The modern world places extraordinary demands on both individuals and organizations: complexity, crushing workloads, sedentary living, chronic stress and fragmented attention reduce our performance, our health and our happiness. Unfortunately, attempts to manage this challenge have been fragmented; we address one problem at a time, but rarely do we provide systemic, whole-life solutions.
Exuberant Animal offers integrated, transformational training for performance and health. Our training and publications are ideal for performance-oriented individuals and organizations seeking a comprehensive strategy for effectiveness in the modern world.
The Exuberant Animal philosophy is animated by a set of overlapping themes:
 |
Engagement, full-participation and high-performance. In martial art culture, this quality is known as zanshin. |
 |
Robust physicality, functional movement training, embodied cognition, social games and play. |
 |
A holistic perspective that includes, not only mind, body and spirit, but also essential elements of community and nature. |
 |
A growth orientation; the belief that minds, bodies and behaviors can continue to progress through training and practice. |
