The Magic Happens Outside

My purpose is to inspire others to create a new sense of self by daring to be creative in everything they do & see the world as a playground to move, explore, discover and enjoy at any age.

THE WORLD IS A PLAYGROUND

When you see the world around you as a series of opportunities to explore, say hello to and what you are made of, it opens up a sense of possibility. If the bench or wall is no longer ‘just a bench or a wall’, instead they are obstacles, challenges, and part of a game. Then it opens up the possibility for you to create a new vision of how you see yourself too.

MOVEMENT IS FOR LIFE.

Proin convallis et mi quis venenatis. Morbi varius vitae nulla aliquam tristique. Praesent gravida malesuada turpis, a hendrerit lorem tincidunt et. Quisque varius sapien vel maximus faucibus. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.

MOVEMENT IS FOR EVERY BODY

We evolved to move, it’s what our brains are designed to do.
Despite common thinking that movement comes from the muscles, it doesn’t, our brain and nervous system is running the show.
We all have a body and therefore movement is for every body type. Hi Younger, older, smaller, larger, whatever your body feels and looks like, movement is for you.
Start where you’re at. The dosage and the style will be different from everyone else’s as you are the only one who is living your life. Your body, your story.
You were born to move and every aspect of your life will improve once you find your kind of movement culture that fits you and your life.

PARKOUR

We all face obstacles everyday. Parkour is a method for overcoming obstacles. The physical, mental, real or imagined ones in our path.
 
The physical part is to move over, under, around and through, to find a way. To seek out and face challenges that train our physical skills and manage our emotions so we can overcome and manage them. To reimagine the landscape and create a training ground for self-knowledge. To explore and remain curious to our potential and resilience.
 
The inner excellence of parkour acts as a mirror for us to see who we are in the moments of challenge. A reflection of physical and mental capacity. Free of the labels of status and ego.
 
Parkour is a way to move through the world, both literally and metaphorically. To be strong to last. Strong body, strong mind.

MOVEMENT SNACKS

You need your own individual movement culture that works for YOU and YOUR everyday life that feels joyful, accessible and in balance with your daily demands and responsibilities. That means that you are consistently moving in ways that make you feel good and can feel yourself becoming stronger and more connected in mind and body. And that nothing has been ‘lost’ as you age.

When you do this you won’t ever feel like you are “working out” or exhausted, you have a renewed sense of energy, confidence, connection and that you  can move through the world pain free , confident and at ease. This strategy is what will get you out of feeling you’ve plateaued and guilty about knowing what to do and yet not doing. Instead you will be emotionally and physically moving with ease and fun, reclaiming your strength, optimism and confidence as you age.

NATURE

We evolved in it and are a part of it. We are not assembled in a factory even if we are born in the walls of a hospital. Our connection to it matters. The walk in the park, the small garden at the back of the house. They change how we feel everyday.
The landscapes we find solace, peace and freedom in away from the desks and chairs of the workplace.
The natural light in our eyes at the start and end of the day. The shifts in temperature and airflow, the seasons that influence our moods and style.
The more time we allow ourselves ot connect with it and be at one in it. The happier, healthier and stronger we are.

STRONG RESTING

You need to master the art of recovery and strong resting to find balance, feel calm and wake up with good energy everyday. To unlearn that any sort of recovery is lazy, and that what might have worked for you 5 or 10 years ago might no longer be working. Running on empty will keep you stuck in a downward spiral of low self-esteem and pessimism for how you are ageing. When you start strong resting you give value to the repair, rebuild and reset part of your training equation, recover from injuries, use deep nutrition to help calm your over-vigilant nervous system and set yourself up for long term health improvements and energy that are what will keep you moving and remaining strong in a sustainable way for the weeks, months, years and decades ahead. 

POSITIVE AGEING

We experience both internal and external ageism. Society gives us messages around how we should and shouldn’t look like, behave, think, do etc at certain ages, and we have our own internal ageist dialogue. You need to reconnect with yourself and your environment in a positive way. The ability to push through and ignore all the messages our body sends us can serve us well from time to time but not on a constant basis. The end result will be an overly stressed body and mind. That’s tiring! Injuries, weight gain and fatigue creep in and you’re left unsure if you can ever turn things around. Learning to overcome our own internal obstacles of self-talk and listen is essential so that you never find yourself struggling again with feeling good in your body.
