Virtual One-on-one Movement Lessons

Customized one-on-one movement lessons that meet virtually on either ZOOM or FaceTime. Courtney Anne has coached students one-on-one since 2010 with highly specialized training and individualization. Sessions are informed by the Pilates Method, functional fitness, intuitive movement, posture, strength training, mobility, and play.  She uses a holistic approach to wellness in teaching that consider the whole student: mind, body, and spirit. Together we will work to building variety, frequency, and awareness throughout your movement practice.

Sessions will utilize the equipment that each student has available to them at their homes and can include items such as: Pilates apparatuses, hand weights, foam rollers, rings, therabands, and other fitness equipment. No equipment is required for training, but will just provide additional options for the sessions. Just your body and presence required.

To stay aligned with her personal values, Courtney Anne opens herself up to a very limited number of sessions weekly.

Current sessions are available on Mondays and Wednesdays 7am, 8am, 9am, Wednesday 10:15am, and Fridays 6:30am, 7:30am, 8:30am.

Sessions can be 25-minutes or 50-minutes in duration.

Self-Paced Pilates Mat Class Series

A few times a year, Move and Yield Offers a month-long self-paced Pilates mat class series. Each week, receive a new workout that you have access to for the whole week. After the four weeks conclude, we end the series with a live ZOOM class to finish out the session. All 5 classes are included in the price of the series.

Our next series starts in May 2023. Join this self-paced 4-week Pilates Mat Class Series “Construction Work”. This series is designed to help build up our physical structure and help construct a strong base for an active summer. Week one we will set the framework, week two we will arrange, week three we will assemble, and week four we will construct. Each week will build upon the last week’s workout, and we will focus on balance, posture, core, and endurance to help support our physical structure.

When you sign up for this series, each Monday for 4 weeks in May (5/1, 5/8, 5/15, 5/22) you will receive an e-mail with a link to a Pilates Mat Workout Video that you will have access to the whole week. Each workout will be between 30-45 minutes in length. Complete the workout as many times as you’d like throughout the week. The e-mail will also send you a Move and Yield challenge to try and complete by the end of the week. The four-week series will conclude with a live MOVE class Wednesday, May 31st, from 5:00-6:00 PM CST on ZOOM which is included in the price of registration. No equipment will be required for any of the classes in the series.

Not sure on the differences between MOVE and YIELD Classes?

You can think of MOVE classes as a way of quickening and enlivening your body, and YIELD classes as a means of slowing and bringing yourself back to a more internal connection. MOVE classes are a means of physical expression and YIELD classes are a means of personal assessment. All Move and Yield movement classes will emphasize a mind-body connection, dynamic alignment, and whole-body connectivity.

Move and Yield Book Club

A book club that virtually meets bimonthly to discuss a book surrounding various themes surrounding the Move and Yield community. Books will vary in topics relating to: movement, nature, creativity, community, personal introspection, and mindset. 

We will read both fiction and non-fiction titles and join together as a small group for a 90 minute meet-up on ZOOM for an open discussion on concepts presented in the book, guided questions, and hive-minding applications to our daily lives. The session will culminate with an activity led surrounding ideas from the book. Format for the gathering will include: warm-up, group dialogue, guided reflection, and creating. Together we will move, connect, reflect, and create.

After signing up, you will receive snail mail with a short reading guide/prompts, supplementary material, a list of any supplies you’ll need for the activity at the meet-up, and a small gift.

Virtual Meet-ups will happen on ZOOM from 6:00-7:30 PM CST. Meetings will occur in January, March, May, July, September, and November.

Hosted by Courtney Anne Holcomb, movement educator, Pilates teacher, dancer, creative, nature enthusiast, and creator of Move and Yield.

Frequently Asked Questions about Virtual ZOOM Classes:

  • I cannot make the schedule time for the class to join the live virtual class, can I still sign-up and receive a recording? The answer is YES! At the checkout, just put a note in the “Add a note for the seller” (see arrow in photo below) to let me know you won’t be attending in person and would like the e-mailed recording. Then I will know not to wait for you to join the live class.
  • Why is an hour blocked off for the class if the session is 50-minutes long? I schedule one-hour for each class to help account for technology and everyone getting into the ZOOM room. This builds a buffer of 5 minutes at the beginning of class to make sure microphones and audio are working well for everyone, and then 5 minutes at the end to conclude class and transition. Please still log-on a few minutes before the session start time and I will admit you into the ZOOM room. 
  • Do I have to have my camera on during class? Having your camera on is not essential for the group classes, but absolutely welcome. It can be helpful for me to see participants moving to make sure everyone is understanding the cues and exercises being delivered. But since the emphasis of our group classes is moving together instead of individualized feedback, having your video on is not necessary.
  • How do I sign-up for a class? All of our online registration is handled through Square. When you click on an item, you select “Attend” and it will be added to your cart. If you are signing up with a computer, you can then click “add more items” and be brought back to the Featured Items to add more classes. To check out, you will need to click the shopping cart icon in the top right corner, and follow the prompts for checking out.
  • How can I find the upcoming classes? All upcoming classes will be available as “Featured Items” at the bottom of the Move and Yield Square Site. You can scroll through and find each of the classes and formats anytime by saving this link. This is also the link you can use to reserve One-on-one virtual movement sessions with Courtney Anne, and see her open availability.
  • This is my first time attending a Move and Yield class, do I need to sign anything? Yes, after signing up for your first class with Courtney Anne Holcomb and/or Move and Yield, you should receive an e-mail within 48 hours that contains a virtual contract to sign that contains a waiver of liability and informed consent form. Please fill this out and submit before your first session.
