Before you train.

Physical readiness

UMBRA work is partner-based movement with contact, pressure, and change of direction. It is beginner-safe by design — problems are scaled to the people in the room — but it is physical. If you have a condition, injury history, or any doubt, say so before your first session. The coach will adapt or, when necessary, tell you this isn't the right time.

Consent & communication

Every session begins from the same rule: contact is negotiated, not assumed. You set your own intensity. You can pause, stop, or sit out at any time — no explanation required. The coach is responsible for the boundary; you are responsible for communicating yours.

The space

UMBRA operates from a private garage laboratory in Roseville. It is a working space — dark, compact, and real. Session size is deliberately small (up to four people) so every participant has room and attention.

The address is shared privately after you confirm a spot — never published. Arrival instructions come with your confirmation.

Before your first session

• · Complete the intake questions when you express interest.
• · Review and sign the waiver (required before you can train).
• · Wear clothes you can move and sweat in; no shoes on the mat.
• · Arrive a few minutes early. Sessions start and end on time.
• · Eat light beforehand. Water is available.
