a few more things to know.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

All aliven and tend & replenish practices will have an optional playlist to play alongside your practice, which is encouraged for a music-driven experience. If you’re practicing from your phone, you’ll want to have another device available to play the accompanying Spotify playlist – this could be via a laptop, iPad, or home speaker like Sonos. If you’re tuning in from a laptop, you can open a second tab in your web browser, or for the best experience, have the Spotify desktop app downloaded. Regardless of device, I will offer a “3-2-1, play” countdown at the start of class so we can sync up our music! I recommend adjusting your Spotify volume to 30%.

Yes, but you only need a free account – you do not need to have a Spotify premium account to listen to the playlist.

Absolutely! I guide you along the whole journey, so you’re welcome to skip the music and practice exclusively with my voice and cues.

All classes offer layers that can make many practices pre/postnatal friendly. I strongly advise consulting a medical professional to make sure you are cleared for movement, and always listen to your body and move at your discretion.

You can login on the homepage of Poetry in Motion, or bookmark the library page and login from there. Each time you login you will receive a one-time passcode to your e-mail, which you can access, input into the passcode field and complete your login.

You can expect fresh practices added regularly – I recommend subscribing to my Substack, Poetry in Motion, to receive a monthly update on new classes added.
