The key to physical health is a diversity of movement.

Hi, I’m Annie Adamson.

I’m a healer at heart and educator by design.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been insatiably curious about movement. As a struggling teen mom, movement was the medicine that helped me navigate my life’s traumas and find equanimity, resilience and healing.

At the age of 24, I opened a yoga studio in Portland, Oregon with my husband Todd. I wanted to share the transformative power of intentional movement with my community. I undertook a journey to learn everything I could about the body – including why pain shows up and what can be done to remedy it.

Since then, I’ve studied injury rehabilitation and yoga therapeutics with world-renowned teachers…

Led thousands of public classes and workshops…

And helped hundreds of private clients use the tools of yoga, mindfulness, functional movement and natural medicine to awaken to greater health, healing and self-empowerment.

Today, I’m proud to have created a method that helps countless people find greater freedom in their bodies.

An inspiring story by @studonivic

"I had a heart attack, followed by open heart surgery (yes, the kind where they slice open your breastbone and put you on a heart/lung machine). I remember total blackness in the ICU and underneath that blanket of darkness a primal awareness that I was breathing, and alive. That’s it. I don’t remember the move to a regular room, but do remember waking up with that same awareness, only being in a bed with light around me. I knew I was okay, breathing, and attached to all kinds of “stuff.” The primal kernel within me immediately scoped the surroundings, and employed all of usual five senses. I knew I was safe, the surgery was done, and the next step was to figure out how to get my life back, and better.

One of the first things Annie taught me was how to hinge my hips, how to engage my core, and how to breathe. After surgery I was told I could not use my arms for anything other than holding a book to read or a utensil to eat. Using my upper body for leverage/movement was a “NO.”

The first time I sat up, I mentally thanked Annie for primal! Sitting up the first time heightened all my senses as I felt like a stranger returning to my body and surroundings.

The next day after surgery I was up and walking. Putting my feet on the ground felt wonderful, as did bending my knees and coming into a high squat to assess hip and back mobility and leg strength. Walking was barefoot so I could feel the floor (and ultimately the earth below) was grounding. My hips worked well enough that I did not do the usual “hospital shuffle.

Fast forward to five months after surgery: set a record for functional fitness of 101 percent due to cardiac rehab and primal/yoga practice at home. It was a tedious journey, but a victorious one, that would not have been nevigated nearly as successfully without primal training and movement. Regular yoga movement was an added bonus, but basic primal, movement and awareness is what got me through this journey. Thank you, Annie; I love you."

How is primal movement showing up in your life?
