Instructor

Founder & Owner

Crystal Derry

Crystal felt early on in her career that purposeful movement was key to unlocking a better life. With a degree in Exercise Physiology and accreditation in Movement Analysis and Functional Range Conditioning, she developed a series of programs that utilize movement in order to awaken the nervous system and unlock better performance. Unsatisfied with only the kinetic benefits of movement, Crystal also became a registered therapist and yoga instructor in order to bring the positive benefits of meditation and psychology into MVMNT. This resulted in a program based on years of movement learning and testing, distilled down to the exact programs necessary for living the fullest possible life.

Testimonials

importance of breathing

@hs_sunnyyy

@mobility_mvmnt @crystalmderry #mobilitymvmnt has helped me so much with not only my mobility but also my awareness of my breathing in a workout or when I’m stressed. It had never really occurred to me how much breath work is important. Todays video only solidifies that.

mind-body connection

@ezvisibility

...because so much that goes on inside your body is linked (that mind-body connection is real, y’all) and creates physical tension that builds and builds and layers and tangles and doesn’t get better until we address it…we are all walking around with heaviness and tightness and wound up insides and and and… today’s practice is that first step.

what is self-regulation?

@rodney_martin_jr

What is Self-regulation? Its the ability to understand and manage your own behaviour and reactions. We love the education behind everything in this series before the mobility portion 🙏🏽

learning to relax

@naushamuc

After today's @mobility_mvmnt, I feel as relaxed as Flint cuddled in bed 😆 Turns out I was holding a lot of tension like, everywhere. Today's soft tissue work was much needed.

downregulation

heather.b.e

Today’s lessons - releasing stress and ohhhh yes I have stress that’s ready to go. I need to downregulate. Much of my tension and pain are triggered by emotions and high stress. Thanks for this video sequence, my fav to date.
