Deeper Into Physical Practice with Benny Fergusson

Had to have one of my favourite humans on the show for a second time. As I move deeper into my personal work with Benny Ferguson I wanted him to dive deeper into the unique and potent movement principles that he teaches. Through his teachings people all over the world move beyond movement fads and find a system that gives them access to releasing tension, increasing mobility, embodying strength and cultivating flexibility; all in a way that works uniquely with their body. With a focus on understanding gravity and how it flows through the body Benny and I go deep into the physiology and intention evolutions that come with developing a personal practice that leads to a body that is tension free and ready to engage with life in a dynamic and personalised fashion. Strap yourselves in and be ready to take your movement practice to another level as we chat and laugh our way through a beautiful discussion about movement and the human body.

NOTE: If you wish to skip my ranting intro talking about the media and pro-vaccine mob we had come down on us during the tour… skip to 30mins in. 

In this interview we dive into:

• Releasing the tissue to gravity to restore tissue flow, strengthen joints and develop springiness.
• Fortifying tissue and joints now so that you may reduce injury in the future.
• Opening and closing the joins.
• Embodying animal like movement into human physiology without buying into the current animal movement trend.
• Create superior balance by standing still.
