    • Ep. 12 - Everything You Need to Know About Mobility (Part 1)

      In this exciting episode, we delve into the vast world of mobility, exploring its various facets and importance in movement. Drawing from my extensive training and expertise, I share insights and knowledge on this essential aspect of the physical body.

      We begin by defining mobility and understanding how it differs from flexibility. While flexibility refers to the passive range of motion, mobility encompasses the ability to actively move through a range of motion with control and stability.

      Next, we discuss the distinction between passive and active modalities, highlighting the benefits of both approaches and their roles in enhancing mobility. We then touch upon the concept of Bioflow, addressing the tendency to separate different elements of our physicality and emphasising the interconnectedness of our body's systems.

      A crucial part of our discussion is the role of the nervous system in mobility. By building confidence near our end range of motion, we can improve our mobility and overall movement capabilities. Lastly, we examine joint-focused mobility versus movement-focused mobility, revealing the advantages of each approach and their contributions to a well-rounded movement practice.

      Join us on this insightful journey as we unravel the intricacies of mobility, and don't forget to subscribe to the waiting list for my Online Movement School to unlock a world of movement knowledge and guidance.

    • Ep. 11 - Introducing the Online Movement School: Autonomy, Transformation, and Self-Discovery in Your Movement Practice

      In this episode, we dive into an exiting project of mine, the Online Movement School, which is set to launch at the beginning of May. The school aims to provide students with the tools and knowledge needed for their self-discovery and personal transformation through a movement practice.

      We discuss:
      - The overarching goal of the Online Movement School and the focus on cultivating autonomy in one's own movement practice.
      - How the school's curriculum is structured, with "mandatory" material for week-to-week programming and "optional" content for those who want to delve deeper.
      - An introduction to what a Movement Practice is and its importance in human development.
      - The week-to-week structure of the school, including three movement practice sessions and educational material to deepen understanding.
      - A sneak peek into some of the initial projects and topics explored in the Online Movement School, such as cartwheels and acrobatics, long legs and leg strength, spine work, breathing mechanics, and psychological exercises in awareness.
      Join us on this journey of transformation and self-discovery through a movement practice. Don't miss out on the launch of the Online Movement School at the start of May!

      In this episode I discuss my history and viewpoint on breathing and how it has evolved massively over the years. I then go into some of the concrete things we know about breathing in terms of the mechanics, physiology and biochemistry of this process. This episode will lay a foundation for future episodes where we will dive deeper into this potentially low hanging fruit in your physical practice and training.
