About the course

What does coming back to training after a long(ish) break mean for our bodies? What changes when we are away from the studio?

Whether you have been away from training due to travel, changes in life situation, injury/illness (that is now recovered), this is the course for you. Originally developed for a return from COVID quarantine, the course will help you understand the changes that occur in our bodies when we are not training and what happens when we start returning to circus activities and the stresses it puts on it.

You may have tried to keep up with training, but life often gets in the way and sometimes we aren't able to get into the studio. So what happens when you return to having access to your apparatus, your coaches, and your training partners? How can we do it safely?

Join the talk to learn more about safely returning to training.
