Join us at Koa Fit for a unique workshop with Lauri Nemetz, MA, BD-DMT, EYT500, LCAT, CIAYT, an internationally recognized educator, anatomical dissector, movement specialist, and author whose work bridges anatomy, fascia, movement, and human connection.

Lauri has been an adjunct professor at Pace University since 2004, where she has taught yoga, myofascial anatomy, and movement studies. She is also an independent anatomical dissector, contributing to several projects including KNM dissections, and serves as a lead dissector with the international Fascia Net Plastination Project. Her work has been featured at conferences around the world, including the American Association for Anatomy, Experimental Biology, the Fascia Research Congress, the American Dance Therapy Association, and the Movement: Brain, Body, and Cognition conferences hosted by Oxford University and Harvard Medical School.

She is the author of The Myofascial System In Form and Movement (Handspring Publishing, 2023), a resource for movement professionals, therapists, educators, and anyone curious about their body seeking a deeper understanding of fascia and its role in human movement.

This workshop combines engaging lecture with guided movement exploration. Lauri will share the latest understanding of the fascial system and then lead participants through interactive movement experiences designed to help you sense and appreciate fascia within your own body.

Lauri describes herself as "an explorer" who is passionate about helping people develop meaningful conversations with their own bodies and with one another through movement. Whether you're a healthcare professional, movement educator, fitness professional, or simply curious about the body, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to learn from one of the field's leading voices while experiencing the remarkable interconnectedness of the fascial system.

Come ready to learn, move, explore, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the body's incredible connective tissue network.

Starts May 14th, Thursdays at 5pm

Fascial Strength is a dynamic, full-body training class designed to build resilience, power, and efficiency through the lens of the body’s connective tissue system. Rather than isolating muscles, this class focuses on how the body works as an integrated whole - training the fascial lines that link movements from head to toe.

You’ll explore how to harness the elastic properties of fascia to improve force production, enhance power, and move with greater coordination and control. Through a blend of strength work, elastic loading, and multi-planar movement patterns, you’ll develop a more connected and responsive body.

This class emphasizes:

• Injury prevention through improved load distribution and movement quality

• Increased power and force transfer using elastic recoil and fascial tension

• Greater movement efficiency by training integrated, full-body patterns

• Enhanced body awareness and control in both simple and complex movements

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, Fascial Strength will help you build a stronger, more adaptable body that performs with ease and resilience.

Class Details:

• Series: 4 sessions (no single class drop-ins available)

• When: Thursdays at 5:00 PM

• Dates: May 14th, 21st, and 28th + June 4th

• Participants: Class limited to 6 participants

Because the class is designed as a progressive series, we ask that participants commit to attending all four sessions.

Discover the hidden network that shapes how your body moves, heals, and feels. In this engaging workshop, we’ll explore fascia - what it is, what it’s made of, and where it lives within the body. You’ll gain a clear understanding of its vital role in supporting structure, transmitting force, and connecting every system from head to toe.

We’ll also dive into how fascia responds to movement, stress, and injury, and why it plays a key role in both restriction and resilience. Learn how healthy fascia adapts and glides, how it can become compromised, and what that means for pain and mobility. Finally, we’ll examine fascia’s crucial involvement in injury recovery, offering insights into how you can support healing, restore function, and move more freely.

Whether you’re a movement professional, athlete, or simply curious about your body, this workshop will give you practical knowledge and a new perspective on how everything is truly connected.
