This Month’s Focus
Part One: The Road To Elysium
Today’s Class
Physical Practice (Part One)
Today’s Target
When it comes to our instrument, our finish line is both simple and extra-ordinary.
The ability to truly live. To exist in the now. To simply be.
Today we’re introducing a teammate for the ages.
A companion on your journey forward.
Something to challenge you, grow your muscles, and at the same time develop with you.
Something where as you go deeper, the work challenges you on a deeper level.
Whatever you need from each day, it matches exactly.
A powerful new practice for our instrument section that will take you from your Daily Body into your Acting Instrument, from rules to permissions, from the weight of expectation to the wonder of possibility, from holding onto protection… to being caught by the moment.
It’s time to roar into the first part of our EA Physical Practice.
