New Group Program — Founding Cohort

You've put in real effort with your body. This time, let's find out why it hasn't clicked.

PT, Pilates, personal training — you've tried the conventional route, and something's still off. The Alignment Circle is a 12-week small group built to find out what, and work with it directly.

Why It Hasn't Clicked

Strength without alignment just reinforces the pattern you're already in.

Physical therapy resolves the injury. Pilates builds control. Personal training builds strength. All three can work exactly as designed — and you can still walk away feeling like your body never quite reorganized around the fix.

That's usually not a sign any of it failed. It's a sign the structural pattern underneath — the compensation your body built up before you ever started treatment — never got directly addressed. Load and repetition on top of a misaligned base just makes the base stronger, tightness and all.

Alignment before strength isn't a slower way to get the same result. It's addressing a different layer entirely.

What's Different Here

A small group, moving through real structural work together.

This isn't a fitness class layered on top of what you've already tried. Each week builds toward the next in a spiral — foundational alignment patterns get revisited at increasing complexity as the group progresses, so nobody's left behind and nobody's held back waiting for the group to catch up.

It's trauma-informed by design: an application process (not first-come, first-served) so the group is genuinely aligned in values and pace, explicit group agreements around confidentiality and no comparison between members, and a container small enough that you're never just a face in a crowd.

Real change here does ask something of you between sessions — a few minutes a day, not a workout, just consistent reinforcement. That small daily practice is what actually lets a new pattern take hold.

Investment

$497or $166/month for 3 months

This is the founding cohort rate. You're getting individualized attention inside a small, screened group at roughly a third of a comparable 1:1 rate — while helping shape the first run of this program.

Future cohorts will be $597.

Worth Knowing Before You Apply

Who this isn't for

  • You're looking for a fast fix — this is real structural change, and it takes the full 12 weeks to show up.
  • You want to jump straight into strength or cardio — alignment comes first here, by design, not as a warm-up.
  • You can't commit to a few minutes of practice most days — that small daily piece is what makes the pattern actually change.
  • You'd rather work 1:1 than in a group — Structural Alignment sessions are the better fit, and that's a completely valid choice.
