About Us
Hidden Forest Studio has been transforming lives since 2013 — helping people where standard fitness or therapy failed. We specialize in complex cases: chronic pain, posture and mobility issues, psychosomatic issues, stress-related tension, and conditions often labeled “uncurable.”
Every specialist in our team was personally trained by Jane Kabarguina — author, nervous system expert, and the leader of 500+ transformative retreats and educational workshops. Our methods go deeper than exercise:
we retrain the nervous system, not just muscles.
Here, you don’t adapt to a class —
we adapt the practice to you.
The Hidden Forest Approach to Scoliosis
If you live with scoliosis or a structural spinal condition, you already know that a standard, one-size-fits-all exercise class doesn’t work. When a routine assumes every spine is perfectly symmetrical, it can lead to frustration, muscle strain, or deep discomfort.
At Hidden Forest Studio, we look at movement through a different lens. Leveraging an analytical, mathematical understanding of body mechanics, we don’t just guide you through generic poses. We look closely at your unique spinal curve patterns, identifying areas of compression that need lengthening and identifying weaker muscle groups that require targeted strengthening.
No Guesswork: We build an internal corset of support for your spine.
True Personalization: Every session adapts to your body’s daily asymmetry.
A Safe Haven: A quiet, supportive environment focused entirely on your functional education.
Core Focus Areas for Spinal Management
Managing a spinal curve requires a sophisticated balance of stability and release. Our private sessions focus heavily on four mechanical pillars:
| Pillar | How We Approach It | The Structural Benefit |
| Pelvic Stability | Aligning the base of your spine using precise prop setups. | Reduces uneven wear on the hip joints and creates a level foundation. |
| Spinal Elongation | Utilizing gravity and gentle traction techniques to create space. | Relieves chronic pressure on compressed, concave areas of your curve. |
| Asymmetrical Strengthening | Targeting the under-worked muscles holding the spine’s convex side. | Helps balance the muscular tug-of-war pulling at your posture. |
| Proprioceptive Awareness | Teaching your brain to recognize what “neutral alignment” feels like. | Empowers you to carry better posture habits into your daily life. |
What to Expect: Your Structural Assessment
We understand that starting a new movement practice when dealing with a spinal condition can feel intimidating. That is why your journey with Jane and the Hidden Forest team always begins with a detailed, analytical intake process.
Comprehensive Intake: Step 1
We map out your complete physical history, looking closely at your specific diagnosis, occupation habits, and past areas of injury or chronic tension.
Visual Alignment Mapping: Step 2
We quietly observe your body mechanics in simple, functional movements to see exactly how your spine and pelvis navigate gravity.
Prop Customization: Step 3
We introduce specialized props—such as wedges, blocks, and bolsters—to safely modify positions so your asymmetrical muscles can engage without strain.
Your Daily Home Blueprint: Step 4
You walk away with simple, actionable body awareness techniques you can use while sitting at your desk, driving, or relaxing at home.
A Supportive Environment for Your Quest
“Super supportive environment and very conducive to learning about your body which has always been my quest.”
