This clip is from the Huberman Lab episode "Ido Portal: The Science & Practice of Movement." The full episode can be found on TH-cam here: th-cam.com/video/a9yFKPmPZ90/w-d-xo.html
Presence in the body is one of the greatest feelings in being alive. This looks to lead away from unconscious activity and bring vitality and intentional awareness to a creative sense of balance and spontaneous responsiveness. Beautiful!💐
Another great, eye-opening discussion. Thank you for sharing a little of the behind-the-scenes of your actual movement one-on-one session. Such an awesome perspective from one of the great practitioners and teachers. Thanks as always Dr. Andrew
Looking like two dudes playing touch butt in the park! Throwback comment from Nate Diatz. This is only fun of course! Love the podcast with Ido and thanks for sharing some of the practise you guys did!
One of the most intriguing podcasts (and videos!) ever. THANK you for sharing both of your gifts @Andrew Huberman & @Ido Portal. Keep making a difference!
This perspective/approach to being a human animal in movement feels like the roots of rewiring and reviving our sense of Belonging, beginning with ourselves. Deep appreciation to you, Andrew, for being the undying Curiosity that connects us with wild wisdom like Ido. About to listen to the full podcast for the third time, and this clip was the perfect glue. Hungry for more.
I found your interview with Ido very profound and fascinating. I had previously read materials on martial arts by many so-called masters, including Bruce Lee and encountered mental blocks when trying to fully comprehend their lessons. That was until today when I listened to your interview with Ido. The saying "When the student is ready, the Master will appear". Well, Ido appeared for me and I have to thank you, Dr. Andrew Huberman, for making it possible. Thank you Dr. Andrew Huberman.
I really respect Dr Andrew Huberman because he's not just a scientist with vast knowledge, but he really lives the good advice and keeps a genuinely open mind (something many scientists are seemingly lacking in modern times). I see him as like a 21st century renaissance man with an admirably impressive humility. I think he is undeniably a role model for modern man in search of life's questions. It's very difficult to embody Übermensch whilst being incredibly likable. If you are a great guy like Andrew you could easily (and quite fairly) become self satisfied; but the man is totally non-egoic and seems genuine with it unlike some people who are secretly smug and feign self deprecation but their ego shines through the facade. Always a pleasure to watch / listen to his podcasts and interviews! He inspires me to try to better myself, and along with Dr Jordan Peterson's advice to "compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today" I think it's gradually working. Thank you.
Man I feel this, when I'm done my Muay Thai classes, I feel so on the ball, practicing motions as well as the mind listening to combos being called and translating it to punches and kicks
I love this! Such out of the box practices, I can really see how this forces the brain and body to be simultaneously challenged and pushed to become synchronized. This is a fantastic clip, I want to utilize some of these! Thank you for the share, this is the highest caliber content, as is all your work Andrew. Just subscribed here, as I am already subscribed to your main channel, and am stoked to have yet another Huberman channel!
I couldn't take my eyes off watching this. The movements, the unexpected & deliberate flow, Ido is so at ease yet focused. Andrew following beautifully. Love it! Thank you for sharing these moments!
More please... This reminds me of Bal-A-Vis-X and how we can let ours eyes, hands, and brains help map and improve our neurocircuitry with people who have suffered some type of brain insult. Fascinating technique... This is powerful
The problem with us grownups, is that we stop moving as the younger do, and also, stop sleeping like youngsters. Just, keep moving like if you where young, same free movement and with lots of energy. That's it!
This is fantastic. Stumbled across this clip and can't wait to watch the full podcast. I love movement talks and anything that brings more awareness to the miracle of one's body.
Ido!!! Is the man!! He open my eyes with his philosophy the better the supportive gear works the less you do the better the shoes work the less you do the better than machine works the less your body does.”
Ido mentioned the influence of Moshe Feldenkrais and some of your experience with ido is a reflection of MF teachings - exploring movement without pain but challenge to access forgotten possibilities You should have a conversation with a very experienced Feldy practitioner
I paused the video at 1:37 because I'm laughing! It's just like the positions the techs contort you into for a mammogram. Good times! PS. YAY another Huberman channel! 😊
Oh god yes! I needed to get a mammogram during a Covid surge and I was trying to explain to my husband how getting one was not a passive thing...that the tech literally pushes you into the most unnatural positions so that you embrace a massive piece of machinery all the while having your breasts flattened like a pancake. Good times, indeed.
@@lanehartwell hahaha YES!!!! People who haven't had one think the breast smashing is the worst part. For me that's not a big deal although the tech always drags half my armpit in that monster too. Lord knows there's enough of me there already, but no...they want MORE. Uh!!!!!! The bad part for me is lower back pain which happens while you're bent halfway and sideways to the floor....hanging on with a mighty grip. Why. Just why! Your comment had me laughing! Good times, sister. Good times! ❤️
zhan zhuang, or 'post standing' is a broadly respected practice in internal martial arts. Some of this clip seems to hint at why that might be. Would be curious to get a neuroscientist take on if it really works and, if so, why.
I remember doing many of these tasks while learning Shotokan Karate. For many years we would spend the majority of the classes playing small games which resemble these movement activities. Good stuff.
Oh this is so fascinating. I’m excited for this podcast (like each episode). I did biofeedback therapy over a decade ago and body mechanics were taught first, and the effects on the nervous system -like arched shoulders, clenched teeth, clenched fists - ways I was always holding my body that would send stress signals to my entire body, regardless of any actual stress or not. Was fascinated, I’d try to explain to people “we think we are controlling our brain but without knowing what’s going on our brain controls us” and most thinking I’m nutty. So thankful that you can simplify and teach the complexity of the brain, to the world, in such an “easy to digest” manner.
