FOUNDER OF BODY KNOWS
RICHARD ACEVES
Movement first.
Richard Aceves is a movement coach, educator, and facilitator. His background is in strength and conditioning, movement assessment, physical coaching, and coach development. The through-line is the same: what the body is doing, and what that makes possible.
Awareness, effort, behavior.
His work centers on the relationship between physical experience, awareness, effort, behavior, and change. Understanding a pattern is not the same as shifting it. The body has been adapting to a life. Richard’s interest is what happens when that adaptation is felt, rather than explained.
Not a performance.
He does not present as a guru, a motivational figure, a therapist, or a spiritual teacher. His role is to create, guide, and hold a challenging, thoughtful environment—one where people can step outside their usual patterns and experience themselves differently.
BODY KNOWS is not about being told what to feel. It is about creating the conditions to notice what is already there.
