Movers Mindset: Recent Episodes
Craig Constantine
Hello, I'm Craig Constantine. In this podcast I talk with movement enthusiasts to learn who they are, what they do, and why they do it. This podcast is part of the Movers Mindset project, which I started so I could explore movement's underlying motivations, and movement's fundamental place in society. Interested?
What does it take to stop avoiding pain and instead use it as a guide for rebuilding the body?
The same movements that caused injury can heal it when performed slowly, partially, and with intention.
"What we try to do is get people to understand that if you have pain, if you have a limitation, you don't stop doing the thing that hurt it. You do the thing that hurt it, slow, partial, light, take it down to the baby amount, the tolerable amount, and then start pushing it back up the scale. And by the time you can do it fast and heavy again, you're healed. Congratulations." ~ Sean Hannah (9:19)
The conversation explores why most people avoid the slow, deliberate work required to truly rehabilitate injuries rather than just return to basic function. The distinction between physical therapy (designed for baseline recovery) and full joint remodeling (a months-to-years process typically reserved for elite athletes) forms the foundation of the discussion. The key insight is that healing requires doing the same movements that caused injury—but slower, lighter, and more partial—rather than avoiding them entirely.
Pain emerges as a multifaceted phenomenon with three distinct layers: actual tissue damage, neuropathic pain (trauma responses encoded in nerves and fascia), and centralized pain (psychological amplification based on beliefs and language). The conversation addresses how someone might present with a knee problem but actually need a full head-to-toe biomechanical remodel, with the knee simply being where the dysfunction surfaces most visibly. The discussion also touches on the origins of the nickname "Seanobi" (an Irish ninja wordplay), the value of intuitive three-dimensional movement versus linear athletic training, and the importance of having something worth playing for as the motivational spark that makes the difficult rehabilitation process possible.
Takeaways
Remodeling versus physical therapy — Physical therapy aims for basic function, but returning to athletic capability requires a separate, longer process called remodeling that most people don't know exists.
The spark — Without something you love doing that's disappearing or already gone, you won't sustain the slow, frustrating work of rehabilitation.
Same movements, different parameters — Healing doesn't require new exercises; it uses the same movements that caused injury, performed slower, lighter, and more partially.
Three layers of pain — Pain includes actual tissue damage, neuropathic responses stored in nerves and fascia, and psychological amplification based on perception and language.
Language affects pain signaling — The words used to describe pain directly influence how much pain is felt; changing the narrative can dampen signaling and allow greater loading.
The blowout point — A presenting injury like a knee problem is often just where a full-body biomechanical imbalance surfaces most visibly.
Tissue-specific protocols — Pace, load, and angle can be adjusted to target specific tissues: nerve and fascia respond to different parameters than muscle and bone.
Guarding responses — Much of chronic pain isn't damage but protective contractions and nerve issues that require precise loading to release.
Threading the needle — Effective rehabilitation requires enough stress to trigger healing responses without crossing the threshold into new damage.
Intuitive versus linear training — Three-dimensional, intuitive movement serves rehabilitation and durability, while linear athletic training like Olympic lifting builds speed and power for sport.
The dial metaphor — Training exists on a spectrum from slow, rehabilitative, three-dimensional work to fast, linear, athletic work, and the dial can be adjusted based on daily capacity.
Becoming your own maintenance mechanic — The goal of guided rehabilitation is independence—learning to address pain and maintain the body without ongoing professional help.

What happens when you stop trying so hard and learn to find power through subtraction rather than addition?
Wing Chun training in a Hong Kong living room involves hours of standing still with no sparring, forcing practitioners to confront inner demons and abandon Western goal-seeking mentality.
"I'll tell you, Craig, this was the hardest thing at that time that I had to go through, both physically and mentally, because […] it's just so difficult, you know, standing still there, not moving. It's just so difficult! All these inner demons start to come up. You start thinking, and you know, there's nowhere to hide." ~ Nima King (5:17)
Nima King describes his journey from training as a teenaged bouncer in Sydney, to becoming a student of Grandmaster Chu in Hong Kong, where his expectations of intense sparring and rooftop battles were replaced by hours of standing practice in a small living room. The training focused on empty hand forms rather than fighting techniques, creating a physically and mentally challenging experience where inner demons surfaced and there was nowhere to hide. Grandmaster Chu provided hands-on guidance through tactile cues, manipulating posture and stance to help students release tension points gradually rather than through sudden breakthrough moments. The practice required abandoning the Western mindset of conceptualization and goal-seeking in favor of embodied experience, with Nima's teacher eventually banning him from asking questions to force this transition.
The conversation explores how martial arts principles apply to modern life, including parenting and professional goals. Nima discusses the challenge of not trying too hard despite his natural inclination toward the mentality of pushing through pain and injury. The practice teaches that letting go of control represents a powerful act rather than laziness or apathy, and that vulnerability challenges conventional masculine ideals of strength through aggression. Grandmaster Chu exemplified this power through humility, always bowing lower and greeting students with warmth rather than displays of dominance. The art becomes about subtraction rather than accumulation, finding ways to achieve goals with less effort by allowing things to happen rather than forcing them.
Takeaways
Art of subtraction — The practice centers on removing tension and thinking rather than accumulating more techniques and knowledge.
Embodied learning versus intellectual understanding — True martial arts mastery requires moving beyond conceptualization and goal-seeking to direct physical experience.
Standing practice — Hours of stationary training in Wing Chun forms create confrontation with inner demons and reveal hidden tension points.
Power through vulnerability — Real strength comes from humility and openness rather than aggression and displays of dominance.
Letting go of control — Releasing the illusion of control represents a powerful and necessary practice in both martial arts and daily life.
Western versus Eastern training approaches — The goal-oriented Western mindset conflicts with traditional Chinese martial arts teaching methods that resist curriculum and structure.
Tactile teaching methods — Hands-on guidance through physical manipulation of posture and stance provides direct transmission of knowledge beyond verbal instruction.
Marathon not sprint mentality — Sustainable practice requires wisdom about energy management and avoiding burnout despite natural inclinations to go all in.
Teacher-student dynamics — A master may ban questions entirely to force students beyond intellectual grasping toward direct experience.
Applying practice to parenting — Martial arts lessons about letting go transfer to raising children, finding balance between freedom and structure.
Humble mastery — Grandmaster Chu demonstrated true power through kindness, bowing lower than students, and warmth rather than displays of superiority.
Not trying too hard — Finding ways to achieve goals with less effort by allowing rather than forcing outcomes.
Resources

Hello, Craig here.
This isn't a regular Movers Mindset episode — it's just me for a quick check-in, and a few invitations you might find interesting.
First up, I'm introducing a way to support Movers Mindset through voluntary patronage. The podcast has always been freely available, and it always will be. But if you'd like to help sustain the work, I'd appreciate if you'd consider becoming a patron. Take a look at https://moversmindset.com/
I've recently started publishing field notes based on the podcast episodes. They continue beyond the podcast conversations into deeper explorations. They're not summaries or show notes. They're standalone pieces that pick up a thread from a conversation and follow it into new territory.
Every conversation leaves me with threads I want to explore — ideas that deserve more attention, questions that linger, insights worth developing. The field notes let me follow those threads.
Back in 2024 I needed to slow down for health reasons. Getting back to working on Movers Mindset has been energizing — it's a part of my life that brings me joy and connection, and I'm grateful to be able to keep at it.
If you're not sure where to start in the nearly 200 episodes, send me an email — craig@constantine.name.
Tell me an episode you loved, or a topic you'd like to hear about, and I'll point you to an episode or two you'll enjoy.

