Temazcal • Life In Motion
A space for remembrance, movement, healing, brotherhood, and reconnection to the medicine we already carry within.
Who I Am
My name is Armando Hart. I am a first generation Mexican American born from Purepecha ancestry. My parents immigrated from La Angostura, Michoacán carrying with them resilience, culture, sacrifice, and medicine.
My journey began through movement. I became a sprinter, represented Mexico internationally, competed at the highest levels of track and field, and later dedicated my life to coaching athletes from youth to Olympic and professional levels.
Over the years I realized that movement was always teaching something deeper than physical performance. It was teaching awareness. Presence. Integrity. Courage. Rhythm. Commitment. Breath. Relationship to self.
Through my own life experiences, personal evolution, fasting, breathwork, fatherhood, ceremony, and years of inner work, I began remembering parts of myself that had been buried underneath conditioning and survival.
The temazcal became a powerful part of that remembrance.
I do not call myself a shaman. I simply carry my own medicine through lived experience, presence, and intention. My purpose is to hold space with integrity and share what has genuinely helped me reconnect to who I truly am.
Life In Motion
Through decades of coaching and personal exploration, I developed an 8 principle approach to movement and life called Life In Motion.
These principles were originally developed through sprint mechanics and optimum forward movement, but over time I realized they mirror the deeper movements of life itself.
I have applied these principles with Olympic athletes, professional athletes, students, men’s groups, and individuals seeking greater alignment within themselves.
Today these principles continue to guide the work I share through ceremony, movement, mentorship, and community.
The 8 Principles
These principles apply not only to physical movement but to the way we move through life.
Ground
Put your foot down. Commit fully to the direction you are choosing.
Gravity
Learn to fall forward with trust instead of resisting movement.
Integrity
Move as a whole being. Align your actions with your truth.
Joy
There is power in lightness, rhythm, laughter, and aliveness.
Harmony
Life moves in cycles. Healing comes when we return to balance.
Freedom
Expand into your full range physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Now
The present moment is where breath, awareness, and transformation exist.
Action
Move with inspiration and embody what you have learned.
The Temazcal
The temazcal is a space of purification, prayer, reflection, release, and remembrance.
Together with my wife and son, we help tend this sacred space with humility, intention, and respect for the traditions and teachings that continue to guide us.
My wife works alongside me in ceremony and brings her own healing presence into the space. Our son also participates as an Aguilita del Fuego, helping care for the fire and learning the value of service, discipline, and community.
For us, the temazcal is not performance. It is prayer in motion. It is a return to the heart. A return to the body. A return to connection.
