The Ecosomatics Podcast

In this episode I talk with Adrian Bejan.

Adrian Bejan received the Benjamin Franklin Medal for "Thermodynamics and constructal theory," which predicts natural design and its evolution in engineering, scientific, and social systems.

His degrees are from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (B.S.1971, M.S.1972, Ph.D.1975). At Duke University, he is the J.A. Jones Distinguished Professor. He authored 30 books and 650 peer-refereed journal articles, and was awarded 18 honorary doctorates from universities in 11 countries.

Professor Bejan’s impact on thermal sciences is highlighted by his original methods of theory, modeling, analysis and design that today are associated with his name: entropy generation minimization, scale analysis, temperature-heat diagram, intersection of asymptotes, constructal law, design and evolution in nature.

In this episode I talk with Caitlin Pontrella, the executive director of Parkour Visions. In addition to her role in the organization we talk about her broader focus on designing spaces that create more opportunities for movement and what that means for our culture at large.

In this episode I chat with Mark Walsh about the many faces of embodiment, its consequences for our day-to-day lives, and including the very real dangers of dis-embodiment.

Mark is a wealth of knowledge on the cross-cultural dynamics of embodiment, and I'm sure you'll get a lot from this episode.

Why does it take us so long to be ourselves?

How can a movement practice bring us a deeper understanding of how we engage in the world around us?

In this episode I talk with Jozef Frucek, co-founder of Fighting Monkey practice, about the big questions that link movement and life. Along the way we explore communication and creativity, autonomy and play, and much more.

This is a favorite of mine, and I hope you learn as much from this conversation as I did.

In this episode I meet with Chantill Lopez and James Crader of the Thinking Pilates Podcast to discuss the client-centered approach to training. What happens when we question our own expectations and standards as professionals? What’s possible when we deeply involve the person with the process? We explore all his and more in this episode.

I sit down with Dr. Jeff Haller to discuss The Feldenkrais Method. Jeff shows us how it's more than a remedy for stiff hips and back pain. It's fundamentally a way to harness the creative potential of the human organism and restore our emotional dignity. This is a powerful conversation you don't want to miss.