What new formats and practices best transmit Art du Déplacement’s culture—beyond technique—so practitioners can reflect, connect, and grow together?
Art du Déplacement’s culture is deepened through «partage», reflective practice formats, and distinctive training like vision work and night missions.
"Still, I had the fear, but I knew where I was, where I was going, [and] how— I knew myself better, basically. So this very strong experience with my friends, and this strong experience of failure— That was really an in between moment for me. […]There is before that training session at the «Dame du Lac» experiencing all this. And then there is me discovering more about my inner self and being very different in the way I approach fear." ~ Stany Foucher (1:33:00)
The discussion frames Art du Déplacement as a living culture rather than simply a set of techniques. Stany's recently published, French-language book is highlighted as a deliberate choice, made with the awareness that language shapes who can engage with the ideas. (Craig and Stany hope that an English translation can eventually be created which captures the subtlety and depth of the material.) The strengths of books—slower pacing and deeper digestion—are compared to the reach and immediacy of video. This leads to exploring audio as a practice medium, with the idea of podcast-led movement sessions modeled on audio yoga classes. The conversation also touches on the value of building shared reference points across the community, so practitioners in different places can connect through common experiences.
Practice design is a recurring theme. The Movers Mindset Pause project is discussed as a way to help practitioners form a cycle from discovery to reflection to change. Coaching is discussed as more than sets and repetitions, incorporating environment, questioning, and reframing experiences. Public-space QM is described as a way to normalize human movement in busy urban settings, reducing self-consciousness and building autonomy. The pair note the importance of training “vision” as a standalone capacity, distinct from fear management or technical skill.
"Maybe one thing that I’m trying to focus on sometimes is this vision element of the discipline. Vision is really a topic by itself. If you just try to be in an analyzing mode, you know, trying to analyze the environment and be— not measuring, but just feeling— not for the sake of techniques, but just vision for vision. Maybe new things can arise." ~ Stany Foucher (58:00)
They describe silent, “night missions” where participants select a distant, barely visible endpoint and navigate to it without touching the ground, focusing on presence, creative pathfinding, and trajectory rather than named techniques. Other modalities—lifting, carrying, climbing, and playing on varied terrain—are folded into practice to broaden capacity. Social aspects like shared meals, walks, and storytelling are recognized as essential for transmitting culture, complementing formal training.
"But something that I really get, also from those years of training, and maybe you don’t see it is, all the questioning behind it. I cannot think of a training that would not end with a question— [an] open question from—especially from Jann [Hnautra]—just reflecting on what you did. Why were you in that state of mind when we’re doing this movement? Why did you want to stop when you were doing the QM? Lots of questions and reflecting on what you did. I think this is an important piece of the training." ~ Stany Foucher (28:00)
Personal philosophy surfaces through parenting analogies—providing environments where children retain innate movement abilities—and a formative story of a major failure that marked a clear “before and after” in approaching fear. The conversation closes with reflections on building community connection despite geographic distance, testing new formats for sharing practice, and maintaining a loop where ideas, movement, and reflection continually reinforce each other.
Takeaways
Language shapes reach — Choosing French vs. English determines who can read, hear, and benefit.
Books slow the pace — A book supports digestion of concepts that video often rushes past.
Podcast as training — Audio sessions can guide live movement for listeners who learn by hearing.
Build a reflection loop — Journaling and the Pause practice embed discovery to reflection to efficacy.
Coaching beyond technique — The value includes questions, environment, and pointing in the right direction.
Normalize movement in public — Holding QM sessions in busy spaces reduces self-consciousness and increases autonomy.
Train vision explicitly — Treat “vision” as its own topic, not only fear or technique.
Use night missions — Silent, goal-directed traversals cultivate presence and creative pathfinding.
Mix natural modalities — Lifting, carrying, climbing, and terrain play (rocks, slopes) broaden practice.
«Partage» matters — Sharing stories, meals, and walks transmits culture that classes alone can’t.
Parenting reframes coaching — Provide safe environments so kids don’t lose what they already have.
Failure as inflection point — A hard setback created a clear “before/after” in approach to fear.

How can older adults reclaim movement as a joyful, empowering part of life despite pervasive cultural narratives about aging?
Letting go of perfectionism opens the door to playfulness and self-compassion.
"If I can be more compassionate toward myself, I can let go of this addiction to competence and just let myself try, and suck. So yeah, I have come to embrace the idea that if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly and playfully." ~ David Wilson (48:45)
This conversation with David Wilson explores how movement intersects with aging, self-perception, and cultural narratives. David begins by addressing how deeply internalized ageist beliefs affect people's willingness to move, take up space, and try new things. The discussion challenges the idea that aging necessitates physical decline, emphasizing instead that variety in movement and awareness of personal stories can lead to growth and transformation at any age. David also critiques societal pressures that promote fear-based motivation, and he encourages a shift toward framing movement as a present-moment gift.
The conversation moves through practical barriers and misconceptions that keep people inactive, such as rigid goals, perfectionism, and the belief that certain types of exercise are required. It emphasizes meeting oneself where one is, using personal values rather than fixed goals as guides. The importance of self-compassion, playfulness, and the willingness to "do things badly" is highlighted as a more sustainable path toward movement. There’s also a critique of mainstream fitness messaging, which often excludes older populations by failing to address their actual lived experiences.
Takeaways
Internalized ageism — Movement hesitancy is often rooted in lifelong exposure to ageist narratives absorbed from a very young age.
Misconceptions about aging — Many decline-related assumptions are not due to age itself but to reduced movement and lifestyle limitations.
Curiosity over goals — Letting go of rigid, timeline-based goals makes space for exploration and deeper engagement with movement.
Compassionate self-awareness — Bringing compassion into one’s personal practice enables growth without harsh self-judgment.
Playfulness as practice — Play offers a route to joy and learning, especially valuable when countering addiction to competence.
Movement generalism — A broad, varied movement practice supports better adaptability and long-term capability.
Fear-based fitness culture — Much mainstream messaging about aging and exercise motivates through fear instead of empowerment.
Efficiency of the body — The body conserves resources by shedding unused capabilities, so maintaining movement variety is crucial.
Accessible movement — Movement does not require equipment, special clothing, or gym memberships—it can be integrated into daily life.
Time as a barrier — A perceived lack of time is the most common excuse for not moving, yet even minutes of activity show measurable benefits.
Specificity of training — Effective physical preparation must match the demands of real environments rather than generic or repetitive exercise.
Gratitude for the body — Pausing to appreciate the body’s enduring support helps reframe limitations and fosters a more engaged relationship with movement.
Imagination of aging — How one envisions growing older strongly influences present decisions about health and movement.
Practice as identity — How we treat ourselves in movement mirrors how we show up in the world and in relationships.

