Recovery

The Recovery Protocol

Sleep, stretching, screens, and touch - the unglamorous half of training where the adaptation actually happens.

Training breaks you down; recovery builds you back stronger. The Recovery Protocol treats the hours away from the gym as the other half of the program - sleep architecture, a stretch routine measured in minutes, a screen-free hour that rewrites bedtime, and an honest look at what touch-based recovery is actually for.

Nothing in this course requires equipment, supplements, or a cold plunge. It requires ten minutes and a door you can close.

What you'll learn

  • Build a ten-minute evening stretch routine you'll actually repeat
  • Protect the last hour before bed from the screen that's stealing your sleep
  • Understand what massage and self-massage can and can't do
  • Schedule recovery like a session, not an afterthought

Priya Nair

Recovery instructor

Priya teaches sleep, rest days, and the parts of training that happen away from the gym. Her background in physical therapy shows up in how skeptical she is of anything sold as a shortcut.

  • Oliver H.

    I bought this expecting a stretching video and got a genuine argument for treating recovery as part of the programme. My sleep is the best it has been in years.

  • Nadia C.

    The screen-free hour is the only sleep advice that has ever stuck for me, mostly because Priya explains why rather than just instructing.

  • Greg T.

    Solid and honest, particularly about what self-massage can and cannot do. The ten-minute stretch is now part of my evening.

  • Mei Z.

    Refreshingly sceptical. She spends as much time telling you what does not work as what does, which made me trust the rest.
