Are you up for increasing your tolerance for… YOU? What if you stopped having to manage what you were feeling, and all the crap in your head just stopped? What if self-doubt, nervousness, fear, or anxiety became creative fuel? Join Josh Pais for a playful, sweaty, heart-opening exploration into the practice of Committed Impulse. We’ll move, we’ll play, and shake off layers of resistance that keep us small.
Raised by a physicist who worked with Einstein and a poet-painter mother, Josh Pais cracked the code on creative freedom and presence. You’ve seen him for years in shows like The Dropout, A Man in Full, SVU, High Maintenance, Ray Donovan, countless award-winning movies—and yeah, he was Raphael in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
Coming this fall: Josh’s new book, Lose Your Mind: The Path to Creative Invincibility, will be published by Penguin Random House and Hay House on September 30, 2025. Introducing a method so powerful it rewires how you show up under pressure. Becoming creatively invincible will radically shift how you live, breathe, see, feel, work, and relate to the world. And yes—you’ll seriously increase how much fun you have, day in and day out.
Get ready to elevate your Summer Fridays! Join us for the perfect way to kick off your weekend with good vibes and great company. Each Friday in August, we’ll feature a rotating lineup of inspiring instructors, offering sessions that are open to all skill levels. Don’t miss this season’s highlight – and make sure to reserve your spot early!
