The Science & Practice of Movement | Ido Portal

My guest is Ido Portal, the world’s foremost expert on human
movement. Ido has spent a lifetime studying, combining and evolving
elements from an enormous range of martial arts, dance genres,
athletic endeavors, and science, to develop a unified theory and
practice of movement called “The Ido Portal Method.” Here we
discuss all things movement, including the role of the nervous
system, reflexive versus deliberate movement patterns, and the link
between emotions and awareness in movement. We also discuss
learning and neuroplasticity, the mind-body connection and how
movement itself can be leveraged toward expanding other types of
skills- cognitive, creative and otherwise. As one of the most
sought out teachers of movement alive today, the knowledge Ido
shares in this conversation can benefit everyone—children, adults,
athletes, dancers, clinicians and trainers and the everyday person.
