Aesthetic Athleticism

I love athleticism
of any species
and aesthetic.

Here, with heart, Stacy Westfall and Whizards Baby Doll aka"Roxy"

Contradictory Teaching & Active-Passive












My teaching is contradictory.

I teach a language that is kinesthetic, not merely intellectual
... though I can give you the reasons why as well as how.

I teach to your body while your mind fights.

I teach to your mind while your body fights.

I also teach to your heart, gut, imagination, gumption,intuition or "inner voice".

You will learn to work actively and passively at the same time.

You will learn to make your own self corrections in movement & repose habits.

You learn to slow down before you going fast ... perhaps faster than you did before.
You re-learn smoothness, gentleness and fierceness.

Perhaps a more accurate, more powerful tennis stroke, perhaps better muscle firing uphill on the bike, perhaps a better way to get out of sleep so as not to re-injure from previous injury or surgery. Your swim stroke, volleyball stroke, golf swing and batting swing. Your dancing, sexing, walking or desk sitting, your picking up groceries or a child.

I help you move through Daily Life with greater ease, energy, confidence and ... humor!

I teach you to do your own 50,000 mile check ups and tune ups for a lifetime enjoyment of your body.

We work with left/right brain integration.

We work with calming the nervous system's firings to align them.


We work to play.
