Primal Play™ : a focus on fun, functional and challenging movement that can be adapted for all.

Hello, I’m Darryl Edwards, and I play.

Pretty simple little statement, “I play.” But it literally changed my life!

“I Play” took me from sitting for hours on end as a computer programmer, for investment banks around the world into a career helping people rediscover the joy of getting healthy through movement. “I Play” transformed me from a sedentary guy whose health was slipping away with each passing year, into someone whose body is ready for pretty much whatever I throw at it. “I Play” has taken me around the world, opened my mind to exploring countless new ideas, and changed how I feel when I open my eyes every day of my life.

You want to see the true power of play? Just look at me.

I’m Darryl. I’m happy. And I’m healthy. Because I play.
