Why We Need to Get Primal:

In today’s modern life too many of us find ourselves doing the same things day in day out, using very few movements, which has left us stiff with restrictions in the way we move. Whether we are sitting at a desk or driving in a car for hours every day, our bodies pay the price. This lack of movement or lack of variety of movement creates weakness or instability throughout the body.

Even for those of us who exercise regularly, we tend to do simple pattern moves like squats or bench presses. These exercises are great compound movements, but offer little as far as variety and our bodies can quickly adapt and become conditioned to movements.

When You Start Moving Primally:

At first you may notice that you have limitations in balance, strength and endurance, especially wrist strength. This is normal, how often do you crawl around like a baby these days?

When you were a baby you used these movements to survey the area around you and to strengthen your body. Primal movements help strengthen the body by working on all fours to activate all major points of stability. Which doesn’t only strengthen, but encourages an increase in joint range of motion, coordination, and flexibility while keeping the whole body in motion.

The full body movements will increase your heart rate, rev up the nervous system, challenge the mind and increase awareness of how your body moves through space. This is mindful muscle - it will keep you in the moment and grounded.

No equipment is required, but you challenge yourself by adding weighted clothing or other adds for extra resistance. Over all, itss accessible and safe for men and women of all abilities, you may just need to build up gradually, especially if you have movement restrictions, weakness or instability.

So throw your hands in the air, roar like a tiger, and let the primal surge and unleash that inner animal.

3 Major Elements of a PrimalSurge class :

Mobility preparation - We use our basic warm-ups and basic movements from our PrimalSurge and MoveAlpha classes, so we get clear picture of the movement and range of motion status of the client or clients.

Injury prevention - We shake, rattle, roll, and rock to loosen the body, creating space and then lightly loading the mobilized areas.

Torso stability and coordination  - Before crawling, we work on position stability and transitioning the body together, starting to use the body as one unit. With slow, mindful movements we are creating more awareness of upper and lower body connection.
