Deep dives
Exploring the Impact of Personal Experience on Parkour Practice
Engaging in specific movements like lashes and precision in parkour led to in-depth optimization based on information, fostering a conscious and controlled approach. However, this intense focus on optimization limited engagement in movements that required more varied execution like acrobatics, leading to frustration and self-judgment. Practicing non-judgment and embracing imperfect executions allowed for a shift towards raw sensory experiences, enhancing joy and body awareness in practice.