What makes parkour jam spaces unique, and how do they shape the experience of movement, community, and accessibility?
A church, a jam space, and a parkour gym—what do they have in common, and why does it matter?
"The empowerment, and the kind of liberation to not care what other people think, does have a limit for some folk, I guess. I love it. I think for me, it's been great and really powerful. I really like not caring anymore about being bad at stuff in particular— that's so freeing." ~ Nina Ballantyne (14:00)
The conversation explores the concept of parkour jam spaces, emphasizing how they lack defined boundaries, making them more accessible in theory but sometimes intimidating in practice. The discussion touches on the contrast between structured athletic environments and the open, fluid nature of parkour, where new participants must navigate unspoken social norms rather than physical barriers. The conversation also highlights the paradox of accessibility—while jam spaces remove formal entry requirements, social and cultural factors can still create obstacles, especially for marginalized individuals.
The discussion transitions into broader themes of public space, inclusivity, and the intersection of parkour with community projects. A significant portion focuses on an initiative to purchase a historic church in Edinburgh and transform it into a community space. The conversation reflects on how physical spaces carry different meanings based on personal and cultural perspectives. The comparison between parkour jam spaces and community-driven spaces like the church highlights the broader theme of reclaiming and redefining public areas for collective benefit.
Takeaways
Jam spaces and accessibility — The absence of a physical boundary in a jam space doesn’t mean it’s truly open to everyone, as social and psychological barriers still exist.
The role of unstructured environments — Unlike traditional sports with defined spaces and rules, parkour operates in public spaces, leading to unique challenges in inclusivity and belonging.
Marginalized groups in public spaces — Individuals who are already scrutinized in society, whether due to gender, race, or body type, may experience additional barriers when engaging in parkour.
The impact of early experiences — Many practitioners come into parkour without formal athletic backgrounds, which shapes their approach to movement and learning.
Cultural norms within parkour — Different communities have their own customs, such as specific greetings or approaches to training, which can be both welcoming and exclusionary.
Reclaiming public space — Parkour’s ability to redefine urban spaces extends beyond movement, influencing broader discussions about who has access to and control over public areas.
Indoor vs. outdoor training — While some practitioners prefer the spontaneity of outdoor training, indoor spaces provide a structured environment that can be more accessible to beginners or marginalized groups.
The intersection of parkour and community work — The discussion about repurposing a church into a community space parallels parkour’s ethos of adapting and reclaiming environments.
The perception of churches as public spaces — Depending on cultural background, a church can be seen as either a welcoming community hub or an exclusive, imposing institution.
The role of storytelling in community building — Sharing experiences and narratives within parkour fosters a sense of shared culture and belonging.
The importance of understanding different motivations — Some practitioners seek challenge, while others prioritize playfulness, relaxation, or self-expression.
The limits of parkour’s inclusivity — While parkour prides itself on being an open and adaptable discipline, social realities can still make participation difficult for some individuals.

What makes a great movement coach, and how do they balance structure, intuition, and individual learning styles to help students progress?
Teaching movement is as much about reading people as it is about teaching physical skills.
"You have to wait— you just have to wait and see. It's not always the right time to give feedback." ~ Cristina Latici (15:22)
The conversation explores the nuances of movement coaching, particularly in the context of parkour and dance. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding each student’s background and learning style, emphasizing observation over immediate correction. Cristina describes her approach, which involves assessing a student’s experience, allowing them space to explore, and offering small, precise adjustments when necessary. She reflects on the parallels between her parkour coaching and her past as a dancer, noting how both disciplines require a deep awareness of movement and the ability to convey complex physical concepts to others.
"[Yoda and Luke] are having a conversation and Luke's bitching, as usual. And Yoda says something to the effect of, "we are what they grow beyond." And the point that's being made is, if you're a coach and you don't make students who are better than you, you're not a good coach." ~ Craig Constantine (22:04)
Another key theme is the role of community in movement practice. Cristina discusses how the group dynamic influences training, particularly when working with long-term students versus new participants. She also highlights the challenges of coaching adults versus children, explaining how her background in special education informs her patience and adaptability in coaching. The conversation touches on the idea of "touch" as an intuitive sense developed through movement practice, illustrating how familiarity with movement can enhance both safety and creativity.
Takeaways
Reading the student — A good coach observes and learns about each student’s background before offering guidance.
Holding back feedback — Immediate corrections aren’t always beneficial; sometimes students need space to explore movement on their own.
The role of community — A strong training group can create a supportive and engaging environment that extends beyond just learning new skills.
Differences in coaching adults vs. children — Adult students can be given more freedom, while children require more structured guidance.
Intuition in movement — Over time, practitioners develop an unconscious sense of movement that helps them adapt in unexpected situations.
Bringing past experience into coaching — Skills from other disciplines, like dance, can influence and enhance movement coaching.
Frameworks for structuring sessions — Having a strong guiding structure helps coaches tailor sessions to different groups and needs.
Personal growth through coaching — Teaching movement involves constant learning and adaptation, even for experienced coaches.
Adapting to different skill levels — Coaches must balance providing challenges with ensuring students feel comfortable and capable.
Flow and connection between movements — The ability to link movements seamlessly is a key part of high-level physical practice.

Iron Gump joins Craig Constantine to share how meditative strength training bridges the gap between physical exertion and mindful awareness.
"This is what you were talking about earlier. The meditative aspect. What I call it is meditative strength training (MiST). The meditative aspect is developing the awareness as you move, and then maintaining that awareness as you move. So taking very simple exercises— […] So that people feel, 'Okay, I'm not going into this super extreme odd space where I don't know what to do.'" ~ Iron Gump (13:17)
Craig and Iron Gump explore the integration of mindfulness with physical training, discussing how meditative practices can enhance strength exercises. Iron Gump shares his progression from traditional Chinese martial arts in his teenage years to weight training and eventually to a blend of both disciplines. He emphasizes the significance of combining body alignment and breath work with exercises like squats and lunges, transforming them into meditative practices. This approach, which he calls "meditative strength training," helps individuals develop a deeper awareness of their movements and maintain mindfulness throughout their workouts.

"I think that carried over into my style, and then as I progressed it just got more… I was more critical of myself. But it's my style of training, and I want the line to be—in my eyes—perfect and if I'm happy with it, then that's all that matters. And having the clip at the end is just a bonus to me." ~ George McGowan, (04:30)

Jamie Holmes joins Craig to discuss life's admin tasks, her journey through holistic healing from melanoma, and insights into the world of circus arts and personal fitness showcasing her multifaceted life and philosophies.
I think it was three months from when I had my first, initial consult with my surgeon, and he said, "okay I can get you in. It's going to be a bit harder because you're doing both hips at once, but I can get you in within three months." And that was horrid to me! I was like, "I have to live three more months like this!?" It wasn't just that it hurt a little bit when I walked— I couldn't move— I could not move— I was having weird panic attacks all the time, because if I dropped something and had to bend over, it was— I'm a bit of a tough cookie, but that? That broke me pretty hard."~ Jamie Holmes, 35:15
Not your average bears, Craig and Jamie begin in left field discussing ways of managing life's "admin" tasks. Jamie professes integrating everything into her daily flow, rather than reserving them for a single day.

Her method emphasizes efficiency and the mental ease that comes from staying ahead of administrative duties, reflecting a deeper understanding of personal productivity and time management.
The conversation shifts into Jamie's profound journey through holistic healing after a melanoma diagnosis. Rejecting traditional treatment paths, Jamie opts for a holistic approach, guided by her conviction in the body's healing capabilities and her passion for health and fitness.

