VEA is not just a brand name to us. It is our entire approach.
Most exercise instruction is a list of what to do next. That works, in the sense that the hour passes and you’ve moved. What it doesn’t give you is a way of thinking that you can bring to an exercise nobody has shown you yet.
The three steps
V, for Visualise
Picture the movement before it starts, and settle your breath and your alignment. It sounds soft and it really isn’t. Running a movement through your mind first genuinely improves how well you do it, and it stops the first repetition being the practice one.
E, for Engage
Find your centre, your posture and your control before the carriage moves at all. Most repetitions that go astray are lost right here, because the position was never set in the first place.
A, for Action
Move with confidence, precision and purpose. Because the first two steps are done, the movement can be committed rather than tentative.
What that means in the room
You’ll hear which muscle should be doing the work, where your ribs want to be, and what an exercise is actually for. If that’s the thing you’ve been missing, you’ll love it here.
