The Epic Workout is concerned with going beyond mainstream exercise so that participants, teachers, trainers, movers and shakers can get more out of exercise. We are currently researching the role movement practices makes in our lives in ways not normally measured by modern science. For more details on how the world’s many movement practices actually make a difference in our lives beyond modifying muscle and fat content, visit the page for the graduate study work by Beth and Alex Iglecia.

How do you appreciate a piece of art that grabs you? What does it take?

Doesn’t it take concentration? Attention? Time? Curiosity and a certain intensity?
At the very least it takes the willingness to be there with the artwork and to explore it from many angles. When we’re with a gorgeous painting, we want to take it in as it is. The goal, you might say, is to know what’s really there.

Amazingly the process is much the same with our body. By taking the time to move and the curiosity to explore that movement with a certain intensity from the inside, the outside, from above and below, don’t you think that would transform you and how you held yourself? Don’t you think your perception of your own body, your own self, would grow by leaps and bounds?
