My initial background was built around functional fitness and corrective exercise, and while I still draw significantly on this background, over the years I have gradually become more and more influenced by an extensive study and practice of Eastern methodologies such as yoga, meditation, and qigong. I utilize all of these resources to create a well-rounded approach that I call Non-Resistance Training (NRT). Modern exercise tends to be very forceful in nature, which is much harder on the body and usually leads to tension (both physical and mental) and unnecessary wear and tear. NRT is about tuning into your body and moving in more natural, less rigid ways. Nature always follows the path of least resistance, and this is the essence of NRT practice.
