Session 3 Summary: Moderation, Calibration & Expanding the Form Vocabulary
[Le français suit]
Thank you all for Saturday’s session. We’ve posted a detailed summary of everything we covered, which you can find here on the forum.
Your Next Assignment – Due Before Session 4 (Saturday, February 7, 9:40-11:10): Complete Segment 4, all lessons Total time: approximately 87 minutes
This is the longest assignment, but you now have a full week to work through it. As mentioned in the session, if finding time and space for the Practice Labs is challenging, we recommend going through all the content first just to complete the assignment, then revisiting the Practice Labs afterward. This way, you don’t need to be in a practice-conducive space to get through the material. Of course, if you have time to complete the Key Points and Practice Labs as intended while still finishing the assignment, please go ahead.
A Few Program Reminders:
We’re only covering the first five of ten segments in this study group. After completing five segments with us, you have the remainder of your three-month access to finish at your own pace. Completing the Primer within three months automatically extends your access to one year.
The Primer is one learning track on our platform. Other learning tracks are also available to you, including an extensive repository of practice applications—hundreds of hours of content developed and refined over the years. We’re also exploring continuation session options for this and previous cohorts, and future cohorts are open to previous participants at subsidized rates.
Coming Soon: We’ll post again before the next session with recommendations on what to bring to Session 4. Please stay tuned.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Merci à tous pour la session de samedi. Nous avons posté un résumé détaillé de tout ce que nous avons couvert, que vous pouvez trouver ici sur le forum.
Votre prochain devoir – À compléter avant la Session 4 (samedi 7 février, 9h40-11h10) : Compléter le Segment 4, toutes les leçons Durée totale : environ 87 minutes
C’est le devoir le plus long, mais vous avez maintenant une semaine complète pour le parcourir. Comme mentionné lors de la session, si trouver le temps et l’espace pour les Practice Labs est difficile, nous recommandons de parcourir d’abord tout le contenu juste pour compléter le devoir, puis de revisiter les Practice Labs par la suite. De cette façon, vous n’avez pas besoin d’être dans un espace propice à la pratique pour parcourir le matériel. Bien sûr, si vous avez le temps de compléter les Key Points et les Practice Labs comme prévu tout en terminant le devoir, n’hésitez pas.
Quelques rappels sur le programme :
Nous ne couvrons que les cinq premiers des dix segments dans ce groupe d’étude. Après avoir complété cinq segments avec nous, vous avez le reste de votre accès de trois mois pour terminer à votre propre rythme. Compléter le Primer dans les trois mois prolonge automatiquement votre accès à un an.
Le Primer est un parcours d’apprentissage sur notre plateforme. D’autres parcours d’apprentissage sont également disponibles pour vous, incluant un vaste répertoire d’applications pratiques — des centaines d’heures de contenu développé et raffiné au fil des années. Nous explorons également des options de sessions de continuation pour cette cohorte et les cohortes précédentes, et les futures cohortes sont ouvertes aux participants précédents à des tarifs subventionnés.
À venir : Nous posterons à nouveau avant la prochaine session avec des recommandations sur ce qu’il faut apporter à la Session 4. Restez à l’écoute.
Nous avons hâte de vous voir samedi.

What to Bring This Saturday
Hi Everyone [Le Francais suit],
A quick note about what to bring for our session this Saturday:
We’ll be working with patterns that require contact with the floor, and some of these movements take time to understand. If you find it difficult to follow along without some padding, please bring either a small folded hand towel or a compact pad like this hiking pad. Over time, we encourage practicing without any padding. The approach to the practice dynamics we will introduce is to reduce discomfort; they may just require more time to develop for some.
As mentioned, we don’t recommend large exercise/yoga mats. The cushioning dampens the sensory feedback that’s valuable for developing awareness of the movements, and the predefined size, shape, and fixed location can create boundaries that limit freedom of movement across Baseworks applications. We really encourage you to move around the room and periodically reorient yourself—to see us comfortably, change perspective, and shift how you position yourself in the physical space as the dynamic aspects of the practice change.
Looking ahead: We hope the pre-study assignment is going well. If you’d like to reference anything from last week while working through this assignment, here’s the Session 3 summary.
