Build Muscle and Bone Without Lifting Heavy
Your muscles don’t care what number’s on the barbell. They care about what it feels like in your body.

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