Private Movement Training

Do you desire to become an attentive, resilient, exuberant mover?

Train with Matthew Krepps, Founder & Co-owner of CYS

Matthew has been a practitioner of the systems of Yoga and Movement for many decades. He is FMS certified, and his private work has grown to include designing programs for elite athletes , many of whom compete on the world stage: tennis players, bullfighters, Olympic beach volleyball players, and rock climbers.

Matt’s Method

  • Move.

    We tailor our programs to an individual's uniqueness by creating practices that can be accomplished in a timely way that moves you forward toward your specific aspirations in a sustainable way.

  • Adapt.

    Our movers learn about their weakest links by finding asymmetries in the system and learning how to re-integrate them. We screen for motor control competency and for structural compensation, focusing effort to uncover and integrate dysfunctions that develop from injury, occupation, poor lifestyle awareness, and training. The goal of our adaptation strategies is to mentor movers who are anti-fragile in the face of experience, who grow more and more competent through encountering the stress, chaos, and constant changes in life.

  • Transcend.

    For the human being, the answer to life's challenges is found by responding to them in ways that manifest meaning and purpose, and generate the sense that we are connected to something higher than ourselves. We call this orientation to life and action the Flow State. In Flow, action is effortless, learning is efficient, emotions are stable, concentration is unshakable, intuition is operative, and purpose is self-renewing. These conditions naturally arise within the context of intimacy with the body and mastery over its possibilities. AMT offers a way to study, embody, and cultivate the conditions that give rise to Flow so that high-performance emerges as our default orientation to all of life.

Calling All Athletes

Matt’s Adapt-Move-Transcend method is founded on human evolutionary building blocks of locomotion. All humans roll, creep, crawl, kneel, squat, stand on a single leg, and step over obstacles. In your sessions with Matt, you will use these same primordial patterns with added layers of complexity, creativity, and intensity.

The goal is to direct development toward high performance and spontaneity.

Matt has had the privilege of working with world-class athletes from 3 continents, from semi-pro to Olympic levels. The scope of his work included swimmers, tennis players, professional bullfighters (American version), and beach volleyball players.

  • "Matt’s [AMT session] showed that I had lost a key activation pattern in my hip; from my perspective, I couldn’t walk, sit, or move without pain, discomfort, or anxiety. After several weeks of implementing his movement/walking and dietary recommendations my body improved dramatically; after several months I considered myself cured and have been a committed student of movement ever since."

  • "I worked with Matt to address ongoing chronic pain issues. Matt’s breadth and depth of knowledge, assessment, and skills is unparalleled. As a chronic pain sufferer, being able to work with Matt was a gift. Matt is a true master!"

  • Matt exemplifies the culmination of elite level processes for the development of physical performance, as well as injury prevention and rehabilitation. Not only have I developed the knowledge and skillset as a foundation for my professional career but my own physicality has also changed. Working with Matt has also led me to win a world championship Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament (IBJJF 2019). This experience was nothing short of transformational.”

  • "For the past 10 years I’ve trained with Matt one-on-one. It started with my desire to learn how to do a handstand. We established goals, he assessed my movement, and offered me dynamic workouts that aimed towards my goal while simultaneously addressing my physical limits which got revealed in the process. 10 years later, the freedom and strength I feel in my body is impossible to explain. I am strong, getting stronger all the time. He designed my movement path, and I’ve followed it."
