Mobility trainingfor range you can actually use.

Q: Is this a stretching class?

No. Stretching may appear as a tool, but the goal is strength and control at the end of your range, so the range is usable in real movement.

Q: I'm very stiff - can I join?

Yes. Every class scales to your current range. Stiff is the best starting point: the early gains are big and show up fast in daily life.

Q: Do you run separate mobility classes in Amsterdam?

Mobility is trained inside every daily movement class at Crazy Monkey Practice rather than isolated into its own hour, because range that isn't connected to movement doesn't stick.

Most mobility training in Amsterdam means stretching: reach further, hold longer, hope it sticks. We train strength and control at the end of your range — hips, spine, shoulders — inside daily movement classes, so your new range shows up when you actually move.

not stretchingthe honest difference

Flexibility is range.
Mobility is ownership.

Stretching gives you positions you can reach. Mobility is positions you can use — under load, off balance, mid-movement, with someone leaning on you. That difference is why people who stretch for years still feel stiff the moment life asks something unscripted of their body.

So we don't hold poses and hope. We put your joints through their range inside movement problems: ground transitions, hanging, squatting, reaching, twisting — with just enough load and just enough surprise that the range becomes yours.

the methodhow we train mobility

Range, earned
inside movement.

Mobility isn't a separate class here — it's woven into every 90-minute movement session, so you never do range for range's sake. A typical week takes your joints through:

ground positionssquats, sits and transitions — the floor as your daily range check

hanging & reachingshoulders that open instead of impinge

hips & spinerotation and folding with control, not momentum

end-range strengthloading the last degrees — where range is won or lost

movement problemsgames that demand range without announcing it

who it's forthree people we see every week

the desk worker

Stiff from sitting.

Hips that forgot how to open, a spine that forgot how to turn. We rebuild both — gently, progressively, on the floor where it's safe to explore.

the lifter / runner

Strong but locked.

Strength built in narrow ranges eventually costs you. End-range work gives your squat, your stride and your back the room they've been asking for.

the yogi / dancer

Bendy but unloaded.

You have range — now make it strong. Control at your end range protects the joints your flexibility exposes, and unlocks movement your mat never asks for.

Mobility questions, answered honestly.

Is this a stretching class?

No. Stretching may appear as a tool, but the goal is different: strength and control at the end of your range, so the range is usable in real movement. Think ownership, not just length.

I'm very stiff — can I join?

Yes. Stiff is the best starting point: the early gains are big and they show up fast in daily life. Every class scales to your current range, and nobody is asked to match anyone else's.

Do you run separate mobility classes in Amsterdam?

Mobility is trained inside every daily movement class rather than isolated into its own hour — because range that isn't connected to movement doesn't stick. Check the agenda for class times.

How long before I notice a difference?

Most people feel a difference in how they sit, squat and reach within a few weeks of consistent practice. Structural change takes longer — we're honest about that — but the early wins come quickly.
