REVIVAL
For people who’ve been told lifting weights is the only way

Build Muscle and Bone Without Lifting Heavy

What people notice when they do this work

Shared by students and members in Dr. Lily’s community and DMs.

“My glutes are active and they weren’t before … My arms are getting tone, my legs too.”
Mónica Huarte, REPATTERN student
Mónica Huarte's community post: In my case the transformation with repattern has been impressive. The first thing I noticed was that I was not compensating with my neck as I always do when I exercise. My posture is amazing now, my glutes are active and they weren't before and I feel more air. My arms are getting tone, my legs too. This practice feels right, healthy, and my body is loving it.
“No, there is no weight loss between these pictures.”
Nina Alaranta, in Before and Afters
Nina Alaranta's community post titled A little before and after: It's crazy how fast you can get rid of back fat when repatterning your ribs. I still can't believe the difference in such a short time and no, there is no weight loss between these pictures. With three before and after photos.
“Woke up feeling like I am in a new body!”
Miranda Johnson, bodyworker
Miranda Johnson's community post titled Inspired: Finished lower body tensegrity yesterday evening. Slept amazing and woke up feeling like I am in a new body! I had no idea how much the holding pattern in my pelvis has been blocking me my entire life. As a bodyworker and fascia enthusiast this is a missing piece to the puzzle for me.
“My overall tone has completely changed.”
Denise Schneider, REPATTERN student
Denise Schneider's comment: I can not believe the change in my body. My family has noticed as well. It's so subtle yet incredible. My overall tone has completely changed. Your cues on how and where to actually feel the engagement have been so helpful to me. I'm just all over more energetic. Thank you for your thorough and extremely thoughtful work.
“I can definitely see why my back always hurt in the past when I tried to do this.”
Rachel Logan, started lifting with bow posture
Rachel Logan's community post: I just recently started playing around with lifting with bow posture and have been incredibly humbled by how hard it is to keep the bow tone when adding weights. So I've mostly just been experimenting with trying different traditional movements with these principles body weight and I can definitely see why my back always hurt in the past when I tried to do this. Lily Baker, you're so right when you say there's no short cut for the basics. And it's so different to have the tone vs making the shape. So excited to keep working through this course and continue repatterning! With before and after photos.
“If only I had known this 30 years ago.”
Instagram DM, age 48
Direct message: I've had a really tight uneven forward rolling shoulder all my adult life, and I'm 48 now. I listened to what you said about breathing into your upper ribs and opening the chest, and my shoulder has released and returned to a more natural comfortable position, and my neck pain is so much better. If only I had known this 30 years ago.

What you’ve been told

You need heavier and heavier weights to keep building muscle.

If it isn’t the gym, it isn’t real training.

What Dr. Lily teaches

Muscle and bone respond to three levers. Heavy load is the only one most people ever get taught.

Hi, I’m Dr. Lily

I made REVIVAL from the humility of letting my heavy strength training workouts go, because I couldn’t do them and hold the open posture I so desperately needed to heal at the same time.

Once I REPATTERNed myself, I knew I needed a new way to build and keep muscle that didn’t compromise my joints. After a year of training this way, I have more muscle, a bigger bum, and a stronger back and shoulders, with no more teeth grinding, pelvic floor pain or knee pain.

Questions

I already lift. Do I need this?

REVIVAL can work alongside your training or fully replace your workouts, depending on what your body needs. Either way, you start with Foundation.

I’m a beginner, older, or in pain. Can I do this?

Yes. There’s the Foundation series, a Reshape series for doing bodywork on yourself, and a Regulate series where you can work completely on the floor and still build muscle and bone. Move slowly. Pain is never right.

What if I join after October 19?

Start with Foundation, then move into October’s videos at your own pace. Everything stays in the library.

Is there a minimum commitment?

No. REVIVAL is month to month, and you can cancel anytime.

What equipment will I need?

Most videos require no special equipment. I’ll let you know what you need before each one.

I recommend moving on a mat or sheepskin rug, outside whenever possible. Occasionally, we’ll use weights, rocks, or a countertop. I’ll show you how to use what you already have or what to purchase.

What is the time commitment?

You can make it fit your life. We recommend three 20 to 40 minute strength workouts each week, 10 to 40 minute videos on the other days, and Sunday rest for sunshine and family.

Should I take the REPATTERN class or do REVIVAL?

REPATTERN class requires a larger time commitment, as each video is around an hour. It’s my most in-depth offering, teaching you the anatomy, theory, and foundational principles behind this work.

REVIVAL brings those principles into shorter, easier-to-fit sessions with strength training workouts, without as much of the anatomical backstory.

Start with REPATTERN if you want to deeply understand the theory. Choose REVIVAL if you want more digestible chunks of guidance, want to build muscle without pain, or have done REPATTERN already.

Is REVIVAL right for my injury or issue?

REVIVAL is not medical treatment and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. It is a movement-based practice designed to help guide the body toward a more natural, healthy, open posture.

These principles have also helped people better support their bodies while experiencing concerns such as diastasis recti, leakage, pelvic floor dysfunction, low-back pain, plantar fasciitis, knee and shoulder discomfort, neck pain, headaches, jaw pain, grinding and clenching, airway concerns, scoliosis, and more.

Your health is your responsibility. Reach out to your provider or book a 1:1 if you need help.

I’m pregnant or postpartum

REVIVAL is the ideal way to prepare your body for birth, or reconnect with it and build new patterns afterward. Your body needs the same foundational principles during pregnancy and postpartum as it does at any other time, only more intentionally.

Around birth, move slowly and focus on the Foundations section. Every mama, pregnancy, birth, and recovery is different. Pain is never right. Book a 1:1 session if you need individualized support.

I have hypermobility

This is especially for you. Learning how to hold your joints is good for everyone but vital for you. Dr. Lily is hypermobile herself, and after getting diagnosed and not finding good answers on how to support her body, she dove deep into figuring it out for herself.

Take it slow and use a mirror to see what you’re actually doing.

Can I work 1:1 with Dr. Lily?

Yes. Make sure you have done the Foundation series at least twice before you book, to make the most of your time together. Bring your questions written down so we can refine your movement and bring clarity for you.

This is for you if

You’ve been told building muscle means heavier and heavier weights, a gym, and maybe supplements.
You tried it, and your back, knees, shoulders or pelvic floor paid for it.
You avoided strength training because it never fit your body.
You lift, and you can’t hold your posture once the weight goes up.
You want to build muscle in the places you actually want it, and feel supple, springy and strong.

This isn’t for you if

You’re unwilling to slow down, lower the weight or temporarily do less so your body can learn a better way to move.
You’re looking for a program that tells you to push through pain, chase intensity or measure progress only by how hard you worked.
You want someone else to fix your body for you without changing how you move through your workouts and daily life.

Start Foundation today. Be ready on the 19th.

Build Muscle Without Weights opens inside REVIVAL on Monday, October 19. Every new member starts with the six Foundation videos, so joining now means you’re ready when it opens. $49 a month. Month to month, cancel anytime.