Jamie also shares insights into the world of circus arts and her studio, The Circus Fix, illuminating the challenges and rewards of managing a fitness and arts studio.

Anna Bezuglova transforms the mundane into sacred practice, challenging our perceptions of daily life and movement with insights from her unique journey and teaching philosophy.
"The dialogue of sacredness of deep meaning is something that is often connected to daily things. It's not only the physical practice that I treat in such a way but also just daily moments and living life. Being present to it all the time— and it doesn't matter whether I'm doing an official session of practice, or I'm driving a car, or I'm talking to my husband, or I'm teaching a class, or I'm just walking down the road. I think this mindset shifts something in the way you do things day to day." ~ Anna Bezuglova, 3:00
In a deeply reflective conversation, Anna describes how she treats daily practices as sacred, a wisdom imparted by her Zen teacher. She shares her journey of recognizing the sacredness in her routines, initially performing practices that outwardly seemed sacred to others but later realizing their intrinsic value to herself. Anna emphasizes the importance of being present in every moment, whether it's in a structured practice session or the simple acts of daily living, highlighting how this mindset transforms the mundane into something deeply meaningful.
Anna's reflections extend into the lessons learned from her father, a martial arts teacher and a Buddhist, who, despite never directly teaching her martial arts, deeply influenced her perspective on life and practice. She recounts growing up in the challenging times of the 1990s in Russia, drawing resilience and a unique outlook from her parents' examples. This background informs her teaching philosophy, where she advocates for a holistic approach to movement that intertwines physical, cognitive, and emotional aspects.
Anna argues for the significance of continuous change, consistency, and awareness in practice, underlining how these elements contribute to a fulfilling and transformative journey. Through her narrative, she challenges listeners to see movement not just as physical exercise, but as a comprehensive method to engage with life, fostering change, and personal growth.

Julie Angel describes her multifaceted approach to movement, breath–work, and life as 'everything everywhere all at once,' revealing a seamless blend of creativity, transformation, and minimalism in her practices.
"I'm really lazy. I'm a high performance slacker. And so it has to be simple and minimalist in doing it. If there's any practice where it's like: You need to buy all of this equipment, and you need to do all of these things, and you need a membership… I'm just like, no no that'll be a no. All of those things cause friction points for me, and I don't do them. So I mean there's a minimalism, a simplicity, a creativity, and an adaptability; which is why to other people it may seem very different that I I wear all these these hats which I'm equally multi-passionate about. But for me I'm like, same same. [ed: It's all the same.]" ~ Julie Angel, 2:50

Andrew Suseno joins Craig to describe how Moving Rasa transforms trauma into collective healing and empowerment through movement, redefining personal boundaries and identity in profound ways.
Andrew Suseno describes the transformative work of Moving Rasa, a continuation from his earlier focus on Parcon Resilience. Andrew and Craig begin with an introduction to two upcoming retreats designed for Asian American Pacific Islanders and BIPOC communities, emphasizing rest, recuperation, and abolition. These retreats aim to support community organizers by reconnecting them with their bodies and helping restore their life rhythms. The events serve as a platform for individuals from marginalized communities to engage in healing practices, fostering a sense of empowerment and collective well-being.
"Rasa means taste in Indonesian, and it also means discernment of feeling with the heart. It isn't just about what our relationship to food is, but it's what our relationship to anything is— whether it's a picture on the wall, a book that we read, a friend, a value that we might have. And just like we might have a sensory understanding of what something tastes like, we have a sensory understanding of our rasa for anything. And that sensory understanding can be moved into and explored and improvised with and moved with others."~ Andrew Suseno, 5:25
Andrew elucidates the concept of "Rasa," explaining its multifaceted meanings that encompass taste, discernment of feeling with the heart, and essence in various languages, including Indonesian and Sanskrit. This concept underpins the ethos of Moving Rasa, encouraging participants to explore and connect with their essence through movement improvisation.
The conversation further explores the transformative potential of acknowledging and moving through trauma in community settings. Through the lens of Moving Rasa, Andrew shares insights into creating spaces where individuals can engage in self-discovery and collective healing. The dialogue highlights the importance of patience, love, and community in navigating personal and collective liberation journeys, offering a nuanced perspective on time, self-love, and the construction of communal identities.
"What if we started with ourselves? What if we forgave ourselves for punishing ourselves? What does that open up in our relationships with others, with ourselves, with objects, with ideas? What movements are possible there? …both literally—physically—movements, but also what movements are possible in the world? …what you can create?~ Andrew Suseno, 31:01
Takeaways
The concept of Rasa — a multifaceted term signifying taste, discernment of feeling, and essence, guiding participants towards connecting with their cultural and personal essence.
Community healing and empowerment — Moving Rasa retreats aimed at Asian American Pacific Islanders and BIPOC, focusing on creating spaces for individuals to restore rhythms and engage with their bodies in a healing manner.
Creating brave spaces — as a method to support trauma recovery and collective healing.
The importance of collective identity — a way of sharing burdens and expanding the definition of identities within community spaces, fostering self-determination and expansive identity construction.
Abolition as a personal and collective journey — introduced as a theme for contemplation and practice, encouraging self-forgiveness and the cessation of self-punishment to unlock new possibilities in relationships and movements.
The role of patience, love, and community — as foundational elements in the practice, with a call to reevaluate our relationship with time, cultivate self-love through community support, and actively engage in co-creating a shared future.

Jeremy Fein, a coach who embraces the power of conversation, joins Craig to talk about the complexities of podcasting and coaching, revealing his journey from creating a successful podcast to purposefully pausing it to refocus.
"[Coaching sessions are] much better when they're not recorded, right? They're better for the client, which is what matters. And so podcasting felt like a way that I could maybe bridge a gap between the actual work that I do, and— let's call it content creation. You go to write a caption on Instagram, and it's just so divorced from the work that I'm doing on a regular basis with clients. That's why I started [the podcast]." ~ Jeremy Fein, 4:28
Jeremy Fein discusses his experiences with podcasting and coaching. He reflects on why he started his podcast, "Nothing Makes Perfect," acknowledging the abundance of podcasts and his desire to create something meaningful rather than just adding to the noise. Jeremy also delves into his decision to pause his podcast after 25 episodes, a choice driven by a need to reassess and focus on aspects of the podcast he enjoyed and could amplify.
He also talks about the intrinsic connection between his identity and coaching, emphasizing how coaching has become an integral part of who he is. Jeremy's approach to coaching is deeply rooted in conversation, listening, and idea exploration, rather than traditional fitness instruction. This approach underscores his commitment to personalization in coaching, catering to individual client needs while maintaining a structured yet flexible coaching framework.
Takeaways
Starting a podcast with awareness — discusses the over-saturation of podcasts and the importance of adding value rather than just contributing to the noise.

John Baker discusses his approach to blending traditional and digital media in art, emphasizing exploration and his love for movement, while exploring the possibility of combining these passions into a sustainable career.
"[3 words to describe your practice?] The first one that comes to mind, which is pretty cliche, is: playful. It's important to be playful and exploring, and not be so serious. Next one is softness. I guess it comes out of being injured in the past— but trying to be softer with movements and softer, gets more gentle in general. Then the third is— I haven't decided— but collaborative or curious. Usually, with movements, or movement spheres, I like to inquire what other people are exploring." ~ John Baker 30:10
John Baker digs into the intersection of art and movement, exploring how his passion for both disciplines enriches his creative expression. He speaks about his journey in blending traditional and digital media, emphasizing the unique qualities and opportunities each medium offers.

