In the countryside of Ibiza there is a strange and challenging movement practice called Primal Moves. Founder Nick Brewer’s personal history is stranger still. Today on Life is a Festival, Nick shares his incredible life story from South American smuggler to yogi and the daily practice which became his refuge and his dharma. On the show, Nick shares his story from his time as an alpine skier, to smuggling cocaine in South America, to isolation in the bowels of an Argentinian prison. Nick talks about discovering yoga and building a daily practice in prison. He shares his deep insights from breakdown to breakthrough. Finally he describes developing the technique of primal movement and how the practice went global with the help of passionate burners. Nick Brewer is the Founder of the movement space ‘Primal Moves’ in Ibiza which has become home for a community of movers from an array of backgrounds around the world. This community is now spreading across the Americas and Europe. Professional Hand Balancers, performing Artists and Yogis, mums and dads have been enjoying the vast benefits that come from the practice.
