weMove Podcast

The nature of the weMove podcasts are to create a space where our guests feel comfortable to talk about the drivers behind their practice and purpose, because the steps leading up to the results are where the lessons live. This episode we talk with Kat Pither, entrepreneur and founder of the Yogi Bare brand about her recovery from addiction and eating disorder, leading to her discovery of yoga and from there a greater connection with her self and her strength leading to the creation of Yogi Bare, democratising the yoga mat with no compromise to quality, performance and purpose.

Nutrition and being healthy is often seen as a mine field when in fact it is a journey of discovery. Trends and fads of the latest super food come and they go, leaving us confused as to whether it is still good for us. As we explore with nutritionist/nutritional therapist Karen Newby (founder of @alchemysuperblends) when we understand that the fundamental principles combined with our individual make up our health can become an ever increasing experience of a superior state of wellbeing.

How do you discover movement? How do you get started with this movement world? A question we are regularly asked, and our response is to simply, begin. In this weeks episode we are in conversation with Mills, founder of creative agency UsTwo, UsTwo Adventure and the hit game Monument Valley, and who has done just that, with both feet first.

From leading the charge of building a business and the concept of success, Mills has begun on the journey to good health with the same excitement and drive as at the beginning of UsTwo. Like a pinball machine we cover ground from mental health, animal flow, ultra running and relationships with others when we go through a process of change and development.

Full of energy from start to finish, this is a call to those who want to get going with a new phase of their journey.

What can nature teach us about movement, training and our health? Pretty much everything we need, yet we live in a man made environment surrounded by barriers which keep us at a distance from the environment which makes us truly thrive. This weeks episode we spend talking to Tony Riddle aka The Natural Lifestylist. Tony has transcended his former years as a personal trainer, pilates instructor, barefoot running advocate and is now bringing a connected approach to training, health and longevity by bringing his clients closer to their biological norms, harmonising the modern lifestyle with a more natural approach to living and moving. Tony and his family are based in London and share many similarities with other proponents of the natural movement culture which is growing around the world such as Erwan Le Corre, Lee Saxby, and many others. We cover a fair bit of ground in this episode from health, child development, plant medicine, posture, pilates and running form to his new project advising property developers on how to integrate nature with working environments to create a more harmonious balance of the urban world and nature. There are some real gems throughout which is best started with the question to you “how many hours have you spent outside today?”.

This weeks episode is something a little different. Charlie Dark turns the mics on the founders of weMove, James & Chris. They talk about their previous lives running record labels and fashion brands to what made them decide to turn their backs and pursue something that back then was happening on the fringes and is now becoming more in the spotlight, that thing being movement. Connecting a community that is looking for a new way to express themselves without being labelled as one thing or another. Charlie is always a great host and conversationalist, inquisitive and passionate about what makes people tick Enjoy the show.

Today on the show we are in conversation with the GB Snowsports team, strength, conditioning and performance coach Rich Husseiny. Rich takes us through his journey from finding his feet in this twenties, to coaching Olympic teams whilst adjusting to his mothers terminal cancer condition and his facing the death of someone so close. Whilst we culturally shy away from this inevitable end, Rich dealt with the grief head on, leading him to discover amongst other things the concept of Flow, which is the elusive hyper focussed mental state where senses of time and space are lost. A feeling that his extreme sports athletes experience regularly.

Paleta Calm Quality is a dance Maverick who caught our attention in the Nike x FKA Twigs video. On screen Paleta has a mystery and an innate sense of movement. The podcast delved behind the moves and took us on a journey of healing disease within the body, facing fears and connecting with the mind and bodies inbuikt guidance system called intuition. Each episode takes the ideas and concepts to a new level and with Paleta we have just gone somewhere we haven't been before.
