Welcome Back!
We hope you’ve had a wonderful summer, and that you’re as excited as we are to begin a new year at Stillness Academy!
Classes resume on Monday, August 3rd, and will follow the schedule where we left off before summer break: regular gear on Mondays, pool gear on Wednesdays.
Academy training tends to follow the seasons, and this is the season of growth spurts. The kids are in a special window where neuromuscular adaptations happen fast in a way that gets harder to build later. More intense training will give surging hormones something useful to do, and creates a sort of physiological bank account that the Neos will draw from in the decades to come. I’m very excited about the year ahead!
Along similar lines, our adult training will also lean into the summer season, and we’ll spend some more time outside on Mondays. Leave your gi at home this month. Bring your running shoes! (That’s the plan at least. If the Neo classes and heat that accompany them prove draining for the instructor, the plan may shift indoors.)
