Movement with Noor

In this Episode I sit down with Marquis Sanabrais.

Marquis is a Physical Therapist at FX Physical Therapy, a USA Weightlifting level 1 coach, and the founder of the Baltimore Journal Club.

In this episode I sit down with marquis to discuss Mentorship, Physical Therapy and how the environment a PT is in can affect their ability to treat their patients, When a PT should or should not use pain science to help their client understand pain, and the path which athletes can walk down if they want to start practicing olympic lifts.

Gary Grisham is a friend, a teacher, and a brother. 

Gary is a practitioner of many different forms of Martial Arts and Movement including Tong Soo Do, Budokon, Yoga, Locomotion, Jiu Jitsu among many more disciplines. Gary is currently traveling and teaching students the skills and techniques he has learned on his movement journey. Gary is a lover of fun and brings an opportunity for play wherever he goes. During the episode he characterizes himself as a "professional kid" which is a label I would be glad to have.

In this episode Gary and I discuss the intersection between Martial Arts and Yoga, and how these practices can be integrated into each other, and into our lives as a whole. I hope you enjoy this episode with my dear brother Gary.