René Scavington joins Craig to discuss the evolution of parkour, his new film and his ongoing quest for innovation and wonder.
"I feel like if I'm trying to do bigger jumps, there's a smaller window of time because I'm eventually going to tip off in power output. But flips and other freestyle type moves, I feel like I can age with those a little better. […] I think if we're going to expect anything out of me, I would say it might be more of that. In the future, just trying to be a bit more playful— A bit more loose. And I think that was harder to do in the early days of parkour. I think scenes and communities were a little meaner." ~ René Scavington 24:27
René gravitates around the evolution and nuances of parkour, revealing his perspectives and experiences within the discipline. He touches on experimentation, highlighting its growing acceptance over time. He notes the shift from a past where trying odd moves or playful variations was met with disdain, contrasting it with the current atmosphere where experimentation is often embraced and sometimes even celebrated.
René goes into his personal journey and the meticulous, relentless dedication he embodies in his practice.

Vincent Thibault joins Craig to discuss the dance between movement and mindfulness, and the balance of effort and ease in training Art du Déplacement.
You don't have to pretend that you're in top shape. If you're not in top shape that very day you just do what you can. You can be yourself and the whole notion of ease is actually very profound, and that's where my personal training connects with meditation […] One of the first things we learn with Buddhist Meditation is to be friends with yourself. I don't want to confuse the whole discussion and mix our metaphors here, but there's this notion of learning to be friends with your own mind, and that can translate into the way you approach movement and any kind of training. ~ Vincent Thibault 35:55
Vincent, a dedicated Buddhist practitioner, engages with Craig in a dynamic conversation encompassing spiritual insights merged with movement philosophy. They discuss the balance between effort and ease within training, stressing the importance of adapting to personal circumstances over time. They touch on Buddhist teachings in the context of physical discipline, emphasizing mindfulness, authentic connection, and embracing change as core tenets of their practice.
[Connection] also means that you could be connected to the people who have been practicing this before you. Whether you've learned from the Yamakasi or somebody else, you can acknowledge that. You can appreciate what you've received from them. And there's also connection with the people who will come after you. Because—sorry to deliver the news—but you won't be there forever and you won't be coaching forever if you're a coach. And you won't be moving in the same way forever, and you don't know when you're going to see it. ~ Vincent Thibault 37:30
Throughout their exchange, Vincent and Craig explore the nuances of effort in training, highlighting the significance of finding ease alongside dedication. They go into the broader concept of 'connection,' extending beyond physicality to encompass energy levels, environment, and a respectful acknowledgment of both predecessors and successors in the discipline.
They discuss how cultivating internal ease can transcend into disciplined practices, fostering mindfulness and self-acceptance. Vincent underlines the necessity of adaptation, advocating for working with present circumstances rather than fixating on an idealized version of practice.
Takeaways
Effort and Ease — Vincent emphasizes the balance between effort and ease in training, stressing the importance of finding fulfillment in the process rather than solely fixating on results.
Connection Beyond Physicality — The notion of connection expands to encompass various dimensions, including relationships with training partners, acknowledgment of predecessors, and a connection to one's own energy levels and environment.
Adaptation as Vital — The conversation underscores the significance of adapting to circumstances, encouraging practitioners to work with their current situation rather than against it.
Integration of Buddhist Philosophy — Buddhist principles blend with movement philosophy, highlighting mindfulness, authenticity, and self-acceptance as integral components of disciplined practice.
Authenticity in Practice — Being authentic with oneself and others in training is emphasized, encouraging individuals to be genuine about their abilities, limitations, and present state of being.

Chris Garay joins Craig to discuss balancing varied practices, and how much discipline is actually required for intentional growth.
The conversation revolves around their shared interest in fitness, as they discuss aspects of physical training, the significance of community in fitness spaces, and the challenges of prioritizing various physical practices effectively.
When we show up, we know that [we're trying] to get better at something via practicing intentionally. But yeah, if it's not fun, you're probably not going to stick around and keep going. And that even— honestly, goes back to the discipline [and] willpower. If you constantly have to overcome something just to to start, then you probably won't start. So if it's enjoyable and there's momentum there, that can be very helpful over time. ~ Chris Garay 30:47
Chris and Craig emphasize the need for a balance between discipline and enjoyment in fitness routines. They explore the concept of a gym as a community space, highlighting the value of shared language and camaraderie in training environments. Additionally, they value trying diverse physical practices, but acknowledge the challenge of balancing multiple interests without compromising progress in any one discipline.
Takeaways
Importance of Intentional Practice: the significance of intentional, deep practice in fitness, aiming for progress through focused training rather than scattered efforts across multiple disciplines.
Balancing Discipline and Enjoyment: the necessity of finding a balance between discipline and fun in fitness routines, acknowledging that enjoyable practices lead to more consistent adherence.
Community in Fitness Spaces: the value of a fitness community, where shared language and camaraderie create an environment fostering encouragement, motivation, and a sense of belonging.
Challenges of Multidisciplinary Training: Exploring diverse physical practices poses the challenge of balancing interests while maintaining progress in each discipline, acknowledging the limitations of time and resources for comprehensive development.
Practical Decision-Making: the importance of decisive choices in allocating time and resources, acknowledging that saying no to certain pursuits is crucial for effective focus and progress in chosen areas.

Rodrigo Pimentel discusses his catastrophic stroke, and his journey back from the near-death experience.
This is what's happening— there's no point in being angry or being bitter. […] and the only thing I can do about it— or rather, in many ways, I can't do anything about it right now. What I can do is not panic. And not get bitter. All of that will only make me stop… it will only make it worse. This came sort of naturally. I think this is the mindset that I had, this sense— this is what's happening. This kept coming back to me over and over and over. ~Rodrigo Pimentel 19:59
Rodrigo Pimentel recounts his stroke experience, reflecting on the unexpectedness and uncertainty that characterized his recovery. He emphasizes the importance of acceptance, revealing how his introspective nature, cultivated through parkour, long-distance running, and meditation, aided his coping mechanism. His ability to embrace introspection, facilitated his acceptance of help and changed his perspective on independence. Throughout the conversation, Rodrigo shares insights on handling adversity, and appreciating the current moment.
All of man's problems arise from not being able to sit quietly, alone in a room ~Blaise Pascal
The discussion touches on the introspective nature of parkour and long-distance running, highlighting how these activities provide opportunities for profound self-reflection. Additionally, Rodrigo emphasizes the significance of facing pain with curiosity rather than avoidance, shedding light on his approach to overcoming challenges and embracing acceptance in the face of uncertainty.
So in the end, if you look at the big picture, it's a big basket of the things I want to do, and it's all in there together, and I'll shake it somehow, and my week will come out. All this to say […] in the end, I'd describe my practice as 'bit of everything'." ~Rodrigo Pimentel 34:16
Takeaways
Embracing Acceptance Amid Uncertainty: Rodrigo emphasizes the necessity of accepting circumstances, particularly during his stroke recovery, where uncertainty loomed large. He found solace in acknowledging and adapting to the unknown, recognizing the importance of this mindset in handling unforeseen challenges.
Introspection Through Athletic Pursuits: His engagement in activities like parkour, long-distance running, and meditation facilitated an introspective mindset. These pursuits prompted deep self-reflection, fostering a capacity to delve into his thoughts and emotions, proving invaluable during his recovery.
Navigating Pain and Challenges: Rodrigo's approach to pain—advocating facing it with curiosity rather than attempting to distract from it. This perspective, learned through running and parkour, allowed him to explore pain and challenges with an inquisitive mindset, a strategy that proved beneficial in overcoming adversities.
Appreciating Independence and Accepting Help: His stroke altered his perspective on independence, leading to a newfound acceptance of help. Despite his inclination to assist others more than seeking aid himself, Rodrigo adapted to accepting assistance graciously during his recovery.

