Challenges
The Unfurl Spring Challenge
Five weeks. Five foundational moves. As spring unfurls, so do we.
Five weeks. Twenty-five boxes.
Winter asked us to slow down. Spring asks for something different.
The Slow Burn carried us through the cold - small rituals and more intentional movement. Kōra’s next challenge is an invitation expand. The Unfurl is about opening out as the days get longer.
This challenge is an invitation to move more, deep dive into foundational reformer pilates moves while also exploring new movement outside the studio.
How it works
Five movement sessions a week, for five weeks.
𖦹 Four classes at Kōra. Any format, any time on the timetable - Flow, Power, Foundations, Reset. Whatever fits your week and whatever your body is feeling.
𖦹 One session of your own, outside. Thirty minutes of intentional movement, anywhere but here. A long walk, yoga on your balcony, a fun run, a swim, a ride, a hike, an ocean dip, dancing - whatever gets you moving. Get outside if you can - that's rather the point of spring.
That's five sessions a week. Twenty-five across the whole challenge over 5 weeks.
𖦹 Every completed week earns you one entry into the prize draw.
The wall
There's a wall chart in the studio with your name on it and twenty-five boxes beside it. You get a sticker to pop in a box every time you move.
The five moves
Week one · The Roll Up - the unfurl itself. Wake the spine, shake off winter.
The spirit of the challenge, made physical.
Week two · The Hundred - ignite. Breath, heat, energy.
The energy week. Stamina and breath rhythm, and a room full of people pumping and clearing their lungs, building endurance.
Week three · The Elephant - lengthen and ground. Long spine, strong centre.
The mid-challenge reset. A breather for tired bodies that still asks for precision.
Week four · The Bridge - open and lift. Undo the winter hunch.
Hips, the posterior chain, open chest. Lifting toward the light after months of curling inward.
Week five · The Mermaid - open out. Length, breath, ease.
Lateral movement and expansion to close out the challenge.
Finishing
A week counts when all five sessions are done inside that week, Monday to Sunday. Moving consistently is the challenge.
Every completed week earns you one entry into the prize draw. Up to five entries. Which means consistency is rewarded, and slipping one week is not a reason to stop.
Complete all five and you're a finisher.
The community soak
Every participant is invited to a community bathhouse session to celebrate the challenge end - sauna, cold plunge and nibbles.
Tickets are $40
