'Perspectives' on Movement Practice
Practice inevitably affects perspective, and perspective the practice in return.
In this way 'Movement Practice' & 'Movement Perspective' are intrinsically linked.
In the optimal relationship, they affect one another, growing together in tandem.
When Practice lack Perspective, we lacks the "what & why" of what we do.
When Perspective lacks Practice, we speak with hypotheticals & empty words.
When we are living dynamically, both are in constant flux, change, and flow.
Grow the two together - as two side of the same coin -
let them affect & be affected,
and Body/Mind will grow in harmony.
