We start teaching from the reality of what our bodies are, not from an imitation of how we think they should look. We will not encourage our clients to build muscle on top of a self already confused by an out-of-whack cultural ideal. We see teaching as a collaboration between client and teacher. Therefore, we make sure our students understand, from a body level, why they are doing what we ask them to do. We are dedicated to teaching exercise in a new way: one that recognizes not only the power of building strength, but also the necessity of learning how to let go of tension and allow the body to use the economic and architectural integrity of the skeletal structure. The paradox is that by learning this way we arrive, anyway, at a graceful, esthetic, toned and more confident body.
