PRIMAL PRACTICE

Primal Practice is an intuitive, playful practice that draws from multiple yoga, martial, meditation and movement disciplines for inspiration and insight.

-----------------------

Aaron explains what's it about:

"The practice really needs to be experienced to be understood, but think Yoga, parkour, martial arts, dance, bodywork, meditation, brain-plasticity, improvisation, and creativity. It is strengthening, restorative, calming, intense, playful, contemplative, and immediately applicable to life. - It’s about enhancing physical intelligence; the ability to adapt, learn and thrive in any situation. It’s about increasing our ability to care.
Primal Practice makes you feel smart, strong, and agile. It builds relationships, enhances creativity and it nurtures loving-kindness.
I love teaching and I seek to create environments in which people can learn from each other."

Foundations Of Physical Freedom: 

A colorful cluster of foundational practices that nourish your body with a broad spectrum of healthy movement. Over time, these exercises form the neural networks and physical structures that generate vibrant health and foster physical freedom. These preparatory exercises teach you to:

- Modulate tone in your body
- Harness momentum
- Skillfully run the forces of ground and gravity through your system
- Quiet mental chatter
- Amplify awareness of your "inner body"
- Generate altered states of consciousness

Kinetic Koans:

Koans are Zen riddles that reveal our true nature. They cannot be solved by being clever. A koan is cracked when we see beyond the constraints that the question imposes. Kinetic Koans are movement puzzles that invite us to step beyond what the puzzle proposes, into an new relationship to self and space. 

Infinite Play:

Play potentiates learning. Games create the conditions for play to occur. We can play from a "finite" or an "infinite" perspective. Finite play aims at ending play, victorious. The goal of infinite play is to continue playing. Primal Practice games are a space in which insight and skill arise and can be refined. The games pique curiosity, evoke laughter, cultivate physical intelligence and develop us as infinite players.