Remember—if you’re crammed for time across other commitments, completing the full assignment (including segment reflections) is better than physically completing the practice labs. Get through the entire assignment first, then you can go back and do the practice labs where you have time before we meet. If you don’t get a chance to physically practice the practice labs, at least you will have watched them, and we can hit the ground running more productively. You can always return to those later. If any questions come up over the next couple of days, please post them here.
We have a full practice agenda planned for Saturday and may not have as much Q&A time as last week. The assignment between this session and the next will be much shorter, so if any questions come up and don’t get answered on Saturday, make a mental note and share them on the forum next week.
See you Saturday!
Bonjour à tous,
Une petite note concernant ce qu’il faut apporter pour notre session de samedi :
Nous travaillerons avec des formes qui nécessitent un contact avec le sol, et certains de ces mouvements prennent du temps à comprendre. Si vous trouvez difficile de suivre sans un peu de rembourrage, veuillez apporter soit une petite serviette pliée, soit un coussin compact comme ce coussin de randonnée. Avec le temps, nous encourageons la pratique sans rembourrage. L’approche des dynamiques de pratique que nous introduirons vise à réduire l’inconfort ; elles peuvent simplement nécessiter plus de temps à développer pour certains.
Comme mentionné, nous ne recommandons pas les grands tapis d’exercice/yoga. Le rembourrage atténue la rétroaction sensorielle qui est précieuse pour développer la conscience des mouvements, et la taille, la forme et l’emplacement prédéfinis peuvent créer des limites qui restreignent la liberté de mouvement à travers les applications Baseworks. Nous vous encourageons vraiment à vous déplacer dans la salle et à vous réorienter périodiquement—pour nous voir confortablement, changer de perspective, et modifier la façon dont vous vous positionnez dans l’espace physique à mesure que les aspects dynamiques de la pratique changent.
En perspective : Nous espérons que l’assignation de pré-étude se passe bien. Si vous souhaitez faire référence à quelque chose de la semaine dernière pendant que vous travaillez sur cette assignation, voici le résumé de la session 3.
Rappel—si vous manquez de temps avec d’autres engagements, compléter l’assignation complète (y compris les réflexions de segment) est mieux que de compléter physiquement les laboratoires de pratique. Parcourez d’abord l’assignation entière, puis vous pouvez revenir faire les laboratoires de pratique là où vous avez du temps avant notre rencontre. Si vous n’avez pas la chance de pratiquer physiquement les laboratoires de pratique, au moins vous les aurez regardés, et nous pourrons démarrer de manière plus productive. Vous pouvez toujours y revenir plus tard. Si des questions surgissent au cours des prochains jours, veuillez les publier ici.
Nous avons un programme de pratique complet prévu pour samedi et nous n’aurons peut-être pas autant de temps pour les questions-réponses que la semaine dernière. L’assignation entre cette session et la prochaine sera beaucoup plus courte, donc si des questions surgissent et ne sont pas répondues samedi, prenez-en note mentalement et partagez-les sur le forum la semaine prochaine.
À samedi !

Raquée (avec un grain de sel)
Je sais que je ne suis pas supposée le dire, mais je suis raquée ;-). Les séquences de formes étaient costaudes, et je me suis fait prendre au jeu sans m’en rendre compte. Bref, j’ai les quadriceps qui ont mal et les abducteurs qui se demandent encore ce qu’il s’est passé.
D’un côté plus technique, mon calendrier de pratiques sur le site de Baseworks fait des « free games ». Hier, 4 février, j’ai fait trois courtes pratiques qui ont été notées sur la journées du 5. Aujourdhui, j’ai fait une courte pratique qui a été notée en date du 5. Vu comme ça, j’ai l’air d’être courbaturée parce que je n’ai rien fait hier et tout donné aujourd’hui, ce qui n’est pas le cas.
Bref: j’ai mal dosé mon effort et le site a sauté une journée. J’ai hâte de vous voir tous
samedi parce que toute seule, les pratiques du module n’ont été ni élégantes (c’est un euphémisme), ni tellement propices à focuser sur quoi que ce soit à part « passer au travers ». Je termine avec 🤓un petit émoji parce que je trouve super important d’aborder la pratique avec une bonne dose d’humour. Ça m’aide à vivre avec mes défis actuels et à prendre les choses, comme on dit, avec un grain de sel.
[English translation] Sore (with a grain of salt)
I know I’m not supposed to say it, but I’m sore ;-). The form sequences were tough, and I got caught up in it without realizing it. In short, my quadriceps are aching and my abductors are still wondering what happened.
