In our martial arts & movement classes, we teach kids and adults alike how to find their River by connecting their 3 B’s: Body, Breath and Brain.
BODY
Proper body alignment provides the structure and fluidity to be both strong and calm.
BREATH
Breathing techniques combat stress and anxiety while feeling focused, relaxed, and present.
BRAIN
Focusing on the task at hand and coaching yourself to do your personal best and not give up.
