The Peaceful Body and The Pain Free Artist^BF

Are you an artist who is physically or psychologically in pain when you are working or performing? Often artists are just coming into their own when their bodies quit on them. And that is a loss to themselves, and a loss to us. There is a way of relating to yourself, your tools, and your instruments in accordance with your human design. This greatly reduces and often eliminates pain. Less pain means more pleasure and better results.

There is a difference between working hard and working well, between projecting and being where you are, fully and powerfully. We at the Movement School are also artists, and we have worked with artists all over the world for many years, to their great delight. You don’t have to work or play in pain. It is optional.
