the magic of mistakes:
Your Performance Lab
Begin where you begin. One step at a time.
A 6-month Performance Lab to help you better understand your body, your biology, physiology and your cycles of fatigue.
This is not a quick-fix or feel-good program. This is an invitation to self-experiment. It’s a process that will teach you how to create a deliberate practice for your body and your needs—so you can stop spinning in burnout and start responding with long-term lifestyle changes.
This is for athletes seeking embodiment. High performers who already train, move, or explore physiology—but want deeper nuance and personal precision. Those who are craving a space to study how your body responds to fatigue, emotion, and stress in real time.
This Performance Lab is fit for those who keep finding themselves in burnout despite taking time off. By teaching you how to prevent depletion before it hits.
Over the course of 13 sessions, you’ll explore how the body speaks through your breath rate, heart rate, and more. We’ll cover foundational markers and concepts (like hydration, sleep, movement, hormones, and lymphatics), but in a way that’s usable and real.
Tools that meet you where you’re at.
First we unravel our previous ways of being. Exploring how our deeply embedded emotions can and do drive our behaviors.
These 6-months give you the time to refine how your physiology responds to pressure, emotion, and mistakes.
For curious, growth-driven minds. The ‘Magic of Mistakes’ helps you decode how your body responds to stress—and how to build resilience from where you begin.
You are not broken, however, you may be misinformed about your own inner intelligence.
This Performance Lab is designed for people who are ready to:
Shift from depletion and anxiousness into a sense of personal peace
Rebuild a relationship with their body that feels accessible, not performative
Learn to coach themselves through discovering what their body needs, in real time, not just relying on willpower, motivation, or someone else’s protocol
Each session is built around a layered framework—building your capacity. You’ll get practical tools, experiments you get to play with, and perspective shifts to help you build awareness and autonomy for the long run.
Come if you’re curious.
We will self-experiment together in this Performance Lab created for the Embodied Athlete.

Robbie Man maintains a worldwide accreditation for The Breath Science Certification by Martin McPhilimey, is a Level 2 Kinstretch™ Certified Instructor, Certified Roll Model Method Practitioner™, Certified in Body by Breath®, a FRCms™ (Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist), FRAms™ (Functional Range Assessment mobility specialist), and loves laughing at Kinstretch™ faces. She’s dived into the Lymphatic work from StopChasingPain™ and is a Certified Yoga Instructor with over 500 hrs of training and over 1000 teaching hrs. Her specialty is Yoga Nidra or NSDR (non-sleep deep rest) where she enjoys writing her own scripts using the latest science behind the traditional practice.
Robbie believes in the functions of a whole body as one complex individualized system. Through her exposure to SHIFT Adapt, Robbie has been able to take all of her training to another level. Surprise surprise, it’s all connected after all.
Her main driver is to spread Big Bradds Love by passing on the lessons left by her dog Braddah, who saved her life.

Alysha Evans is a functional nutritionist and owner of Alysha Evans Wellness, a virtual practice that serves clients across the United States. With extensive training in functional gut testing and gut healing, she works with clients with a wide variety of health issues to achieve a healthy gut and vibrant full-body health.
Alysha takes a bio-individual approach, and her philosophy is deeply rooted in her own journey, healing decades of chronic gut and autoimmune illness. She knows from experience how functional healthcare, despite its promises of better care, overemphasizes supplements and cookie-cutter protocols and continues to fail too many people. This drives Alysha’s approach to address the body holistically. (Do you see why she’s one of my favorites?)
Alysha is passionate about building a better model, one that integrates nutritional therapy, breathwork, movement, and nervous system regulation for truly comprehensive care that is tailored to YOUR unique body and health goals.
(And we get to have her!)