On a more technical note, my practice calendar on the Baseworks site is doing “free games.” Yesterday, February 4th, I did three short practices that were logged on the 5th. Today, I did a short practice that was also logged as the 5th. Looking at it that way, I seem to be sore because I did nothing yesterday and gave it everything today, which is not the case.
In short: I misjudged my effort and the site skipped a day. I can’t wait to see you all on Saturday because on my own, the module practices were neither elegant (that’s an understatement), nor particularly conducive to focusing on anything other than “just getting through it.” I’ll end with 🤓a little emoji because I think it’s super important to approach practice with a good dose of humor. It helps me live with my current challenges and to take things, as they say, with a grain of salt.
Patrick — 2026-02-05
Merci pour ce partage!
The soreness is actually useful information—it tells you something about how you were engaging with the practice. The fact that you noticed you got caught up without realizing it is the important part. That awareness is exactly what we’re developing.
Going forward, if you find yourself in “just get through it” mode, that’s usually a signal to dial back. When practicing alone, if you’re unsure about intensity, less is almost always the better choice. The in-person sessions will help calibrate this, but the principle applies everywhere: strain and fatigue work against the kind of focused attention we’re building.
As for the calendar, the site defaults to UTC. You can change your time zone on the Practice History page here: https://practice.baseworks.com/practice-history/, and that will correct the dates. See the attached picture to see what that looks like.
À samedi!

Dans les oreilles
Nous avons discuté, à la fin du cours d’hier, de certains effets de la pratique de Baseworks sur nos systèmes nerveux. Je ne vais pas vous tenir informés de TOUS les effets, promis, mais ce qu’il s’est passé dans mes oreilles hier après-midi mérite d’être rapporté, je trouve - ne serait-ce que pour s’émerveiller de la complexité du traitement de l’information sensorielle.
En arrivant à la maison, j’étais très fatiguée et tandis que je me préparais à faire une sieste, j’ai entendu, dans l’oreille droite, un acouphène assez prononcé. Dans l’oreille gauche, j’entendais des sons s’apparentant à des instruments d’orchestre qui s’accordent. L’oreille droite donnait l’impression d’être bouchée. J’ai décidé de ne pas trop m’énerver et de juste expérimenter ces (très désagréables) phénomènes.
Long story short: j’ai dormi deux heures. Au réveil, il n’y avait plus d’orchestre, et l’acouphène s’était atténué. Il a disparu, comme la sensation d’oreille bouchée, après un petit deux heures.

Session 4 Summary (2/7/26): Intensity Modification & Effort
[Le français suit]
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Session 4 yesterday. The detailed summary is now available here: Session 4 Summary: Intensity Modification & Effort
In this summary, you’ll also find references to the research of Paul Cisek and the work of dancer Martin Kilvady, which we discussed during the session.
**Next Assignment (for Session 5): **Please complete Segment 5, Lessons 5.1-5.4, before Sunday. This assignment is only 29 minutes total (7 min theory, 13 min Key Points, 9 min practice)—much shorter than last week’s assignment. If you have extra time, consider using the Smart Revisit feature to review previous Practice Labs.
Extended Session Next Sunday: For those who are able, we will extend Session 5 beyond the scheduled time (12:10-13:50). We plan to continue until approximately 14:30, which will give us more time for practical application and to cover additional material. There is no extra charge for this—just stay if your schedule allows.
See you Sunday.
[English above]
Merci à tous ceux qui nous ont rejoints pour la Session 4 hier. Le résumé détaillé est maintenant disponible ici : Résumé de la Session 4 : Modification de l’Intensité & Effort
Dans ce résumé, vous trouverez également des références à la recherche de Paul Cisek et au travail du danseur Martin Kilvady, dont nous avons discuté pendant la session.
Prochain Assignment (pour la Session 5) : Veuillez compléter le Segment 5, Lessons 5.1-5.4 avant dimanche. Cet assignment ne fait que 29 minutes au total (7 min de théorie, 13 min de Key Points, 9 min de pratique)—beaucoup plus court que l’assignment de la semaine dernière. Si vous avez du temps supplémentaire, pensez à utiliser la fonctionnalité Smart Revisit pour revoir les Practice Labs précédents.
