Movement Practice to Strengthen Your Mind-Body Connection | Ido Portal

Ido Portal is a world-renowned movement coach who has developed specific practices anyone can use to greatly evolve their mental and physical health, and even gain clearer self-understanding. We discuss the effects of playful movement versus exercise, discipline versus willpower, and how approaching friction points in your practice with relaxed awareness can rewire your default reactions to stress and fear. Ido explains how to leverage transition states, such as the state between sleep and waking, to gain heightened bodily awareness and new insights. He also explains specific movement patterns. This is a highly practical conversation about integrating movement, embracing uncertainty and bringing awareness into everyday life to expand your brain-body connection and deepen your sense of self.
