Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast! In today’s conversation we are joined once again by Flynn Disney, a parkour athlete and coach who has spent the last several years integrating theory and practice within movement and psychology. Much like our work at EMP, he’s embarked upon a journey to establish an ecology of practices for himself and his students that works to understand the vast amount of scientific, somatic and philosophical information that has been compiled, and translate it into actionable practices that can bring people into deeper levels of knowledge, wisdom and meaning in life. Throughout our chat we’ll touch on the importance of play as well as sensitive awareness for achieving a sound and healthy mind/body, the various approaches one might take upon the path of self cultivation, and the oftentimes difficult balance that must be obtained between hard work and rest.
