I’M DARRYL EDWARDS, AND I WANT YOU TO PLAY.

I Play.

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

I quit sedentary many years ago and transformed my health through movement. “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. I’ve opened my mind to exploring countless new ideas, written books, 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 how my life has changed.

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

*Animal Moves* is an Amazon best-selling book that utilises the functional and primal movements of the animal kingdom to have you fitter, stronger and healthier in no time.

Steve Hammock

Sebestien Foucan

“Darryl's Primal Play is amazing and captured my imagination. I'm an explorer and the curiosity we had has children was regained. This was efficient movement and my body told me this was good for me.”

“Darryl’s program reconnects you with the innate love of physical activity, social connection, and fun in the ways nature designed.”

Lynne Clark

Yoga Teacher, UK

“I first came across Darryl when looking for help with a chronic health condition. Non-judgemental, supportive and collaborative in his approach, he created an individualised program incorporating nutrition, lifestyle and movement.

As a movement coach Darryl is truly inspiring. With his wealth of knowledge, encouragement, support and ability to offer the fun as well as the challenge he has reignited a long lost joy in movement and the array of benefits, both mental and physical, that this brings.

Inspiring me to be the best that I can be, I cannot thank him enough for the positive effect that working with him continues to have on my quality of life.”

Scott Wright

“The Animal Moves book is a series of full body workouts that work a lot of the stabilisation muscles often left out by other programmes. Enjoyable and challenging with a real focus on fun. We would all do well to incorporate these moves into our day to day.”

Polina Sayess MD

Physician, NH, USA

“As a medical doctor, I regularly discuss physical activity with my patients. I often recommend the Primal Play website, Animal Moves book and cards as a well rounded program that covers strength, balance, stamina and speed. It is fun to do for the whole family.”

It is also very beneficial for people who experience back pain or knee pain. I cannot recommend this restorative approach highly enough as I have experienced the benefits myself by doing it!

"Primal Play is about living more naturally, how to move more fully, using your whole body and all your capacities in practical and fun ways out in the real world. And it's really challenging! It’s helped me to incorporate more fun into my life.”
