Unleash the Beast

Unleash the Beast is a holistic conditioning program that uses animal movements to reawaken primal modes of expression. Sessions are sixty minutes long and consist of ceremony, exercises, and games. In practice, participants are not asked to mimic Ben’s movements, but to find a way to express their true nature through the styles of different animals. In place of learned behaviors, primal instincts are used to set the body in motion. Because there is no set form, individuals of all ability levels may participate.

Four animals are accessed to represent a broad range of behavioral approaches, each appropriate in certain situations. For example, while the tiger moves with calculated, precise strides through vast terrains, the monkey jumps playfully through thick jungles with little regard for consequences. Likewise, potential benefits are wide-ranging. In addition to increased coordination, dexterity, endurance, and balance, participants may gain greater confidence, focus, and discipline. Combined, these qualities can enhance social interactions as well as internal states of being.
