Neuro-Transformative Morning Activation

Led by: Henry Ammar

This is not a meditation—it’s a neuroscience-based activation designed to recalibrate the nervous system, prime the subconscious, and align mind and body before the day begins. Tailored for high-performing leaders, Henry’s Neuro-Transformative Morning Activation™ blends psychology, nervous system regulation, NLP, and subconscious reprogramming to create immediate shifts in clarity, presence, and emotional power.

Mat Pilates

Led by: Shelly Crozier

Start your day with a revitalizing Mat Pilates session designed to strengthen, lengthen, and center the body. Performed on the floor using a yoga mat, this low-impact practice emphasizes controlled, mindful movement and breath work to improve posture, balance, and flexibility. Each exercise targets the body’s “powerhouse” — the abdominals, lower back, hips, and glutes — helping you build stability from the inside out. Suitable for all fitness levels, this session offers a restorative yet energizing way to align both body and mind before a full day of sessions.

Morning Movement: Awaken Strength, Power and Purpose

Led by: Chris Lieto

These 20–30 minute sessions are more than a workout—they’re about unlocking your potential from the inside out. Through fundamental bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, and planks, you’ll learn to activate your core, recruit major muscle groups, and move with greater strength, balance, and precision. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity — when done correctly, these movements demand deep engagement and total-body activation. Expect to discover muscles you didn’t know you had and leave feeling grounded, powerful, and ready to take on the day.
