What is Bodyweight Stars?
Bodyweight movement means exercises with minimal or no external props. It’s simple, portable, and meditative in it’s own way. Just you and your body. Bodyweight movement is also really hard because lifting the weight of your body is a big deal!
Bodyweight Stars will help you shine when it comes to feeling strong and free in your body. Expect creative progressions including push-ups, single leg squats, handstands, basic jumps, and don’t worry we will offer options every step of the way.
Shorter sessions more often means more small wins, confidence, mental health boost and overall joy.
Community and quality coaching means you will have other people to help you stay motivated and inspired.

The snowball effect
Never underestimate the positive effects of progressive mindful exercise on grief, loss, blahs, pandemic, and fatigue. Whatever you are going through, we know how much a dedicated program can add small wins back into your day. Small wins (like nailing a new push-up or handstand progression) turn into big wins over time. Let’s get the ball rolling.
This program is multi-level, however you must be able to get up and down from the floor easily and place your hands on the floor.
We will help you turn the intensity up or down during the live classes.
“I really love Mindful Strength and Kathryn’s awesome teachings. I have strengthened my body SO much and I love all the brilliant movements and sequences Kathryn creates for each part of the body. It is truly a remarkable, life-changing program.“
“Thank you for the amazing classes, as always! I had a baby in April, and my body and capacities changed SO dramatically. It has been so great to take your classes as I started moving again — the emphasis on what you feel instead of what you do really helped me reconnect to a body that felt foreign to me.“

A reminder: the word bodyweight training means moving mostly with your own body mass. We welcome all sizes and don’t make assumptions about what larger/smaller folks are capable of.
Equipment:
This program is going to be based around bodyweight exercises – meaning very little equipment is necessary.
That said, if you have weights, bands and a pull-up bar/rings bring them and we will add in some weighted bodyweight movements to help you progress.
“I love just about ANYTHING that Kathryn teaches! Her depth of knowledge and laid-back style of teaching is right up my alley. Not only do I enjoy and get great benefits from both Kathryn and Kyle’s classes, but everything I learn is so wonderful to incorporate into my own yoga/movement classes.”
– Diane Murphy
About Kathryn
Kathryn is a yoga teacher, turned powerlifter, turned strength and conditioning coach who runs a small countryside gym as well as global online programs. Kathryn’s specialty is applying ultra-progressive, step-by-step approaches to lifting weights, starting cardio, running, and training for big goals in smaller chunks.
She coaches clients from their 20’s to 80’s and has helped complete beginners progress to lifting heavy weights, building the strength to not only feel less fragile, but live life to the fullest. Kathryn’s coaching has been strongly influenced by her own experience as a competitive lifter, as well as her background in mindfulness and more recent education in pain science.
Her unconventional approach works incredibly well for clients who have felt judged or uneasy in fitness spaces in the past. Kathryn’s goal is to bring out the best in her students, whether it’s running their first mile, learning a pull-up, building bone density or summiting that epic mountain.
About Kyle

Kyle was the head coach for the Cornwall Weightlifting Club for 5 years leading up to COVID, when he started coaching for Mindful Strength.

He has years of experience training people in a gym setting and offers a fun and challenging workout approach. Kyle is no longer teaching live classes, in 2023 he went back to school for carpentry. His recorded classes are still in our video library because he offers something very special.
