The Epic Workout has One Goal
To transform our notion of exercise towards wholeness, with awareness, for purpose. With a fresh mindset, deep motivation and lots of intent, we can channel our energies towards doing what we love in ways that fulfill us. In terms of exercise and training, we can wake up in the morning looking forward to our workout. We can relish the challenge, accept the nervousness, swallow our fears and get going strong.
The Epic Workout focuses on Strength, Movement and Awareness. We build strength by overcoming challenges. When we face the adventure, step forward into challenge and overcome, we develop our strength of body and character.
We develop movement when we practice moving in new ways, whether that be dance, yoga, athletics, martial arts or innovative movement patterns. With new capacity and ability defined by skills, flexibility, conditioning and creativity, we can take on more of life’s challenges with greater ease.
We cultivate awareness when we shift attention to our experience. Yogis do this with breath and sensation, and in the Epic Workout it is similar, but breath and sensation are on a different level. We learn to own our bodies and minds by better listening to their communications. We play the game of life together, and thus, transform.
About Epic Movement
Three principles make an Epic. With these in mind, you can update your own exercise program, yoga practice, or martial or dance form to provide Epic challenges.
Epic Principles
I. Movement Matters: focus on the essence of multi-dimensional, multi-use movement found throughout life
II. Mindful Intensity: build intuitive skill with mindful intensity, repetition and rhythm
III. Movement as your Mirror: take our mind-body connection seriously and use movement purposefully to discover in yourself what there is to discover
When you apply these principles, you are using exercise to nourish and support your own hero’s journey.
