Primal Strength
Beast Mode With Brains
Primal Strength uses primal movement (rocking, rolling, and crawling) and energy medicine (Qigong) to unify the body-mind-spirit. Gentle movements based on Tai Chi are used to relax the nervous system. Then primal movements are used to re-connect every part of your body into a single, unified whole.
Intimate and insightful, this program gives students the opportunity to master their body in complex, highly coordinated ways.
In addition to basic developmental movements, more advanced crawling patterns are introduced, along with “carries”, “get ups” and other dynamic skills. These movements develop whole body integrated, efficiency, and power which transfers directly to real world activities. Unify you body into a elemental force of nature, so you can sprint, surf, fight, and climb like never before!

“Jonathan’s primal movements are a hidden gem for new mothers. It gives them the building blocks to reactivate their body in a way that is safe, intelligent, and freeing.
Thanks to Jonathan’s expertise and care, I’m stronger than I was before my pregnancy and can do a pull up for the first time!”

“JONATHAN HAS A MUCH BROADER HOLISTIC VIEW OF WELLNESS AND MOVEMENT, WHICH MAKES HIS SYSTEM TRULY UNIQUE.
I’VE LOST AND KEPT OFF 20 LBS FOR OVER 2 YEARS, AND RECORDED PERSONAL RECORDS AT 5 DIFFERENT RACE DISTANCES (5K, 4M, 5M, 10K, AND 15K) WITHIN MONTHS OF STARTING THE PRIMAL PRACTICE.
MY EMOTIONAL MOOD HAS EVENED OUT SIGNIFICANTLY. AND I HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF MY BODY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO EXERCISE AND FOOD. “
— PROF. JOE SALVATORE
“THE PRIMAL MOVEMENTS JONATHAN TAUGHT ME ARE UNLIKE ANY OTHER EXERCISE I’VE DONE BEFORE AND HELPED ME HEAL A LOWER BACK INJURY WITH SCIATIC NERVE PAIN.
AS A VETERAN RUNNER OF 30 YEARS AND GYM JUNKIE, I WAS SURPRISED TO FEEL WORKED OUT AFTER A PRIMAL SESSION BECAUSE THE MOVEMENTS ARE QUITE GENTLE.
I’M NOW RUNNING AGAIN AND TRAINING FOR A MARATHON. I NOW KNOW HOW TO GET A GREAT WORKOUT WITHOUT EXCESS INTENSITY. THE PRACTICE FEELS SO GOOD, LIKE UNTYING KNOTS IN MY MUSCLES! AND IT GIVES ME BETTER BODY AWARENESS, HELPS ME AVOID INJURIES, AND KEEPS ME RUNNING PAIN FREE.”
