A New Approach

When we get older, it’s not muscles we replace; it’s joints!

What do you do when clients walk into your class complaining of pain? The common answer? Adapt, modify, and work around it. That’s not a solution. It’s a band-aid.

Here, you’ll learn to unlock movement in the joints that actually works. Stop modifying around pain, start solving it. The M.F.A. Mobility Certification gives you a blueprint for unlocking joint strength and mobility, not just temporary flexibility.

• A checklist to confidently tackle pain. No more fear, no more second guessing.

• A framework to know which pain to stay off, and which pain is actually an opportunity to expand movement in ways most instructors don’t even see.

• It’s not just about movement, it’s about the right work at the right time. So your clients don’t just feel better for a few hours, they actually move better, long-term. Because where joint limitations are a concern traditional exercises and manual therapy won’t be enough.

This isn’t just another course. It’s an essential upgrade for instructors who value cutting-edge science over just another modality.

What You’ll Learn

  1. The missing piece of the puzzle—how to maintain function and solve pain for real.

  1. A clear roadmap—how to implement and put your new knowledge into context.

  1. A trusted tool that will never steer you wrong—your clients will think you have superpowers.

  1. Replace fear around pain with clarity and confidence.

  1. Stop modifying and managing pain—instead, start solving it.

This is not for those who avoid challenge and growth.

It’s for instructors who are ready to challenge the norm and rethink movement from the ground up.

What’s Included

• 5-hour immersive training (theory, practical application, and live Q&A).

• User-friendly manual with the key principles broken down.

• 30-day free access to exclusive tutorial videos—because application matters.

• Continuing support throughout your journey, once an M.F.A always an M.F.A. Here we are a family that support each other.

“I attended Ava’s Sticky shoulder workshop and I was thrilled by the level of detail, expertise & guidance was simply fantastic. Ava has a natural ability to share her knowledge in an extreme fun & approachable manner, encouraging questions & delving into the biomechanics, proprioception & neurological aspect of movement.

Her approach to movement and breath-work is simply put “breath of fresh air! Weather you have a detailed understanding in kinesiology or just looking to improve your own passion in teaching movement, Ava is sure to cater to your needs - she will have you feeling better connected & functioning on a deeper level, I look forward to her future workshops”

Sara O Reilly

“I’m a big fan of Ava and absolutely loved her “Sticky shoulder workshop. She is an expert in her field, a brilliantly detailed teacher, has a thirst for knowledge and shares it generously with others. Ava has a far and deep understanding of movement biomechanics and I love her approach to the whole.

Her passion and personality makes learning fun the practical applications has helped with my particular injury and limitations of many years. If you’re looking for a deeper understanding of the shoulder girdle, biomechanics and ways to help you or your clients, this is a valuable and highly recommended workshop”

Joni Weeks

Pilates Instructor & Functional Movement Coach

“I absolutely loved the shoulders Workshop I recently attended with Ava Rodriguez. She has an incredible way of presenting content that makes sense and is applicable to my own self movement and that of my clients.

There were many powerful takeaways and is hard to list them all…but one important thing I will not forgets when Ava said “the diaphragm is the Queen of the show!” Reminding me that breath can change the way one moves. I will not miss Ava’s next workshop!”

Suzanne Singla

Owner of Singla Pilates & Movement

“Ava, you are amazing!!

Such a knowledgeable, informative and helpful Sticky Shoulders Workshop. Ava has a talent to teach in a fun, easy to understand way, with the best practice and priceless cues.”

Agi Falenta

Pilates Instructor

“I would like to thank Ava for offering outstanding state-of-the-art workshops for Pilates, Movement, and what’s behind it. I have not experienced any teacher or workshops before that goes deep and understands the connections.

With her deep understanding of what happens in the body when moving, she is extremely valuable, especially to teachers and therapists who want to learn more to find the drivers of success for their patients and clients. She is able to break it down into digestible parts and her clear presentation and voice contributes a lot to learning these complex topics in an easy and entertaining way. She has clearly found her passion and is dedicated to movement and to bringing everyone around her to a better understanding of movement.

After her workshop I was able to easily help my clients and fix issues, some of which they had faced for 15 years. Thank you so much, Ava.”
