The body is constantly creating and modifying structure through information and energy. The mind is also constantly updating and modifying behavioural patterns. Again, through information and energy. The information is the context of the environment, and our state. We move the “energy” through movement, breath and thought, or “intent.” The type of state we are...

It’s easy to teach the technicalities of the process, the movement, the sport, or the profession. It’s hard to teach people to get on the court and play the game and truly care. This is as true on the output side as it is on the restorative side. It’s easy to teach the method of...

Nobody has exceptional “talent” as we think about it. When we look across and see high performers, we often use a label like “talented” to describe them.

Most people have become so afraid of doing anything that could be outside of these lines, so afraid of drawing attention, that they do nothing. Even if it doesn’t feel right. This is a trap. To...

The art of relaxation – “Relaxare” – to “release.” Not just to band-aid the problem, but to let go. We know that when we move beyond tension, when we let go into relaxation, we recover faster, learn better, remember and connect more. But what if we can’t do it? What happens if we try, but...
