Connect the Pieces

It’s easy to misunderstand what movement practice is about.

It’s not just about learning novel exercises or collecting more tricks — “new,” but still just more of the same.

What makes a movement practice different is how the pieces connect. Avoiding the common trap of randomly mish-mashing things hoping that they come together to make something meaningful.

One overlooked ingredient for finding meaningful connections in movement is in-depth discussion — not talking for talking’s sake, but clarifying the links between seemingly disparate domains of movement.

These discussions, tied directly to physical experience, broaden your map of the movement landscape.

This creates a symbiotic loop:

the physical work becomes more meaningful,

and the ideas become embodied and pragmatic.

Combining in-depth discussion with hard work is octane for development, yielding fresh insight and integration.
