The Eight Conditions

Not eight new ideas to learn. Eight relationships already present in an ordinary life — in the body, in relationship, in the way we move through a day.

GravityTrust. Leaning into what you can’t fully see.
IntegrityWholeness. Arriving completely.
JoyVitality. The rhythm of being alive.
HarmonyRelationship. Nothing exists alone.
FreedomCompletion. Letting what’s moving keep moving.
NowPresence. Where power is available.
ActionParticipation made visible. Life moving once nothing is in the way.

Armando Hart

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.

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.
