What is the secret to this modest movement, which begins so effortlessly and then evolves into such a formidable force? Your first steps on the path toward finding an answer to this question are taken during the course of this book. AniMotion is so much more than just another fitness program. On the contrary, it involves familiar characteristics of the four animals bear, crane, tiger and snake to uncover unforeseen potential. These exercises combine the actuation of movements practiced in both Eastern and Western cultures. Increased levels of fitness, weight loss or more eye-catching figure? Almost certainly. Yet AniMotion does not conform to the established ideals of a typical fitness program. Rather, these four animals accompany us on a challenging journey to find meaning in age old questions, to reveal untapped awareness and maybe even to develop new skills. AniMotion is a discipline for both body and soul and is an ideal starting point towards self-knowledge and personal responsibility. Or alternatively, it will just turn out to be a whole lot of fun. It´s a promise!
