John Doolittle - KAATSU Training

KAATSU is a very safe and effective form of exercise, rehabilitation, and recovery. It was invented in Japan in 1966 by Professor Yoshiaki Sato, M.D., Ph.D. Professor Sato first conceived what's now known as KAATSU in 1966 while sitting on the floor in the traditional Japanese posture known as "seiza." After realising that his blood circulation was blocked in his lower legs, he envisioned a training method that focused on blood flow moderation. Professor Sato began experimenting on himself with bicycle tubes, ropes, judo belts, and bands at various pressures all over his body, methodically keeping track of which type of bands and pressures were safest and most effective. Over the next two decades, he applied KAATSU to thousands of clients and learned what worked best for people of all ages and backgrounds with various kinds of afflictions. Depending on what your goals are, there is an optimal KAATSU application for you. Whether you are looking for a quick injury recovery, are stiving for that extra athletic edge when you perform, or simply want to preserve your youth and maintain muscle tone, there are specific protocols for you.

Michol Dalcourt - Health Coaching, Training Inside out, Female training, programming

Michol Dalcourt was raised on a farm in rural Canada, far from the cities where most Canadian boys grew up vying for top spots on their local hockey teams, watching their idols Saturday nights on "Hockey Night in Canada." While those boys were glued to their televisions, Michol was ending a long day of chores on the farm taking care of animals and crops. But Michol did not long for the life he knew so many other boys lived throughout Canada. He was unique in that he relished being surrounded by nature and in working the land. He was constantly curious and forever asking questions about how things worked. Michol's insatiable curiosity about human design and movement set him on a path towards medical school. One day, while in a cadaver dissection class in university, Michol was assigned to take a look at what a person's body looks like after years of chronic disease and physical strain. Michol remembers realizing that he could continue on a path towards a career in medicine that would focus on "curing" a person after disease and other ailments had set in, or he could learn to teach people to move better, live better, and use their bodies in a form true to nature's inherently brilliant design. It wasn't long before Michol began training the very professional hockey athletes most Canadian boys grew up worshiping. He trained elite college baseball players and Olympic gold medal athletes. He taught them what he knew from the farm- the body moves best when it trains in ways that are consistent with the body's inherent design. We can reach optimal movement if we train the body in integrated fashion, using whole-body movements instead of isolating muscle groups and incurring repetitive strain. Now Michol travels internationally and among the top fitness educators of the world, lecturing at top fitness conferences. He is the inventor of ViPR PRO®, a fitness tool created in harmony with the whole-body training philosophy Michol has always taught. Michol hopes to inspire all those he reaches through his lectures, ViPR training, through PTA Global, through courses he teaches at the University of San Francisco, and now through the Institute of Motion to stay curious, and take pride in helping clients and athletes move and live well. https://www.marinlazic.coach