Hayley Chilvers joins Craig Constantine to dissect the essence of movement, and to unravel the intricate balance between self-expression and engaging with others.

They explore challenges of remaining true to oneself while considering the audience's experience. Hayley draws from her recent business development experience, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in establishing sustainable ventures.

That's something that I find really interesting: The balance between what actually is good practice and what actually is just uniquely you. ~ Hayley Chilvers from 21:30

Soisci Porchetta joins Craig Constantine to discuss the significance of the unexpected, creative expression, and faith in transformative practices.
[…] as a student, [you] cannot be spending 90% of your time with me […] for the majority of people, I really am this— like a supplement. Take these organic fresh herbs and go and thrive. But you have to go and hunt your own meat and vegetables and forage and, you know, have your own thing.
~ Soisci Porchetta around 23:52Soisci Porchetta and Craig Constantine range from movement practices to the philosophy of learning and the importance of embracing a generalist approach. Soisci shares insights into her experiences with various physical practices, such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu and handstands, highlighting the significance of embodied knowledge and the value of a beginner's mindset.
It's really going full circle from: We ditched chairs and, [we] open up the hips and the spine and the ankles and the knees and squat and elongate positions… And I do a lot of stuff on the floor. I'm most comfortable on the floor. But I think, like, if I can't sit comfortably in a chair, something is not right as well!
~ Soisci Porchetta around 34:14The conversation gets to the idea of cycles in one's journey, drawing parallels between the first love for a particular practice and subsequent explorations. Soisci emphasizes the importance of observation, creativity, and faith in navigating diverse practices, providing anecdotes that underscore the transformative power of such perspectives. Their conversation wanders through the intricacies of movement, meditation, and the paradoxes of learning.
TakeawaysImportance of Embodied Knowledge: Soisci underscores the significance of embodied knowledge, drawing parallels between movement practices like Brazilian jiu-jitsu and handstands to highlight the depth that comes from physical engagement rather than mere intellectual understanding.
The Beginner's Mindset: The conversation emphasizes the value of maintaining a beginner's mindset, exploring how approaching new practices with openness and curiosity allows for continual growth and prevents the pitfalls of dogmatism.
Observation as a Practice: Soisci advocates for the practice of keen observation, extending beyond the physical to encompass thoughts, feelings, and the environment. The ability to observe is presented as a foundational element in understanding oneself and the world.
The Role of Faith: Faith is discussed not in a religious context but as a trust in the process of learning. Soisci expresses faith in the capacity to learn and adapt, guided by a belief that a path will unfold with observant exploration.
Expression in Movement: Soisci introduces the idea of creative expression within movement practices, emphasizing that creativity is increasingly becoming a vital aspect of their approach to various disciplines.

Amina Shareef Ali joins Craig Constantine in a conversation ranging from punk rock to social movements, intertwined values, and the role of parkour in personal transformation.
…so these are transformative conceptual frameworks that have influenced me. But something, I think [critical …], is that they haven't displaced each other. They've necessarily— …in order for it to be, really, a meaningful transformation and not just some kind of flailing, [not what] I might call [a] spiritual bypassing— It has to be integrated with what was already there.
~ Amina Shareef Ali from 26:58This conversation between Amina Shareef Ali and Craig Constantine gets into the transformative aspects of various experiences in their lives, exploring Parkour, societal perspectives, and personal ideologies. Amina articulates her reflections on integrating multiple transformative frameworks in her life, encompassing academic, political, and personal growth. She emphasizes the importance of integrating new experiences with one's existing worldviews, highlighting that each transformation enriches rather than displaces previous perspectives.
Throughout this dialogue, they discuss the nuanced ways people interact with spaces, drawing connections between Parkour and societal shifts, aiming to challenge normative articulations of spaces.
And many of the characters who were around were not who I would think of as my people. There were those a bit too enthralled with shock and sensationalism at whatever cost, or those a bit too comfortable “ironically” espousing fascism. It took me a long time to understand that in order to find my place within punk, I had to be an active participant in the conversation about what punk is, and could and should be. Which, paradoxically, meant that I had to believe in my rightful claim to being punk in the first place.

Craig Constantine and Bane free-dive into the world of training alone, where challenges are intrinsic and progress is incremental.
Bane discusses the personal nature of parkour practice. He emphasizes the idea that "your movement is your own," highlighting the deeply individualized and intrinsic aspect of the discipline. He also discusses the balance between solo training and group training, noting that both have their advantages. He recognizes the value of training with others for inspiration and learning different movement styles, while also emphasizing the benefits of solitary practice for self-discovery and personal goals.
I'm not worried about forcing it and making it happen… I'm going to do it when I'm ready to do it and it's about coaxing that readiness out of me.
~ Bane, 29:20Balancing Solo and Group Training: While solo training provides personal introspection and development, group training offers opportunities to learn from others, gain inspiration, and push boundaries. Bane suggests that striking a balance between the two can lead to a more well-rounded parkour journey.
Sustainability and Flexibility in Training: Bane emphasizes the importance of sustainable training practices. Instead of rigidly adhering to a strict training regimen, he advocates for flexibility in incorporating various physical activities and training methods, which not only enhances physical capabilities but also prevents burnout.
Patience and Mindful Progression: Bane's approach underscores the importance of patience and mindful progression. This mindset not only ensures safety but also fosters a deeper understanding and mastery of the discipline.
Learning from Different Environments: The discussion touches upon the significance of training in diverse environments.
Your movement is your own. It's so personal in parkour… your challenges are intrinsic to yourself, to what you want to achieve, to what you're capable of.
~ Bane, 25:00Personalization of Parkour: Parkour is a deeply personal practice. Participants have the freedom to define their own goals, challenges, and techniques.

