Learning to inhibit unwanted contractions of muscles that function without, or in spite of, our will, is the main task in coordinated action.

My purpose is to allow people to move closer to actually being creatures of free choice, to genuinely reflect individual creativity and emotion, freeing the body of habitual tensions and wired-patterns of behaviour so that it may respond without inhibition to do what the person wants.

We have more experience of movement and more capacity for it than of feeling and thought... We know much more about movement than we do about anger, love, envy or even thought. It is relatively easy to learn to recognize the quality of movement than the quality of other factors.

In order to recognize small changes in effort, the effort itself must first be reduced. More delicate and improved control of movement is possible only through the increase of sensitivity, through a greater ability to sense differences.

Make the impossible possible, the possible easy, the easy elegant.

Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.
