Knees, am I right?!
They really hold the stories and impacts of our lives and living.
No knee goes unscathed, emotionally or physically.
But here’s the thing: they have something to share with us; about life, and nature, and inhabiting our brilliance in the world.
You don’t have to go on despite your knees, you can bring them with you.
Hi, I’m Megan!
…and I’m obsessed with anatomy. Not just clinical cold anatomy (though I’m a geek for that too, and you’re gonna learn some cool shit here).
I’m obsessed with what our anatomical structures have to offer us as we unlearn toxic systems over and over and over again, and re learn attuning to the cycles of nature and aliveness. I call it Enchanted Anatomy.
And we’re about to turn everything we think about our knees on its head… or on it’s legs and feet?! Anyway, are you coming?
I have been teaching Pilates and movement for over a decade, and man have I seen some knees…
And here’s what I’ve learned time and time again:
Our knees deserve our attention in more ways than frustration and eye rolling and the humor of aging.
Hey, I’m not saying send that away - I’m just saying you can ALSO appreciate this area of your body with fresh vitality.
Our knees deserve our awe and our appreciation. They have so much to offer us…
Our knees crunch, they pinch, they ache.
They make clicking and grinding sounds.
But they also fold.
And absorb.
And hold upright.
Sometimes they are supple and sometimes they are stiff.
Maybe you’ve done PT. Maybe you work out and stretch regularly. You’re committed and devoted to your health and well being, and man, those knees are coming along for the ride, aren’t they?!
The knee joint is the meeting point between the two longest bones in the body.
In standing and walking, our knees carry most of our weight. In sitting and getting small, they fold fully on themselves. They know how to travel to extremes.
Our knees help us travel through space and many of us know the impacts of life lived in both the capabilities and deterioration of our knees - we feel our lives here.
Our knees help us both sit on the floor with the children, and stand our ground and speak truth.
Enchanted Anatomy
can move us from sustaining to celebrating.
We don’t just have to put up with our knees and hope for the best. We can learn to really be in our knees and inhabit them as a mover of our lives;

WELCOME TO:
Weak at the Knees,
Strong at the Knees
This is a physical intervention AND a consciousness expansion.
01
the evolution + structure
02
your stories + experience
03
train + strengthen
“I have more flexibility and more strength after this work - and that confidence is extending to other parts of my life too!”
What to expect: How we will commune with your knees
We’ll learn the musculoskeletal structure of and the evolution of our knees, and the poetry and art to be found there.
🦴
We’ll take time to consider the stories that live in our individual knees - what they have gone through and how the embodiment of that history lives in our legs and our psyches.
🌀
We’ll find the structures themselves in our actual bodies, and practice feeling the anatomy as we move.
📍
🏋️
We’ll finish with a workout celebrating the knees - a series of movements you can adapt to your particularities, building fluidity, strength, confidence and pleasure. And you’ll have access to a recording of that series forever!
“I can’t believe how helpful it is to be able to visualize the anatomy… I’m not just doing my exercises the way my physical therapist told me to do them and hoping I have it right. I can actually feel what’s happening and know I’m getting it right, for me. amazing!”
We are going on a journey into the power of our knees - we will be in the ground, on the ground and holding our ground.
Weak at the Knees, Strong at the Knees.
Are you coming?!
