He loves learning how motion can create a better human experience and, in particular, he appreciates Animal Flow for the incredible people that practice it. “Watching people grow in their practice and develop is fantastic! I’m always trying to get better remembering this myself – the place is here, the time is now.  A journey of 1000 miles begins with one step. It’s amazing to see and experience improvement over time, so just start where you can. There is power in regression!”
