Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast!

Today we’re joined by Bren Veziroglu, former Ido Portal student and founder of The Movement Cult, to talk about training to become a true movement generalist.

Bren has a strong background in strength training, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, hand balancing, and improvisation-based contemporary dance, and today we’ll be discussing a variety of topics around these disciplines as well as sharing insights around coaching, motor learning, and training optimization.

Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast!

Today we’ve got Simon Thakur joining us again to talk about some of the deeper aspects of movement practice.

How do we adapt our practice as we age? What is the relationship between discipline and culture? How can the practice of movement nourish more than just our physical bodies, and bring us into deeper accord with the sacred?

And those are just a few of the topics we’ll be exploring, so I hope you’ll join us for this fascinating conversation. If you enjoy the show, please be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends.

Hey YouTube, and welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast!

This year has been as busy as it’s been exciting.

Between running the Embodied Movement Summit, three seasonal retreats, taking part in an upcoming documentary about John Vervaeke, and building a brand new online course and members area, it has left little room to focus on the podcast.

The show will be getting back to a regular schedule soon, but today I wanted to just drop in, say hi and share an awesome conversation I had with writer, critic, and podcast host Damien Walter!

I had a wonderful time talking with Damien about our views on meaning, nihilism, fiction and storytelling, and I hope to have him on the show again in the future.

If you enjoy the conversation, be sure to leave a like, comment, and subscribe if you haven’t yet.

Your support means the world to us! Thanks a lot and enjoy the show!

The Embodied Movement Summit is going live this month, January 24-28, and today on the podcast we are joined by one of the keynote speakers of this amazing event, our good friend Sebastien Foucan!

If you’d like to check out his presentation, or any of the 27+ others we have lined up from top professionals in the fields of Movement, Mindfulness, Community and Nature Connection, hit the link to get signed up!

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Seb was among the pioneers of parkour in Paris in the 1980s.

He was an introverted and unconfident child but liked to go out and explore the environment close to where he lived. As a teenager who struggled at school and had difficulties at home, climbing, jumping, running, playing and interacting with the landscape became an escape for him and his friends.

He then developed a love for natural movement. The passion and dedication for his craft led him to be invited to participate in several high profile performance roles with James Bond in Casino Royale, Madonna, Nike and K-swiss amongst others.

Today we’re talking about three of our biggest shared passions: Parkour, Martial Arts and Play. These things have shaped both of our lives to such a magnitude that we could probably devote an entire season to the topics and still just scratch the surface.

I had a wonderful time talking with Seb, and we will definitely have him on the show again in the future, so if you also enjoyed the conversation, leave a like, comment, and subscribe if you haven’t yet.

And again, don’t miss out on the Embodied Movement Summit where you can catch Sebastiens talk “Playfulness for Longevity and Vitality”.

During his presentation you’ll discover how you can reconnect with your sense of play to engage in a sustainable and rewarding practice, find out how to free yourself from fear and anxiety, and key into your body's innate, seasonal rhythms so you can adapt your practice and be your best self every day.

And that’s just one of the 27+ presentations you get access to by signing up. Here are a few more you won't want to miss:

John Vervaeke | “Why we need Movement and Mindfulness to Recover Lost Ways of Knowing and Solve the Meaning Crisis”

Kelly Starret | “Discover the Fundamental Tools for Management of Pain and Tissue Quality”

Nick Winkelman | “Understand the Power of Language in Coaching and Athletics”

Marlo Fisken | “Give Yourself Permission to Express and Serve Your Community Through Expression”

Today on the podcast we are joined by Rob Gray.

Rob is an associate professor in applied psychology at the University of Arizona State, and author of a new book called “How We Learn to Move”.

He’s one of the leading figures in understanding ecological dynamics in relation to motor control, and his Perception Action Podcast has been one of my best guides in really understanding motor learning theory. We’ll include a link below for you to check that out, but this conversation will actually be a really great place for you to start because we’ll go through a lot of the language which can be quite difficult to understand, and break it down to provide practical examples and ways to think about them.

We also get into where potential missing pieces of ecological dynamics are and how we can think about them in other ways to fill in the gaps.

I had a wonderful time talking with Rob, and hope to have him on the show again in the future, so if you also enjoyed the conversation, be sure to leave a like, comment, and subscribe if you haven’t yet.

Your support means the world to us! Thanks a lot and enjoy the show!
