“I’d love to try hanging - but holding up my own body weight feels a long way off”
This super fun activity
isn’t just for children…
Adults can (& should) get back on the monkey bars too!
Hanging & swinging give our bodies a big dose of essential movement nutrients most of us are missing from our daily life.
They’re a great way to build upper body strength, shoulder mobility, and improve your posture.
Yet so many of us haven’t swung on the monkey bars since we were children.
That’s because there are so many barriers — whether that’s a lack of space, lack of shoulder mobility or lack of grip strength.
If you haven’t played on the monkey bars in years, then keep reading.
Because the good news is that hanging is more accessible than you may realize.
You can enjoy wellness benefits of hanging:
- Counteract the hours spent hunched over your mobile or laptop
- Maintain healthy, strong shoulders that can move through their full range of motion
- Improve spinal alignment to prevent the common back hump that can develop as we age
- Nurture better lung and heart function for more optimal breathing
- Build upper body strength so you can lift heavy groceries, tend to your garden and open sticky jars
- Increase bone density in your wrists to lower your risk of fractures
- Improve grip strength (which has been shown to be a key predictor of your life expectancy — surprising, right?!)
- Improve lymph circulation so you can support breast health
- Build functional core strength (and some people even get pelvic floor benefits too!)
Everybody Can Hang!
In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn prep exercises so you can get started using hanging as a super fun way to build upper body strength and function, increase mobility, and counteract hunched shoulders
We go live on Thursday October 3 at 8pm EST
Free 90-minute online workshop. Limited-time replay available.
You’ll learn how to:
- Hang with proper shoulder alignment so you can build upper body strength to prevent injuries and counteract time spent on your phone or computer
- Find length and strength in your chest muscles for better posture and breast health (as well as - eventually - swinging on the monkey bars)
- Keep your spine happy when you lift your arms overhead
- Increase your hanging time with some really delicious hand stretches
- Get started hanging even if you don’t have a hanging bar or rings — in fact, you already have the equipment for this in your home, seriously!!
- Progress your hanging journey with my keep-forever training on how to take your new skills to the nearest playground
Everybody Can Hang! is free & designed to meet your body where it’s at
(even if you only have a small space, limited grip strength
or no idea where to start)
Designed for any body
You’ll learn how to prep your shoulders to hold your body weight in a gentle and safe way, strengthen and mobilize your chest, spine and shoulders, and get the benefits of full hanging.
Equipment-free
All you need is some items you probably already have at home — a folded blanket, a soup can, a book and a solid doorway. The workshop will show you how to prepare your body for hanging so you won’t need much gear.
Progress your ability
Once your body is prepped, continue your hanging journey with keep-forever access to my training: “How to progress your hanging”. I’m pulling this from my Take10 membership just for Everybody Can Hang! attendees.
Warning!!
You may find yourself swinging across the monkey bars for the first time since you were 8

Hi!
If we haven't met,
I'm Petra!
I’m a passionate movement coach who will teach you how to move your body safely, efficiently and effectively.
Thanks to my love of hanging from all the monkey bars I find, I’m used to stares from strangers.
But I know that not everyone has access to a playground or has the strength needed to hold their own body weight.
That’s why I want to make hanging accessible so everyone can benefit from this movement essential.
Everything I teach is based on the latest movement science, so you can create sustainable long-term wellness & feel like yourself, again.
Seriously, Everybody can hang! is for you, if you:
- Need a gentle way to prep your body so you don’t worsen any injuries (or cause any new ones!)
- Want to create a solid hanging practice, even if you haven’t been on the monkey bars in years
- Hope for a fun way to incorporate more movement into your daily life (plus I’ll reveal details of how you can join my membership if you’re serious about building a movement-rich life)
- Live in a 800-foot apartment or a three-storey house — you don’t need a spare room or garage to enjoy hanging
- Hope to enjoy the wellness benefits of hanging, even if you lack upper body strength or your grip is weak
- Want to counteract issues associated with getting older like decreased bone density, the hunched-over look, and a lack of upper body strength
Yes, I believe everybody can improve their strength and mobility and get back on the monkey bars again…
It can feel impossible to build this movement pattern into your daily life. Even if you know you want to get started, it’s tough to build your capacity gently and safely without risking injury.
Even if you can’t hold your own body weight, you lack grip strength, or you don’t live near a playground… I’m here to tell you that you can get the benefits of hanging. Yes, everybody can!!
When you respect your current shoulder range of motion, improve shoulder mobility, and then progress gently and safely, you can experience the wellness benefits of hanging. Even if swinging from the monkey bars feels a long way off…I invite you to join Everybody Can Hang!, a live workshop dedicated to helping you prep your body to hang and swing, for the first time in decades.
Your journey starts today! I can’t wait to hang with you!
I want to swing from the monkey bars!
