The Antifragile Body

8 weeks to build a body and psyche that transform stress into strength

The Antifragile Body is a live 8-week training program for experienced movers who want to break free from aches, tension, and grind-based training — and step into a therapeutic, integrative practice that leaves them clearer, calmer, and more grounded with each session.

The problem

Most training systems teach you to push harder.

But what happens?

  • Nagging aches and tension build up.

  • You feel tight, scattered, or drained instead of free and steady.

  • Progress often means trading health for performance.

  • And the deeper integration you’re seeking between body, emotions, and practice never really arrives.

Hard work… works. But most hard workers aren’t good at listening to their bodies because they can’t discern the signals from the noise.

You need a training system that helps you attune to your body, transforms stress, and builds deeper whole-being integrity, rather than breaking you.

The solution

The Antifragile Body is different.

It’s a therapeutic, integrative approach that teaches you how to:

  1. Extract clear, actionable lessons from pain, tension, and setbacks, empowered by distilled holistic knowledge.

  2. Bring your body and psyche into sync in your movement practice — clearing emotional static instead of amplifying it.

  3. Train with a simple, grounded structure that feels sustainable and enlivening rather than draining.

  4. Build a body that expands in the depth and breadth of its capacities over time: freer, steadier, and more adaptable as you age.

Our focus is training that heals, strengthens, inspires and brings insight.
All at once.

We do it differently

Most methods either push you harder to extract progress (until something breaks) or they focus on release, reflection and the soft stuff… at the expense of any real, tangible physical progress. The Antifragile Body bridges both worlds. It’s gentle and it’s potent.

  • Every session bridges the worlds of movement and meditation.

    You’ll challenge yourself to build physical capabilities you don’t yet have. You’ll earn greater control over your movements.

    Simultaneously, you’ll use the healthy friction in this process to upgrade your relationship with your psyche and emotions.

    This is holistic development, using movement as the playing field.

  • You won’t just be grinding away, wasting your energy. This program is highly intentional in the way it applies stress to create transformation.

    This training is immersive. Meditative. You’ll explore rhythm, breath, co-ordination — unlocking deeper body awareness so you can get the most out of your strength + mobility training.

    You’ll walk in with a clear intention, and walk out feeling relaxed, worked and revitalised. Your numbers, reps, hold times and access to new positions will improve.

    Physical intelligence upgrades, incoming.

  • We teach tried, tested, systems and principles when designing the flow of your movement practice sessions, to maximise adaptation while minimising fatigue.

    But this isn’t just an objectively measured, scientific process. Antifragility also requires an emphasis on moment-to-moment attunement — changing or iterating on the training plan where necessary.

    You’ll become more intimate with the felt state of your nervous system than ever — demystifying what your biofeedback is asking of you so you can make better choices, in movement and life.

  • The Inner Phase Method is a simple, powerful process to guide you in your development as a human, and mover.

    If you’ve found yourself alternating between fast progression and demotivation, sickness or injury, this is for you. You’ll cut through doubt, overthinking and hesitation, mitigating the surge-crash cycles and building steady momentum.

    Inner Phase is both a framework and a practice. A holistic conceptual model and a felt experience that, once understood, will serve as a reliable reference point — to know when to add, when to remove, and when to keep things just as they are.

Student Results

  • "As my body becomes more expansive, so do my ideas."

  • "The way I stand, sit, breathe and make love and make art and teach is improving. Presence is becoming more embodied. It's quite profound to witness."

  • "My musicality and musicianship has gone through an incredible transformation."

  • "After applying this approach to training in the last few months, my period has come back."

  • "The breathing work has shown me how much power I can generate through the body with less excess tension."

  • "Loads of injuries to the left hand side (lower body). I'm now experiencing the discomfort without the pain."

  • "I'm now enjoying the shit out of moving my body... breaking out of my perfection based habits has been bliss."

  • "I used to work to prove something to someone (else), I now only work to improve... The current step is all that matters, not the destination."

  • "The simplicity of the standing poses is rewriting the foundations of my life. Literally re-learning how to stand on my own two feet."

The Antifragile Body is a container that will evolve both your body and your relationship with it. You’ll see feel physical changes while deepening into embodied presence.

This is an initiation into a new way of being.

What you get:

8 weeks of tangible physical + psychological transformation

You won’t be over-saturated with info in this program. The emphasis is on application then understanding. It’ll feel zen. Yes, you’ll learn important concepts and principles… but our aim is for you to embody them. Experiential learning is richer — and helps us steer clear of overly complex academic waffle.