Wibbs has a background in nursing for nearly 20 years in coronary care and emergency medicine. He took this knowledge from western medicine to his yoga teacher studies in India, where he took a deeper dive into eastern thoughts on movement, breathwork and pranayama. From there his own lifelong pains led him to study fascial anatomy with Joanne Avison, the Flow Motion Model with Gary Ward and his Anatomy in Motion Model, neurological methods with Helen Hall and her PFM Way to Efficient Running and completing his PT certification (cause he’s our official yoga, movement and breath badass wanker).
Wibbs has brought together all the aspects of respiration physiology, breathing biomechanics, whole body alignment, biomechanics, movement and even ideas such as primitive reflexes integration to promote a pain free play into people’s lives. (Play might be a specialty with Wibbs)
You could say he has a keen interest in helping people be and live their happiest healthiest self. (And we’re so lucky to have him)

Born and raised in Las Vegas. Martha attended UNLV and attained 2 bachelor’s degrees. One in Sports Nutrition and the other in Kinesiology. She has been a registered dietitian for 11 years and a Strength and Conditioning coach for 8 years.
Martha currently holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (a total badass I must say. And her philosophy is something I can get behind.) She teaches that in order to assist someone in creating their healthy lifestyle, one must view the individual as a whole. Which means taking into consideration their work, home life, stress/stressors, sleep and social life. (Don’t you already feel at ease?)
Martha ‘s attention to her people goes deep. She believes in finding what has held back the individual from achieving their fitness goals so that they can have their breakthrough and live their best life! (I’m honored she’s here!)

