Meet Callan Krause
A lifelong student of the human body.
“Bodyworkers University is the education I wish I had when I started.”
Callan has spent years studying anatomy, movement, corrective exercise and the way the human body works - learning from respected practitioners, researchers and educators around the world.
But the more he's learned, the less interested he's become in having all the answers.
His approach is simple: understand the body, question everything, stay curious and always be willing to say maybe.
“This stuff has been around me for as long as I can remember.”
My dad was obsessed with the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, so conversations around posture, movement and the human body were part of my life from a young age.
At the time, I probably rejected more of it than I listened to. But looking back, a lot of those ideas stuck.
My own obsession really began when I saw a friend overcome a significant back injury. That experience introduced me to the work of Paul Chek and the CHEK Institute, and sent me down a path of wanting to understand why people move the way they do, why pain shows up, and what we can actually do about it.
What started as an interest became years of study, mentorship and hands-on experience.
Learning from everywhere.
Learning from everywhere.
I've always tried to learn from people who know more than me.
I've spent years investing in education, mentorships and hands-on learning.
That has included extensive study through the CHEK Institute and mentorship under Diane Lee, Ian O'Dwyer and Susie Neville, alongside learning from physical therapists and practitioners across different disciplines.
I've also spent countless hours studying the work of people such as Shirley Sahrmann and Professor Keith Baar, both of whom I've had the opportunity to sit down with and interview.
Their work - and the work of many others - has challenged the way I think about movement, assessment, rehabilitation and the human body.
But I don't believe in blindly following anyone. Including me.
Learn from good people. Test the ideas. Keep asking questions.
THE MORE I LEARN,
THE MORE COMFORTABLE I BECOME SAYING...
‘MAYBE’.
There isn't always one answer. That's what keeps this interesting.
Why Bodyworkers?
Everything I wish I knew when I started, in the order I wish I knew it.
I've spent years collecting exercises, stretches, tissue techniques, assessments and different ways of looking at the body.
Some things worked. Some didn't. Some completely changed the way I thought.
But the learning was scattered everywhere.
I always wished there was one place where I could learn the anatomy, understand why it mattered, see the assessment, watch someone work with a real person and then see what happened next.
So that's what I'm building.
Bodyworkers University isn't about giving you another system to blindly follow.
It's about giving you the tools to think for yourself.
Learn the anatomy and understand how different parts of the body influence one another.
UNDERSTAND
QUESTION
Don't just memorise what to do. Keep asking why you're doing it.
Test ideas. Learn from what works. Change your mind when the evidence in front of you tells you to.
STAY CURIOUS
None of us have the body completely figured out.
And that's the point.
Bodyworkers is a place to learn, question, share ideas and become better at understanding the person standing in front of you.
If that's the way you want to learn, I'd love to have you inside.
