Benefits
Internal strength: a physical & mental capacity truly greater than the sum of your parts, sourced from connection, compassion, support and timing. In a word: integration.
Smarter, safer movement: A context of specificity and rigor does more for both the efficiency and pleasure of movement than brute force ever could. Once you develop your kinaesthetic superpowers—your antennae for action, prediction, safety and reversibility—you’ll wonder how you got along without them.
Actual problem solving: a description of difficulty is mostly words. The BOK course takes you deep inside the space between intention and action, where the words can’t reach. Awareness Through Movement doesn’t only help you generate insight, it gets you to apply it.
Unafraid to test: most thinking, both positive and negative is aspirational. It “thinks about” your actions, ruminating, labelling or dissasociating, instead of accurately measuring the moment. It’s a buggy feature of the brain, and you can choose something better. Soon, you’ll move and improve from the actual space where undeniable gains are created.
