Strong, sexy and backed by science.
Every exercise and posture has a purpose worth defining. Sequential Body is a progression-based method for low-impact training that proves its results.
The same method, taught four ways.

Every posture has prerequisites: actions the body has to own, in order, before the larger shape becomes available. A Sequential Body class teaches that order, so you feel each part arrive before you are asked for the whole.
The Sequential Arc
Every class and every program follows the same three-phase arc.
- Prime
The body is prepared for the work ahead: mobility, joint position and control in the ranges the session will use.
- Load
Strength is built progressively. Load, range, stability and complexity increase on purpose, one variable at a time.
- Perform
The peak of the session or program, where the prepared body takes on its most demanding work.
Proven results, tracked over time.
Programs run in 6, 8 and 12 week blocks. Strength, mobility and control are measured at the start and end of each block, so you can see exactly what changed.

Our first in-person studio, opening soon
The studio is where the method is taught in the room: small group classes, private sessions and continuing education for teachers. Founding members get the first schedule and founding rates before booking opens to the public.
Retreats and Trainings
Immersive study gives the method time. Several days in one place let a single idea build from morning to evening.

Hear about trainings firstFor studios and movement brands
I help studios write down the method underneath their classes, then train their teams to teach it.
Movement principles, exercise selection, progression and regression criteria, loading standards and injury considerations.
Formats with a stated movement objective, a fixed structure and a progression path, so each one has a reason to be on the schedule.
Class templates, movement libraries, coach manuals, cueing standards and assessments, written and ready to use.
Coach onboarding, staff intensives and train-the-trainer sessions, so the method runs the same way when I am not in the room.
For Pilates and reformer studios, yoga schools, boutique and hybrid strength brands, and hotel wellness programmes.
Sequential Body was built by Hollywood trainer and movement expert Emilie Perz, drawing on twenty years of sports medicine, rehabilitation and teacher education.
Twenty years between the clinic and the studio.
My work began in sports medicine. I completed more than 1,000 hours of clinical training in orthopedic rehabilitation of the shoulder, hip and spine, and spent years working alongside physical therapists in Los Angeles. That changed how I taught. I stopped asking what a posture should look like and started asking what the body is being asked to do inside it.
Sequential Body is the method that came out of that question. I teach it online, in Bali, in teacher trainings, and inside the studios I build curriculum for.