Session Prolongée Dimanche Prochain : Pour ceux qui le peuvent, nous prolongerons la Session 5 au-delà de l’horaire prévu (12h10-13h50). Nous prévoyons de continuer jusqu’à environ 14h30, ce qui nous donnera plus de temps pour l’application pratique et pour couvrir du matériel supplémentaire. Il n’y a pas de frais supplémentaires—restez simplement si votre emploi du temps le permet.
À dimanche.

🩵
I would like to express once again how much I appreciate this course. I regret not having more time this semester—which has turned out to be far busier than I had anticipated—because I would love to practice these powerful and constructive movements more often outside the weekend sessions.
The very subtle yet deeply transformative work of the postures and transitions allows for a profound learning of the body’s limits and of the space that can be found within them, in order to gently push those limits and strengthen the deep musculature. This, in turn, supports balance and stability, while also cultivating flexibility, fluidity, and freedom of movement.
This practice is not easy, and it requires an immense level of attentive presence and embodied mindfulness. This is also an aspect of the work that I find particularly rich and meaningful. We often say that we learn through our mistakes, and I believe that pain, within the context of this practice, can be part of that learning process. The intelligence of Basework should not lead us into pain when the practice is performed correctly; however, when pain does arise, it can still become part of the learning process—an indication that helps us refine our understanding of the body’s intelligence and movement patterns.
When discomfort arises somewhere in the body, it may be useful to ask: which parts of the body are over-activating while others are not sufficiently engaged? Could the area where I feel pain be doing half the work right now, in exchange for a better overall distribution of activation?
I also had a more concrete question. Since beginning this training, I’ve noticed that I feel a strong urge to invent movements when I take time to move on my own at home—after watching the videos or at other moments. At times, it feels as though my body wants to explore new shapes, positions, or postures, while remaining fully conscious in order to ensure a healthy distribution of activation. I would be very curious to hear the instructors’ perspective on this.

Session 5 Summary (2/15/26): Transit & Practical Application
[Le Francais Suit]
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Session 5. The detailed summary is now available here: Session 5 Summary: Transit & Practical Application
This session covered a lot of ground—Z-Lunge, Split Form Inflection, and extended discussions about working around physical conditions and how Baseworks approaches fatigue differently than typical wellness practices. We encourage you to read through the summary, as it captures details that are easy to miss in the flow of practice.
Final Assignment (for Session 6): Please complete Segment 5, Lessons 5.5-5.8 before Sunday. This is only 27 minutes total (19 min Key Points, 8 min practice)—no theory lessons this week. This assignment completes the first five segments of the Primer course.
What Comes Next: After Session 6, you’ll have covered the foundational material and can continue through the remaining course content at your own pace. We’ll remain available through the Forum to answer questions and guide you as you progress. We’re also currently finalizing plans to continue weekly sessions starting in late March or early April, where we’ll revisit Practice Labs and Key Points lessons together. As you continue, it will all start to come together and make a lot more sense.
See you Sunday.
Résumé de la Session 5 (15/02/26) : Transit & Application Pratique
Merci à tous ceux qui nous ont rejoints pour la Session 5. Le résumé détaillé est maintenant disponible ici : Résumé de la Session 5 : Transit & Application Pratique
Cette session a couvert beaucoup de terrain—Z-Lunge, Split Form Inflection, et des discussions approfondies sur comment travailler autour des conditions physiques et comment Baseworks aborde la fatigue différemment des pratiques de bien-être typiques. Nous vous encourageons à lire le résumé, car il capture des détails faciles à manquer dans le flux de la pratique.
Dernier Assignment (pour la Session 6) : Veuillez compléter le Segment 5, Lessons 5.5-5.8 avant dimanche. Cela ne fait que 27 minutes au total (19 min de Key Points, 8 min de pratique)—pas de leçons de théorie cette semaine. Cet assignment complète les cinq premiers segments du cours Primer.
Ce Qui Vient Ensuite : Après la Session 6, vous aurez couvert le matériel fondamental et pourrez continuer le reste du contenu du cours à votre propre rythme. Nous resterons disponibles via le Forum pour répondre à vos questions et vous guider dans votre progression. Nous finalisons également des plans pour continuer les sessions hebdomadaires à partir de fin mars ou début avril, où nous revisiterons ensemble les Practice Labs et les leçons Key Points. À mesure que vous continuez, tout commencera à s’assembler et à prendre beaucoup plus de sens.
