    I’ve seen too many instructors skip or hodgepodge their warm-ups

    Leading to frustrated students, inconsistent performance, and preventable injuries.
    That’s why I created this simple, effective blueprint: to help you build better warm-ups in less time — and teach with confidence.

    👋 I’m Dr. Emily Rausch — a sports chiropractor and pole dancer. I created this guide based on evidence-based movement prep principles and both pole student & instructor experience.
