Why playful movement is ESSENTIAL, according to Wil Brown

06/11/24 • 41 min

In this episode Joanne talks to Wil Brown, the founder of London Movement Group. Wil is all about experiencing life via physical exploration, in action. He sees his job as “sharing what I figure out...” and has gained tens of thousands of fans following his lively and committed approach to playful movement.
Joanne and Wil talk about their respective experiences and how, through exploring very different routes to movement methods and approaches, they agree entirely on such things as the importance of recovery time - and playfulness!! Movement is not (and can’t be) an intellectual process, so it’s a rich ground to explore the sensory nature of moving well - for the love of it - even in the most ordinary moments of your day.... Finding everyday ease and grace is a thing, right?
We hope you enjoy this conversation!!

Are you a McDonald's or a Michelin Star style movement teacher?

Myofascial Magic in Action is not a method – it’s a standard available for all the different methods we teach and learn in movement. It raises the game around the difference we can make to ourselves and our clients, whatever modality we choose.
Focusing particularly on Yoga and Pilates, we make the important distinction between “delicious” bespoke movement and "fast food" one-size-fits-all movement... We also share stories about the highlights and lowlights of teaching - see if you recognise your own experiences here!
We hope you enjoy hearing how we rate the Michelin Star movement experiences we’ve loved, and that some of our comments will cause that magical laughter of recognition to light you up with a smile!
Thank you for being here,
Joanne and PaulMORE INFO

Why these 5 words matter so much to movement teachers

This episode is inspired by important questions we’re very often asked by movement teachers about cueing and language.
So... What exactly do we all mean by the word Stretch? Or Stabilise? Or Strengthen? Or Stiffen? Is Stress always a bad thing, or can it actually be a good thing sometimes? We explore each word and its implications, as well as how we can use them wisely....or not so wisely!!
Again and again, we hear these 5 ‘S words’ come up, regardless of the particular modality a teacher is using, whether it is Pilates, or Yoga or 5 Rhythms, or Dance or Personal Training or Martial Arts - whatever you may teach. It’s crucial to consider these words carefully in order to enhance how the practice, whatever it is, makes sense to the person you are teaching. And of course, Cueing, Seeing, and Guiding clients well requires us to use a language THEY understand....this is not so much a formula as a discussion about the ingredients!!
Hopefully there’s some important food for thought here for you, to enhance the delicious movements you already create for the people you work with...Enjoy!
