R.O.S.S. is Anne’s original idea for corrective, injury free, pain free movement.

Warm your muscles and tune your brain into your body by starting with release work. Organize your small stabilizers (transverse abdominals, paraspinals). Strengthening large muscle groups boosts your metabolism, making your body more efficient. Stretching at the end of your session (not at the beginning) allows you to check in with your body yet again, and facilitates smooth, graceful, supple movement.
