Empower the mind, body, and spirit through physical activity. Move well. Live fully.

Cognitive intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ) are widely known, however physical intelligence (PQ) is essential for success in both. During the first three years of life, physical movement shapes the brain's circuitry, paving the way for learning and emotional regulation. Nurturing a child's movement early on helps build a foundation for self-agency, emotional resilience, academic achievement, and healthy relationships.