À dimanche.

Session 6 Summary (2/22/26): Integration & Partner Practice
[Le français suit]
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Session 6. The detailed summary is now available here: Session 6 Summary: Integration & Partner Practice
This session focused on integration—moving through forms with less stopping, exploring the opposition between shoulders and spinal movement, and practicing with partners to develop awareness of alignment and midline positioning. We also introduced Heel-Sit, Horizontal Shoulder Flex, and Shoulder Flex Headlock with their distinctive arm movements and opposition dynamics.
With this session, you’ve now completed the first five segments of the Baseworks Primer. Congratulations on reaching this milestone.
What Comes Next: Next week is our final session together at Circuit Est. From here, you can continue through the remaining Primer content at your own pace, and we’ll remain available through the Forum to answer questions.
Continuing Weekly Sessions: Comme mentionné à la fin de la Session 6, nous avons le plaisir d’annoncer que les sessions hebdomadaires se poursuivront à partir du 15 mars, jusqu’à la fin juin, à Mile End (Casgrain, près du métro Laurier). With the exception of March 15th, all sessions will be held on Saturdays. These are separate practice sessions for those who’ve completed our Study Groups. The practice sessions will focus more on practical application, more forms and variations, set and transition practice, going a lot deeper into the material. We’ll follow up with the full schedule in a post here on the platform within the next couple of days. And we will provide more context about how to continue at the end of our last session this coming Sunday.
Merci à tous ceux qui nous ont rejoints pour la Session 6. Le résumé détaillé est maintenant disponible ici : Résumé de la Session 6 : Intégration & Pratique en Partenaire
Cette session était axée sur l’intégration—traverser les formes avec moins d’arrêts, explorer l’opposition entre les épaules et le mouvement spinal, et pratiquer avec des partenaires pour développer la conscience de l’alignement et du positionnement par rapport à la ligne médiane. Nous avons également introduit Heel-Sit, Horizontal Shoulder Flex et Shoulder Flex Headlock avec leurs mouvements de bras distinctifs et leurs dynamiques d’opposition.
Avec cette session, vous avez maintenant complété les cinq premiers segments du Baseworks Primer. Félicitations pour avoir atteint cette étape importante.
Ce qui vient ensuite : La semaine prochaine sera notre dernière session ensemble à Circuit Est. À partir de là, vous pouvez continuer le reste du contenu du Primer à votre propre rythme, et nous resterons disponibles via le Forum pour répondre à vos questions.
Sessions hebdomadaires à venir : Comme mentionné à la fin de la Session 6, nous avons le plaisir d’annoncer que les sessions hebdomadaires se poursuivront à partir du 15 mars, jusqu’à la fin juin, dans Mile End (Casgrain, près du métro Laurier). À l’exception du 15 mars, toutes les sessions auront lieu le samedi. Ce sont des sessions de pratique séparées pour ceux qui ont complété nos Study Groups. Les sessions de pratique seront davantage axées sur l’application pratique, plus de formes et de variations, la pratique des séquences et des transitions, allant beaucoup plus en profondeur dans le matériel. Nous publierons l’horaire complet dans un message ici sur la plateforme dans les prochains jours. Et nous fournirons plus de contexte sur la façon de continuer à la fin de notre dernière session ce dimanche.

Continuing Weekly Sessions: As mentioned at the end of Session 6, we are pleased to announce that the weekly sessions will continue starting March 15th, through the end of June, in Mile End (Casgrain, near Laurier metro). With the exception of March 15th, all sessions will be held on Saturdays. These are separate practice sessions for those who’ve completed our Study Groups. The practice sessions will focus more on practical application, more forms and variations, set and transition practice, going a lot deeper into the material. We’ll follow up with the full schedule in a post here on the platform within the next couple of days. And we will provide more context about how to continue at the end of our last session this coming Sunday.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Session 6. The detailed summary is now available here: Session 6 Summary: Integration & Partner Practice
This session focused on integration—moving through forms with less stopping, exploring the opposition between shoulders and spinal movement, and practicing with partners to develop awareness of alignment and midline positioning. We also introduced Heel-Sit, Horizontal Shoulder Flex, and Shoulder Flex Headlock with their distinctive arm movements and opposition dynamics.
