Overview
In this lesson, we introduce Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), a joint training system focused on improving mobility, range of motion, and joint strength through controlled movement.
Objective
Understand the principles and practices of FRC, including controlled articular rotations (CARs), and how they complement and enhance Ashtanga practice.
What You'll Get
You'll learn how to develop strength at the end ranges of motion, protect your joints, and move with more control and awareness. Discover why CARs—taking each joint through its full range of motion with intention—are so effective for maintaining joint health and preventing injury. For personal practice, FRC gives you tools to work smarter and stay resilient, especially in advanced or demanding poses. For teachers, trainers, and therapists, it's a valuable addition to your toolkit, helping students and clients build durable, functional movement capacity that supports long-term practice.