what you’ll learn
This lab isn’t about mastering everything. It’s about becoming more fluent in your own needs—learning how to read the signals your body’s been sending all along.
You’ll learn to:
Understand how your body responds to pressure, emotion, and stress (and what to do about it)
Recognize early signs of depletion and how to adjust before burnout
Use breath and movement as feedback systems, not control tactics
Work with your nervous system instead of overriding it
Repattern habits by building awareness, not shame
Build long-term capacity without losing performance
And we’ll do it in a way that feels accessible—one small, doable step at a time.
This is not a quick-fix program and we don’t claim to know it all. In fact, we will show you how much the body still remains a mystery to all of us. This is a practice of listening, adapting, and building a body of inner tools you can actually use.
One step at a time.
session breakdown
Each session lab builds on the last, helping you connect the dots between physiology, awareness, and your lived experience. We’ll move from burnout to breath, fascia to flow, hydration to hormones—all without the pressure to master it all. One layer at a time.
What follows is a session-by-session guide to our 13 sessions in this 6-month Performance Lab. We’ve included the topics so you know where we’re headed.
Note: Dates are not exact and subject to change.
-
10am - Noon (MST): February 7, 2026
Before we begin we must begin with challenging two different thought systems. One, that science is flawless and we know absolutely how our bodies work. And two, that each of our bodies have the same needs. Once that’s established, we can cover what Burnout really is. The symptoms and stages of burnout. How you can recognize if you’re on the road to burnout. And what to do if you’re already there.
-
10am - Noon (MST): February 21, 2026
You may have heard: Sleep is FOUNDATIONAL. However, with our lifestyles it can be difficult to really grasp the depth of truth behind this and why it matters you’re aware of your quality of sleep. Sleep quality affects our ability to recover from injury, problem solving abilities, and emotional regulation. We cover the heart of Robbie’s work, Yoga Nidra aka NSDR and why this is such a powerful tool for our modern lives.
Like the breath, sleep is equally complex and simple. A bonus session will be added for individuals experiencing breathing patterns that become disordered during sleep, like apnea. Enhancing your awareness to when there’s a point where you may need to seek additional professional help.
-
10am - Noon (MST): March 7, 2026
We have a “little man” in our brain called the homunculus. This is important to our sensorial experiences, motor movement, and emotional regulation. We discover ways that we can “draw a bigger map” of ourselves and the world around us to help our brain’s “see” and “feel safe” as we navigate our daily lives. Mixing Robbie’s and Wibbs’s extensive experience with movement and reflexes will give you a deeper understanding of the importance of finding play in the way you move.
-
10am - Noon (MST): March 21, 2026
To attempt to not fall under catch phrase thinking, we want to show you when and where things work right and possibly wonky. This knowledge will help you discern the very individual language of your body. We will give you tools to help you discern what your body is saying to you. Once you can understand how your body individually speaks to you it becomes easier to discern how you can help fulfill your body’s basic needs by.
-
10am - Noon (MST): April 4, 2026
One of our goals in this course is to teach you that there is no such thing as a mind-body connection. Your mind is INSIDE of your body. There is ONLY the body. When we can learn to build a relationship with our body, we can begin to create a healthier connection to our minds. Even when it may seem like you’re anxious or on edge all the time. Utilizing the tools in this session will help guide you towards the “being” we are all seeking.
-
10am - Noon (MST): April 18, 2026
Although you need more than one tool in the toolbox that maintains your body, your breath is your most versatile and powerful. If you think you already know how to breathe, this session will help you understand the physics of how breath can be both simple and complicated. Since we no longer use our bodies for the kinds of movements we’ve been evolved to do, it’s important we begin with the basics. Robbie & Wibbs will cover what’s supposed to move, what is less efficient, and how to meet yourself where you’re at.
-
10am - Noon (MST): May 2, 2026
Robbie & Wibbs are back for more breath experiments coming from two different bodies. In this session we will learn about the complex role of chemistry and how you individually respond to your personal relationship to air hunger. How that relationship can define your reactions in daily life without your awareness. And what you can do to become aware and train your breath where your body begins.
-
10am - Noon (MST): May 16, 2026
Who doesn’t like good ole efficiency?! The great people from SHIFT™ created a GEAR system™ that is a great platform to begin to understand the relationship between what your breath is doing and what energy system your body is using. Both Robbie and Wibbs have used this system to become aware of when or where we may need to up-shift or down-shift our breath based on the type of activity we’re participating in and how our bodies respond to the activities we’re participating in. Allowing us to have more informative physical training.
-
10am - Noon (MST) - May 30, 2026
Cold and heat exposures of all kinds have been so popularized there are more and more people checking boxes without first checking in to what their body needs. We want to teach you what the actual benefits are, appropriate temperatures, times and most of all, the hazards. Everything can be good for you, everything can be bad for you. Let’s find out which practices are suitable for your individual body and circumstance while we explore the amazing organ called your skin.
-
10am - Noon (MST): June 13, 2026
Did you know your body contains more non-human cells than human cells?! Alysha will teach us about the role your microbiome plays in our gut-brain connection, how this network of trillions of microbes is always responding to our environment, and signs we can use to assess the state of our own bio-individual microbiome. We'll discuss why there's so much more to nutrition than simply tracking macros, and how the food we eat is a direct line of communication to that microbial network (and therefore, our overall health!).
-
10am - Noon (MST): June 27, 2026
Your lymphatic system is one of the most important—and often overlooked—components of your body’s health. Lymphatics play a critical role in fluid balance, waste removal, and immune function. We’ll explore the physics of vacuums and fluid flow, and uncover how the lymphatic system works and practical ways to support it. Like hydration, which is more than just drinking more water. Alysha will educate us on how to hydrate down to a cellular level. When you discover how much water is still a mystery, you may find hydration is more important than we realize. This session is all about discovering how small actions can have a big impact on your body and health.
-
10am - Noon (MST): July 11th, 2026
There's no talking about the stress response or homeostasis without talking about hormones. We’re lucky to have Alysha to lead the way. Every function of the body is influenced by the endocrine system, including how we think and behave. It acts as a direct line of communication between our body and both our external and internal environment. Here we'll discuss how changing our environment and our choices can impact this sensitive system.
-
10am - Noon (MST): July 25th, 2026
None of this matters if we aren’t able to build a habit. We will evaluate how your habit building went for the past 6 months and how your habits are tied to your identity. We will discuss the nuance of how the role of community affects your health and well-being. In our last session together we will have a longer pow-wow and discuss some common issues we all experienced with building new habits and the common road blocks that occurred. Together, we will get back up and try again and again. Finding The Magic of our Mistakes!
