Range: A Movement Platform by Kara Duval

I needed to write my own ode to Range- often lovingly referred to as a “movement medicine cabinet.” Not only do I feel physically stronger but I now have deeper access to my full self in ways I didn’t know were possible. Range varies- with elements from Pilates, to functional movement, strength training, and mobility, to restorative work.

Not only do classes range (ha!), Kara has cultivated a community and practice rooted in care, connecting back to nature, bringing your full self (truly), and a place where she fosters autonomy while somehow also lovingly guiding you towards challenging your own depth.

Range is many things at once. Rebellious, nurturing, empowering, comforting, playful, challenging, and so much more. It’s impossible to define! But it’s everything I could ever want in a movement practice and more.

Plus, Kara’s values are deeply seen and felt. From responding herself to each email and message, to providing financial assistance to remove barriers to access, she keeps human connection at the forefront when that is becoming incredibly rare and difficult to do.

I truly know and feel in my bones that I will be moving alongside Kara and other Range members for life.

I welcome you to show up in your comfiest clothes, with your mug of tea/coffee beside you and embrace the joy and tenderness of jitterbugging away.
