Show Notes
Hey! Welcome to Move Wild Podcast, a podcast dedicated to understanding human health from an evolutionary perspective, and integrating the universal principles of human health and wildness into our lives. Each week I interview and discuss with guests on topics and conversations entered around re-wilding, natural movement, nature connection and ancestral living practices. Thanks for joining me on this journey!
About today’s show:
Today I had Simon Thakur on the show..
Simon is a movement teacher, lifelong practitioner and explorer of bodymind traditions from around the world. He has an academic background in medical science, anthropology, evolutionary biology and ecology; movement disciplines including Yoga, Chinese internal martial arts, Capoeira Angola, Feldenkrais, Butoh, wrestling and Brasilian Jiujitsu; a decade-long career as a bodyworker, therapist and rehabilitation practitioner; extensive practice and research into Buddhist, Yogic and Daoist meditation; and an ongoing exploration of bushcraft, survival skills and rewilding. Ancestral Movement is the synthesis of this experience, an ongoing exploration of human embodiment within the context of biological evolution, ecology, and the shared ancestry of all living beings through deep time.

Highly recommend this YouTube video as a good starting point to understand the effects of coffee on the body: https://youtu.be/y_xA70lWrDs
So the big question is this, how do people like us, who are passionate about movement, who value health, community and ancestrally aligned lifeways, how do we create strength, vitality and connection in a world that seems to dismiss the need for any of those traits.
Wow! What a journey, it's been amazing to see the podcast grow and evolve since the launch of season 2 at the start of the year....
