An Animal-inspired Workout
Primal Strength entails Quadrupedal Movement Training (QMT), an animal-inspired workout that combines bodyweight conditioning, functional calisthenics, and balance drills to develop coordination and stability while building strength and flexibility.
Rooted in natural all-fours movement patterns, such as crawling, squatting, lunging, and rotational sequences, this practice engages the body’s connective tissue system to improve posture, structural symmetry, and overall movement efficiency.
Why Primal Strength?
A return to how your body was meant to move naturally.
Animal-inspired primal movement patterns will help you build a foundation of strength, mobility, and coordination that will carry over into your daily life.
Primal movements will improve joint health, posture, and injury resilience, making movement more efficient and pain-free.
Giovanni Tagliamonte
Deeply immersed in the ancient wisdom of Hatha Yoga, which he learned from serene Ashrams in the Bahamas and South India, Giovanni specializes in guiding diverse groups of students through transformative sessions. He incorporates the sacred practices of asana (poses), pranayama (breath work), and dhyana (meditation) to cultivate balance and harmony.
As a believer in yoga's true essence, Giovanni sees himself as a channel to share the divine power of this ancient practice. He emphasizes the benefits of each asana, from biological and physiological adaptations to enhanced mental clarity and emotional balance. Giovanni is committed to ongoing spiritual evolution, creating sacred spaces where individuals and groups can embark on profound journeys of self-discovery.
He approaches teaching with a compassionate heart and a reverence for the sacredness of each student's path.
