BETWEEN THE BEATS

Hello,

​

One “fun fact” about us both is that neither of us like an early morning. 

 

This is kind of surprising given how many years we’ve both taught early morning classes: you’d be very surprised at how many alarms we have to set (at least 3) and how many coffees (also 3) we have to drink before either of us are even vaguely human. 

Our inspiration - the 7am RB Crew. These people are our heroes - not only do they get up for class on the regs, but they do it with zero amount of fuss and bother (i.e. considerably less than either of us) and they actually do stuff, like real stuff. 75 minutes of drills, suns, and whatever direction they walk into on the day. And often they smile. 

 

Because their well-kept secret is that there is something really special about practicising before the rest of the world wakes up and the emails start; something really special about watching the sun rise over London (or whatever city they’re practising in); and something really special about taking time for themselves at the beginning of the day. 

Whereas an evening practice might be seen as curative - the morning practice is preventative - it provides the space to work out who you want to be and how you want to act for the rest of the day. 

 

Whether you’re in the room or online, this is an ode to our 7am RB crew - you are genuinely our inspiration and we hope we can be like you when we grow up. And if you have any tips about how we can be more like you…email us urgently.
