series we have coming up:
You know you NEED to stretch and recover, to keep your body from getting sore and tired, to prevent aches and pains, and to recover faster from your training. But you don’t know exactly what to do … and / or you don’t take the time to do it.
That’s why I’ve decided to put on this special Sport Yoga series!
Details and sign up now at the link below, but hurry! – we start Wednesday, April 6th:
If you are looking for improved balance, flexiblity, injury prevention, recovery, stress relief, and body awareness in your life… I encourage you to start on a regular yoga practice.
And we’re kicking around the idea of running another Sport Yoga series this spring!

Want to take a quick assessment of your core strength and hip mobility?
Try this:
*We’re using this to identify areas of opportunity and identify potential weaknesses that could lead to issues down the road if left unaddressed. Remember that understanding mobility levels is helpful, but it’s not the only way to measure your yoga fitness!
BOAT
– Sit in an upright position with your back flat, core and hip flexors actively engaged, and feet lifted off the floor – Try to keep your legs extended, arms extended, and body in a V-shape – Start with the bent knee version, extend the legs for a greater challenge
How’d you do?
If you can’t lift your legs, we need to work on your core and hip flexor strength. You cans start with your feet on the ground and/ore rest your hands on the floor to assist!
If you can’t straighten your legs, we need work work on core strength and hamstring flexibility. You can start with your knees bent / shins parallel to the floor / hands supporting behind the knees!