Weekly 90-minute small-group coaching calls.

Expect live movement practice with personalised tips and adjustments, guided meditation + somatic inquiry and of course, group Q&A to address your questions, challenges and experiences.

After class, you’ll be able to find the recording and meeting summary on our group platform so you can refresh your memory any time.

Short, daily practices to begin each day by tuning in

These 20-30 minute practices will help you establish a daily self-care ritual, building body awareness, vital energy and movement capacity.

You’ll work with a variety of stances, breathing drills and positions designed to cultivate qi, anchor consciousness in the body and open various connections + channels for health.

Structured strength + mobility sessions w/ instructional videos

Three times per week for 45-90 minutes, you’ll follow a pre-written program in the gym, or at home if you don’t have gym access. You’ll have scalable progressions of each exercise to match your current ability. Not only will you make 8 weeks of substantial progress; you can keep moving up levels… for the whole year ahead.

Student Feedback

How would you distil our work into one sentence?

“A profound experience that took me down the corridors of myself in a completely new light.”

What changes have you noticed in your relationships with others?

“Way more attention, way more presence, way more patience… less reactivity, just because I've given myself and my body the presence, patience, and attention first.”

What's been most challenging?

“The most challenging thing has been sitting with the uncomfortable feelings that arise in my body. And kind of finding an awareness around my innate response to resist feeling those emotions in the moment.”

How has your relationship with our body changed?

“I'm definitely more kind to it and listen to what it is truly trying to tell me. Not only in my workouts or my movement, but just in my life in general. And as a result, I'm able to find flow and ease with what would otherwise feel tough and strenuous.”

What have you learnt about yourself?

“That I have an innate proclivity to rush hard movements or to skim through difficult concepts when I know I want to slow down and enjoy the juicy challenging process because it's where I will evolve and expand the most.”

Which practices have been most useful for you?

“The short morning practices in the program have been, and continue to be very useful tools for me to find presence… in creating awareness around my body's desire to tense up. It’s created a level of calm I didn’t know was possible for me.”

This program is for a particular human

This program is for you if:

  • You’re already experienced in movement (strength, martial arts, yoga, dance, calisthenics) in a practical way, not just an academic way

  • You want to train in a way that heals, steadies, and evolves you, not just makes you sweat and “burn calories”

  • You’re ready to commit to 8 weeks of focused, meditative practice.

  • You’re serious about long-term transformation, not quick fixes.

  • You’re equally devoted to living with the youthful tenacity of a warrior and the tea-sipping, steady-paced integrity of a kind old sage

It’s not for you if:

  • You’re looking for a beginner’s intro to fitness.

  • You want surface-level results (a 6-week shred, a new PR) without deeper integration.

  • You’re not ready to make time for your body, psyche, and practice.

  • You’re unbothered by the idea of dying with potential left in the tank

  • You’re more concerned about how you look and what you can do with your body than the content of your heart + quality of your relationships

This is a serious container for sincere humans.

What this definitely isn’t

  • A rigid training program that gets results... but leaves you dead to the world and begins to feel toxic due to the level of energy drain from other key aspects of your life.

  • A lifeless online course where you have to trawl through the info to extract a few hopefully-relevant bits, then figure out how to implement and embody, without support.

  • An ongoing processes of overly intellectual self-reflection that makes sense on paper but doesn’t actually change you on a tangible, physical, experiential level.

  • Neurotic dogmatic guru shit with limited space for nuance. Fear based based obsession with preventing negative outcomes. A cult based on rigid training methods + emotional trauma.

  • Group coaching calls full of lovely but largely irrelevant social chit-chat and over-sharing... lacking the potent, actionable stuff to take away and practice.

What this sure is

  • A highly digestible and applicable container: guided practice, daily rituals, movement education, easy communication, grounded + practical

  • Learning by doing — by moving, feeling, repeating + resting. There is no replacement for experience, so we get you dropping into presence, managing your internal state and practicing straight away.

  • A chance to get a solid grasp of potent, therapeutic physical, emotional and psychological principles that help you heal, build and thrive under stress.

  • Realness, candour, honesty. Nothing in this program is shared unless it’s already been tried, tested and embodied. No empty speculative theories. Only trench-lessons, distilled and offered with love.

  • Humour and humanity. We’ll dive bravely into the reason certain things aren’t working — and share with our guard down, talking about whatever needs to be talked about — to clear the way for progress.

“Working with Jack has opened my awareness to a new depth of experience in movement, and sharpened my ear for the body’s feedback that has always been there yet rarely heard.”
