“Remove Stress from the Mind, Release Tension from the Body”
Relaxation Meditation
Relaxation meditation involves the practice of various meditative exercises. This includes mindfulness exercises, breathing exercises, and focused visualization.
Release Practices
Centers on the principle of reducing tension in the tendons and ligaments of the physical body through the practice of releasing postures.
Releasing postures promote the achievement of a full range of motion in the joints.
The release of tension allows for a more efficient circulation of blood and energy, allowing a practitioner to return to a more natural state of movement, health, and well-being.
Strengthening Practices
Centers on the principle of the development of relaxed strength throughout the body.
These practices complement the Releasing Practices and help the practitioner to develop greater strength throughout the increased range of motion achieved by releasing tension.
With the development of relaxed strength, a practitioner is able to generate more effective strength with less effort.
Breath & Energy Circulation
Practices centered on the optimization of oxygen and nutrient circulation to all cells, tissues, and organs of the body.
This involves slow-moving, non-impactful, meditative movements with the use of deep rhythmic breathing.
Energy levels, strength, and overall health are improved.
Calisthenic Practices
Rhythmic exercises are practiced with no equipment or minimal equipment (e.g., 1-5 lb weights).
Calisthenics are done to maintain a high level of mobility, flexibility, strength, energy, and endurance.
Active flow is an exploratory practice focused on the development of transitional movement between postures.
The improvement of transitional movement heightens the release of tension throughout the body’s connective tissue and deeply into the joints.
To dynamically move through all postures with flexibility and strength promotes true flexibility, strength, and stability in tendons and ligaments in all ranges of motion and movement.
