Vitalist

Vitalist is an applied evolutionary philosophy. We create portals into the present where we evolve.

Whether through hands on work, breath, movement, sound, flushing.

We're living through a moment of collective stress. Global uncertainty. Institutional breakdown. Social friction. The headlines are heavy. The future feels unclear. And our nervous systems are absorbing all of it. ⚡️🧠📺📰🏙️📣👨🏻‍💼

Most of us are walking around in chronic sympathetic dominance, our primitive brain taking over, seeing every headline and notification as a threat. We're stuck in the limbic system, operating from survival mode rather than our full human capacity. 🪫🪫🪫

⚖️💕 While we can't control the external chaos, we can shift our internal state. We can move from stress response into coherence, that state where mind, body, and nervous system come into alignment. Where the two hemispheres of the brain communicate. Where we drop out of beta into alpha. Where we remember we're not separate from the field of support that surrounds us.

🙏🏼 We've found that one of the most powerful gateways to coherence is gratitude. Gratitude creates a frequency, and it's the highest frequency we can attune to as human beings. This is where gratitude becomes technology, where your heart is the portal, the Earth is your support system, and presence is the key that opens the door. 🚪🗝️💫✨

77 seconds to shift your state. That's all it takes.

Our last EDGU training felt like a homecoming. There’s nothing quite like returning to the land where this practice first came alive. 🏔️🌊🌲✨

🌱 Every time we bring people into EDGU here, the land itself seems to rise up in support; the forest, the waters, the air carrying us deeper into the movement. It’s always humbling, always powerful, to stand in the birthplace of a practice that has carried so much healing through the years. 👣❤️🌿

📜 We’re honored to hold this lineage and to share it with others. EDGU has changed our lives, and every time we teach, we watch it change lives around us.

We’d love for you to experience it too. Our next EDGU Retreat is already on the horizon:

EDGU TRAINING
November 16th - 21st, 2025
at Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat and Conference Center

🗓️🖐 Over five days together, we’ll immerse in the heart of EDGU, its movements, breath, and stories, and experience a spinal reset that branches out into every part of our lives. Whether you feel called to deepen your own practice or to become a guide for others, this retreat is both initiation and homecoming.

Together, we will:

- Move through the foundational postures, breathwork, and transitions that make EDGU a lifelong practice of alignment.

- Explore the teaching pathways for those ready to carry EDGU into their communities.

- Bridge science and energy, understanding how EDGU stabilizes the nervous system and creates whole-brain coherence, while also stepping into the storytelling and energetic flow that bring the practice alive.

- Refine the subtleties of embodied cueing, smooth transitions, and the art of holding sacred space.

🙌🏼 This is a training and also a rite of passage into a growing family of practitioners dedicated to living and sharing EDGU as a pathway to vitality. Come retreat, repattern, and revitalize with us.

Strength begins in the brain. When your central nervous system is stressed, it’s wired for survival, not performance. 💪🏼🧠⚡️ Feat. Million Dollar Body and Jeffrey Williams

Dr. Chrane’s radical insight was clear: “We must speak to the brain.”

💫⚖️ Vitalism is the belief that we are energetic beings connected with everything universally, and that we have the wisdom within us to heal ourselves and come into balance.

🧬 To be vital is to live from a place of true alignment—where your body, mind, and spirit are connected to the natural flow of energy within you. 🌱🌌🌟

🧘🏻‍♂️ It’s about being present with your life force, allowing it to move freely through you in order to achieve your optimal human potential. 💯🚀

From the moment we breathe in, to the moment we breathe out, we are participating in a constant cycle of rebirth and renewal. Each breath is an invitation to realign with our deepest essence, to step into the present moment, and align with our vitality.

💫 Respire/Respiration/Respiriting is the foundation, the act of drawing in life itself. Each inhale connects us to the energy of the world around us, the life force that sustains us.

🔥 Inspire/Inspiration is the air filling our lungs, and the deeper awakening of purpose—the breath that ignites our inner fire, sparking creativity, clarity, and vitality.

🌱 Aspire/Aspiration is the breath of growth, the inhale that propels us toward what we desire. It’s the breath that fuels our vision, the aspiration to align with our highest potential.

🪷 Expire/Expiration though often seen as an end, is equally vital. Each exhale releases what no longer serves us, clearing space for renewal and transformation, making room for new beginnings.

These cycles are in constant motion, intertwined, shaping how we experience the flow of life. When we tune into the breath, we return to balance and alignment, reconnecting to the powerful energy that flows through us, guiding us to our highest potential.

Follow Vitalist for more exploration into the breath, movement, presence, and purpose.
