    Mindy Esau

  • I’am definitely confident to tackle the issues when you have the tools to create change. The fact that not many (not even physio) are trained the way M.F.A approaches joints capacity is actually mind-boggling.

    So, so glad I am now part of the MA tribe and offer my clients a path to a solution to work with.

    No fear, no anxiety, just joy of movement! (Hard work, too!)

  • Ava, I took my time as I really wanted it to sink in to express how incredibly impactful your mobility course has been for me. Honestly, it went above and beyond all my expectations.

    The way you've illuminated the concept of mobility, its potential benefits for my body, and even its integration into my Pilates classes is nothing short of remarkable.Your teaching style is truly exceptional. I was blown away by the depth of your explanations and the eye-opening revelations that came with them.

    The toolbox of techniques you shared is an absolute goldmine.Working through the movements you introduced was challenging, but it's like a light bulb went off in terms of my body awareness. Despite the initial struggle, I can already feel the promise of improved movement and that elusive sense of jointfreedom.What really struck me, was how you delivered the course content.

    Your expertise and experience are so evident, yet you managed to present everything in a way that made learning enjoyable and easy to grasp.I can't thank you enough for this experience. Your course is going to reshape not only how I approach my own movement journey but also how I work with my clients. I wholeheartedly recommend your course to anyone looking to enhance their practice and understanding of mobility.I'm eagerly looking forward to further learning and exploring the world of mobility under your guidance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

  • Ava, thank you for making this experience so much fun!

    I actually freaking learned something so well in two days, that I have already put it into practice. That blew my mind, how the way you presented the information was so clear that I could apply it immediately. This has really been one of the most positive and knowledge filled experiences l've had in a long time. Not only did you inspire me as an instructor but you also inspired me as a person and opened my eyes to look at things in a different way and to ask myself questions and to explore! Love you for that. Thank you so much, your fu$&ing awesome!

  • I received my certificate and I am very excited.I am proud to have a master friend like Ava and I am her big fan. A master who is an expert in her field is generous and very kind and funny, who manages the whole time with her energy and humor in such a way that you would like to continue with her for hours and there is no point in getting tired.She has a deep understanding of biomechanical movements, and her attractive personality and teaching style make the material easily digestible and understandable. I am looking forward to joining her workshops to learn more about her special knowledge and her amazing skill in controlling this type of joint stiffness. If you are an athlete or a teacher who wants to raise the performance of his students, I recommend her. She will get you there!