Join Craig Constantine and Ryland Lanagan as they discuss Ryland's journey towards longevity, where functional fitness and the sheer joy of movement lead to a healthier and happier life.
[When asked what gets adults engaged?] 100%, it is fun. Fun is that common ingredient… Everybody that gives themselves permission to come in and maybe falter in front of strangers or put themselves out there— Once you're willing to do that and you start to learn techniques, or you're starting to exercise, a whole cascade of things happen.
~ Ryland Lanagan ~24'30"Ryland introduces his Movement Matrix Method, a structured approach to learning parkour that is specifically designed for adults. He shares his remarkable journey from an overweight and disheartened Army veteran to a passionate advocate for parkour. He describes how parkour became a lifelong passion that has not only transformed him physically, but also transformed his outlook on life.
Passion and Fun: The driving force behind Ryland's commitment to parkour is the sheer joy and fun it brings. Parkour allows people to challenge themselves, experience constant improvement, and get a sense of accomplishment, all while having a great time.
Movement Matrix Method: Ryland describes his movement program incorporating a structured approach to teaching parkour skills, ensuring students progress safely and effectively.https://go.rylandlanagan.com/mmm-registration
Physical and Mental Benefits: Parkour offers numerous physical and mental benefits. It helps individuals feel proud of their accomplishments. Moreover, it's a form of exercise that can enhance bone density, improve cardiovascular health, and increase overall strength, contributing to a better quality of life as people age.
Longevity and Functional Fitness: Ryland emphasizes that parkour isn't just about flashy moves but also about developing functional fitness. It helps individuals maintain their independence and confidence as they age. Whether it's carrying groceries, climbing stairs, or playing with grandkids, it enhances everyday experiences.
Starting Early: While it's never too late to start parkour, Ryland recommends that people begin as soon as possible to avoid letting decades pass without engaging in physical activity. It's important to respect one's physical limits, start slowly if necessary, and commit to continuous improvement.
Passion is Contagious: Ryland's enthusiasm for parkour is contagious, and he believes that sharing this passion with others can inspire them to try parkour and experience its benefits.

--- Hello, I'm Craig Constantine. 👋
In the Movers Mindset podcast, I talk with movement enthusiasts to learn who they are, what they do, and why they do it. I'm interested in the nature and philosophy of movement and in exploring themes like independence, self-direction, and human excellence. My interests color each conversation and provide some structure to Movers Mindset. But since I like to take the scenic route, every conversation ends up going somewhere unique.
The purpose of Movers Mindset is to create and share great conversations with movement enthusiasts. Each conversation feeds my insatiable curiosity, but I share them to turn on a light for someone else, to inspire them, or to give them their next question.
I appreciate your time and attention, and I don’t take it for granted.

This conversation between Craig Constantine and Patrick Oancia revolves around the importance of structure and exploration in movement practices. They discuss the concept of balancing structure and chaos to create a practice that offers both a foundation and room for individual exploration. Patrick shares his experience in developing a movement practice called Baseworks that combines structure with the opportunity for multiple possibilities. They also touch upon the significance of finding deep connections and the value of building relationships within communities.
( Note: This conversation was originally recorded in 2020. Sorry it took me so long to get around to republishing this as a podcast. ~Craig )
"I wanted to make something structured enough that people can go from A to Zed in a learning pattern, but at the same time, have some room for that person to have some space to perceive it as something interesting for themselves." ~ Patrick Oancia 42'30"
Patrick shares his insights on the significance of structure within movement practices. He emphasizes the importance of a structured approach that allows individuals to progress from one stage to another, while still providing room for personal exploration and diverse perspectives. They discuss how structure combined with chaos creates an engaging and interesting experience, fostering depth of perception and possibilities for growth.
"If people jump from one thing to the next, there's no potential for somebody to sink their teeth into something, it's reality." ~ Patrick Oancia 44'30"
The conversation goes into the notion of embracing multiple methods and perspectives in movement practices. Patrick reflects on his experience with strict yoga teachings and how, despite the advice to stick to one method, he pursued different approaches simultaneously. Craig and Patrick discuss the value of exploring various methods, as it allows individuals to gain a broader understanding and depth of perception. They acknowledge that everyone's journey is unique, and by embracing multiple perspectives, one can find what resonates with them personally.
"Find the others… if you come away with one new deep connection, that's a super valuable thing." ~ Craig Constantine 46'35"
Also explored in the conversation is the role of community and deep connections. Craig and Patrick emphasize the value of finding like-minded individuals who share a passion for movement and personal growth. They highlight the importance of creating meaningful connections and relationships within communities, as it provides support, inspiration, and opportunities for collaboration. They recognize that a single deep connection can be more valuable than a multitude of superficial ones.
Take-aways…
- Balance and Focus: It's important to strike a balance between various aspects of personal development. Just like putting all your golf balls in the physical training bucket can make you good at it but eventually become boring, focusing on a restricted number of things allows for deeper attention and progress.
- Structure and Flexibility: Creating a structured framework for learning and practice provides a solid foundation for growth. However, within that structure, it's essential to allow room for individual exploration and personalization, enabling people to find their own unique perspectives and interests.
- The Complexity of Verbalizing Concepts: Both participants acknowledge the challenge of articulating their ideas and concepts when discussing movement practices. Movement is often a deeply experiential and nonverbal domain, making it challenging to express certain concepts verbally. This recognition highlights the multifaceted nature of movement practices and the importance of direct experience and embodiment alongside verbal communication.
- Multiple Paths: Everyone's journey is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to personal development. Each individual may follow a different path, focusing on different areas at different stages of life. It's important to respect and acknowledge the diverse journeys people undertake.
- Deep Connections: Building meaningful connections with like-minded individuals is invaluable. Finding "the others" who share similar interests and passions can lead to enriching conversations, collaborations, and personal growth. Even if you come away with just one deep connection, it can be highly valuable.

Craig Constantine and Alex Lukens discuss movement practices and personal growth as they explore the notions of finding balance, and the importance of doing less in order to achieve more.
Doing less is okay and it's still effective… There's an identity attached to overdoing, overachieving, and winning. ~Alex Lukens
Craig and Alex explore the realm of movement practices and the quest for balance. They discuss the challenges of adopting a heart-centered approach and the fear attached to doing less in personal pursuits. Alex introduces the idea of developing a maximally efficient and minimally effortful movement practice by combining the philosophies of Chinese kung fu and Judo.
Your movement practice can be maximally efficient and minimally with minimal effort as long as you put the work in and the discipline up front. ~Alex Lukens
Alex draws parallels between movement practices and other disciplines, such as music, emphasizing the role of repetition, simplicity, and discipline in achieving profound results.

