home practices
to cultivate longevity and joy
Short, sweet and potent movement rituals designed to fit effortlessly into your day.
the why
playful & practical
To move well throughout our lives means moving with consistency — and if we’re going to do something regularly, it helps to choose rituals we genuinely enjoy and look forward to practicing.
Over years of teaching and moving with thousands of people, I’ve come to trust variety as one of the foundations of a sustainable movement practice. Strength, mobility, stability, recovery, dance, stillness — our bodies (and minds!) benefit from it all.
Going all-in on one way of moving can eventually lead to boredom, injury, or both. A varied practice offers us a multitude of ways to feel capable, resilient, inspired and embodied.
That’s the idea behind these home practices: thoughtful, snack-sized movement to weave into the life you already have. Take one on vacation, tune in between meetings, pair one with a run or strength session, or simply move because you’re craving something easeful, energizing, or both.

faq
a few things
to know.
What is the Poetry in Motion home practice?
Poetry in Motion home practice is a growing movement library designed to help you shift your state and cultivate longevity and joy. Whether you have 5 or 30 minutes, tune into a single practice or stack a few together — from the comfort of your home, hotel, cabin or wherever you happen to be. The library draws from Trilby’s lifetime of movement and 9 years of teaching across a variety of modalities.
Where should I start?
You can browse the featured videos, or select a category based on how you’re feeling, how much time you have and what your body is craving.
How often should I practice?
This library is meant to complement the existing routine that you know and love. You could absolutely practice daily, but know that even a 5-10 minute practice a few times a week can be meaningful and supportive.
Do I need any equipment?
We’ll occasionally incorporate a light to medium dumbbell, loop band, squish ball, blocks, a foam roller or a pillow, but none of these are required for you to have a fulfilling practice. A mat or blanket can be nice to have to provide comfort.
What level are the classes?
All classes are open level and invite layering, meaning you can keep a movement pattern simple or increase the challenge by adding variations. More complexity isn’t necessarily better — choose the version that feels best in your body that day.