My guest today is Dr. Evelyn Higgins. Founder of Wired For Addiction®, Dr. Evelyn Higgins is a recognized international expert in the science of addiction recovery.
She is a Certified Addictionologist, Diplomate of the American Board of Disability Analysts specializing in pain management, and Diplomate of the American College of Addictionology and Compulsive Disorders.
Dr. Higgins has had the honor of advising the U.S. Surgeon General, producing and hosting a Gracie Award winning nationally syndicated health and wellness radio program, and serving as a 1996 Olympic Team Doctor and Olympic torch bearer. With 35 years in practice, Dr. Higgins has specialized in the clinical application of the neuroscience & epigenetics behind mental health complexities and currently finds herself at the nexus of epigenetics, neuroscience, and health.
Exploring the Camino de Santiago and the Science of Addiction Recovery with Dr. Evelyn HigginsConnect with people from all over.The Camino de Santiago, or the Way of Saint James, is a 500 mile pilgrimage across Spain that has been completed for centuries. It is a journey that has been taken by many people seeking spiritual enlightenment, physical challenge, and a connection with people from all over the world.
Dr. Higgins was inspired to undertake the Camino de Santiago after reading Paulo Coelho’s book, The Alchemist. She left her practice for 32 days and walked 800 kilometers across Spain. She was determined to find out what the Camino had to offer her.
On the Camino, Dr. Higgins was amazed by the connection she made with people from all over the world. She was approached by people from different countries and languages, who wanted to walk with her. Through conversations with these people, she was able to gain insight into different cultures and perspectives. She was also able to connect with herself and find more clarity in her life.
The Camino de Santiago offers a unique opportunity to connect with people from all over the world. It is a journey that can be taken alone or with a group. It is a journey of physical and spiritual challenge, as well as a journey of self-discovery. For Dr. Higgins, the Camino de Santiago was a life-changing experience that allowed her to connect with people from all over the world and gain a greater understanding of herself.
Find yourself on the Camino.Dr. Higgins encountered many people on her journey, some of whom she would never see again. Despite this, she was able to form meaningful connections with them. She also encountered a priest who gave her an important message: “You know exactly who you are, but when you’re finished, you’ll be somebody completely different.” This message resonated with Dr. Higgins and motivated her to reflect on her journey and the people she had met.
Dr. Higgins also experienced physical and spiritual challenges during her journey. She had to push herself to the limits of her physical endurance, and she also had to confront her own doubts and fears. She found that the physical and spiritual challenges of the Camino de Santiago helped her to connect with herself in a deeper way. She was able to reflect on her life and her purpose, and she was able to gain a greater understanding of who she was and who she wanted to become.
Dr. Higgins’ journey on the Camino de Santiago was an incredible experience that changed her life in every way. She experienced physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth. She was able to connect with people from all over the world, and she was able to gain a greater understanding of herself. The Camino de Santiago is a journey of self-discovery, and it is a journey that anyone can take. It is a journey of physical and spiritual challenge, and it is a journey that can help you find yourself.
Addiction is a disease.One thing that Dr. Higgins learned on her journey is that addiction is a disease. She was inspired by the stories of people she met on the Camino and the struggles they faced. She was able to gain a greater understanding of addiction and the struggles that people face when they are trying to recover. She was able to understand that addiction is not a moral flaw, but rather a disease that needs to be treated.
Dr. Higgins was also inspired by her own family’s struggles with addiction. She was able to understand that addiction affects not only the individual, but also their family and friends. Addiction has a ripple effect and can cause a great deal of pain and suffering for those affected.
At Wired for Addiction, Dr. Higgins is working to help people understand the science behind addiction. She is looking at neurotransmitters, hormones, and genetic snips to try to understand why people become addicted and how best to treat them. She is also trying to reduce the stigma around addiction and to show people that it is a disease that needs to be treated.
Addiction is a disease and it needs to be treated as such. It is not a moral flaw, but rather a medical condition that needs to be addressed. We need to reduce the stigma around addiction and to provide people with the resources they need to recover. We need to understand the science behind addiction and to provide people with the tools they need to make a full recovery. Dr. Higgins’ journey on the Camino de Santiago has inspired her to work to reduce the stigma around addiction and to provide people with the resources they need to make a full recovery.
Seek professional help for addiction.It is important to understand that addiction is a biopsychosocial disease. This means that it is not just a psychological issue, but that there is also a biological and social component. People who are addicted to drugs or alcohol may have underlying traumas or undiagnosed conditions that can affect their physiology. It is important to look at the biological and social components of addiction, as well as the psychological aspects.
At Wired for Addiction, Dr. Higgins and her team are working to provide people with the tools they need to make a full recovery. They offer a 15-minute consultation at no cost to point people in the right direction for their recovery. They work with individuals, treatment centers, therapists, coaches, physicians, and even the justice system.
It is important to seek professional help for addiction. Addiction is not a moral flaw, but rather a medical condition that needs to be addressed. We need to reduce the stigma around addiction and to provide people with the resources they need to make a full recovery. We need to understand the science behind addiction, and to provide people with the tools they need to make a full recovery. Seeking professional help is the first step in the recovery process and it is important to find the right help for you.
Multiple perspectives lead to success.One of the most important aspects of seeking professional help is to understand the multiple perspectives that are involved. This is why it is important to find a professional who can understand and appreciate multiple perspectives. Evelyn, a doctor and addiction specialist, is a great example of someone who understands the multiple perspectives involved in addiction treatment. She understands the clinical perspective, but also the personal perspective. She understands that when it comes to treating addiction, it is important to be both a leader and a friend.
Evelyn also understands the importance of seeing the person as a whole, rather than just a set of symptoms. She understands that there are multiple facets to a person, and that it is important to take all of these into consideration when treating addiction. Evelyn also understands the importance of looking at the person holistically, taking into account their family and social situations as well as their clinical needs. This allows her to provide the best possible care for her patients.
The ability to see multiple perspectives is key to success in any field. It allows us to have a more holistic understanding of the situation, to better understand the needs of those we are helping, and to provide the best possible care. Evelyn’s example is a great reminder of the importance of understanding multiple perspectives in order to succeed. Taking the time to listen and understand the different facets of a person can make all the difference in providing the best possible care.
--- Why does Movers Mindset exist?
The purpose of Movers Mindset is to create and share great conversations with movement enthusiasts. Each conversation feeds my insatiable curiosity, but I share them to turn on a light for someone else, to inspire them, or to give them their next question.
In the podcast, I talk with movement enthusiasts to learn who they are, what they do, and why they do it. I'm interested in the nature and philosophy of movement and in exploring themes like independence, self-direction, and human excellence. My interests color each conversation and provide some structure to Movers Mindset. But since I like to take the scenic route, every conversation ends up going somewhere unique.
I really appreciate your time and attention, and I don’t take it for granted.

The Movers Mindset project grew from conversations I started having as part of my personal journey rediscovering movement. The project started late in 2015, and it was initially simply a web site that shared others’ writing. The project grew, and in 2017 I started the podcast. I’ve worked extremely hard, but none of this would have been possible without so much help from so many people.

How does having a “still mind” and striving for silent movement help to foster self-direction?
Martin Svenselius is an experienced mover who has been teaching and practicing physical movement for 15 years. He encourages others to find their own self-directed movement practice and recognizes the importance of balancing work and play. He uses tools such as offering options and scalability, setting goal-oriented exercises, and having a “still mind” to help others in their journey.

Adam Dipert is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in Physics at North Carolina State University and has wowed audiences as a professional circus performer for nearly twenty years. He started studying human movement in weightlessness in preparation for his first parabolic flight in 2016, and since then he has logged countless hours exploring the frontiers of microgravity flow in pools, aerial harnesses, flotation tanks, wind tunnels, and airplanes. In addition to developing a new suite of dance moves for outer space, he has exercised remarkable restraint not asking NASA for permission to spin fire on the ISS.
And you've become only eyes, because you now no longer have a way of sensing where your body is. And not only do you only become eyes, but you're also experiencing tunnel vision. And so when you enter weightlessness, and start to develop the skills which will be necessary to become a competent movement artist in that environment, you have to first figure out how to re inhabit your body and how to come back from just being eyes and realize that you have a head and find out where your arms are, and have some idea about where your arm is, say when it's behind your back because, you know, right now on Earth, probably everybody listening to this is on earth, waving your arm. Yeah, you put your arm behind your back and and what is it that tells you where your arm is? It's the tension in your shoulder, right? It's the torque in your arm, elbow. It's it's a lot of things that are all gravitationally oriented. And so you have to come with a totally new set of skills.
~ Adam Dipert
This episode is far out, and far ranging. Adam and I managed to coordinate a recording session with little advanced notice… and then we proceeded to go wide and deep on circus stuff, juggling, physics, mathematics, and movement in weightlessness.
Finally, since I clearly cannot cram the visuals into the audio, you simply must float over to Adam's web site: TheSpaceJuggler.com