This episode was really profound and life changing podcast for me personally. Ido’s passionate ideals, and ideas Re: his dedication to integrating alternative physical practices that can be both dynamic and subtle really resonates. The notion that we ought to be incorporating intricate and full body movement that alters our habituated patterns of ‘exercise’ routines by stepping outside the box/norms of our own physical routines - made so much sense. Ido’s ideals, rare notions, and his intense determination to recommend that we continually challenge ourselves as a way to reinvent how and when we move through-out our days was extremely sensible. Also, i so appreciated how you Andrew showed up in the episode- and how your reinforcing the impact of Ido because, you too are a truly passionate, motivated by discovery, and capable of intelligently articulating what you are reinforcing with science is very generous. In addition, thank you so much for revealing your own curiosity and then being capable/willing to step into the arena with Ido in such a transparent, and vulnerably honest and authentic way. Everything that you’ve been offering, the brilliant yet, sensible ways that you interview your guests, and your own gifted capacity to facilitate the deliberate education of so many foundational realizations due to what is emerging as a treasure trove of healthily options that inspire major paradigm shifts - is exceptionally valuable. Can you help me understand more about how to cope with the process of aging - I’m asking this specifically because, I was so personally alarmed and in disbelief to have been diagnosed ( over 10+!years ago ) with “degenerative bone-disc disease which includes spondylosis, and arthritis” - and so I’ve been dealing with intensifying chronic pain much to my dismay. All this after having been a joyfully obsessed with movement, and had been a dedicated yoga practitioner and had loved facilitating up to 8-12 yoga classes wkly - each 90 mins. I became certified in trauma-sensative yoga and movement because, it countered the norm of being driven by performance during classes - especially because, I was motivated by the desire allow for my class participants to explore being more introspective when practicing the rudimentary postures in deeply mindful, intricately aware of how subtle movements impact the body especially while approaching the practice of a yoga flow of postures in a slow motion manner - while incorporating rhythmic breathing. Dear god, my body hurts ^all over^ nowadays and I am so mortified because I can’t seem to get the kind of the pain relief and full body mobility - without experiencing severe chronic pain. I feel so discouraged about this … Might you have any idea 💡or suggestions, or fellow colleagues that are offering help to both the middle age and the elderly population… many who are dealing with similar symptoms of chronic pain and are coping with the experience of what’s both frightening and alarming chronic pain? 💪❤️👏
Two things - 1. This is barely a full introduction to Ido. If you are interested in MUCH more check out London Reel's documentary on Ido Portal. 2. You should take a close look at your diet - like break out of your beliefs that whatever you're currently eating is so glorious. It may be wrong! You are likely causing your own inflammation/symptoms.
That was well written, I hope that is a skill you are giving yourself and the world in service; maybe through a training blog or print on demand journal. Sharing your journey through this experience will open more avenues of knowledge that may currently be unavailable to you. In a way, that was Portal's journey; away from dogma and towards dharma. Meditations by Dr. Joe Dispenza were a life-changing integration I found for my training, in terms of healing. Thank you
I dont know him well so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't like the guy. His posts just scream, "I am trying to sound interesting" unnecessary words to describe deep sounding statements. The guy censors his comments, he removes all negative ones, every time someone asks a question about validity or doubts something, or wants to discuss something he said, he just censors and removes the comment and he also supposedly was going to fight mma, which also was some bullshit.
The way Dr H describes him, an N of 1, and ‘so skilled in his movement’ when sorry, but he’s shaking a hand and then does a jerk at the end there. That’s it. This guy is a charlatan with a good vocabulary and N aggressive enough nature that he tricks people into thinking his way is novel. If you go to his website, you will see the arrogance in full blast. Im a disabled retired ballet dancer so I was curious to learn more of his methods but it’s all intimidation tactics. Smoke and mirrors.
I have found Ido to be very deep for his age and you were exceptionally capable of engaging Ido on a level I loved and haven’t seen a host do yet. I don’t know if it’s possible to plumb the depths of Ido’s concepts of movement. He’s dynamic in all that he does and how he thinks. Please share more of your time with Ido. You also bring a complimentary perspective to Ido. It seems that Ido is coming from an active experience but when you talked with him from your expertise I can see that his understanding of movement is so much deeper than just creativity. Excellent work! Excellent view of Ido. 👍🏼👍🏼
What a beautiful, artistic conversation. Thank you Dr. Huberman, you managed it SO well . How about a podcast about “ barefoot shoes yes or no ,for everybody or not “ ?
@@urgamecshk thank you . Not so easy to find though. Can’t buy anything online coz I live in South Africa and the corrupt government and all its cronies ( employees) steal everything that moves . And yes I hope they read this !!! TMI , but thank you, I do appreciate you trying to help.
Balancing is one of the best whole CNS activations one can do, and is important as one ages. Try putting on a pair of pants, while standing on one leg, then the other, or drying your foot, after a shower, while standing on one foot. Not easy, is it, but then balancing is a perishable skill, which becomes evident when one ages. Movement and balance, simultaneously, key to preventing falls as one ages. Happy landings!
AH, love these clips! I wish they were subtitled into Japanese so I can share them with my family and friends. As we are similar age, it would awesome could if you could a love letter to skateboarding episode.
Genuinely, can someone explain what Ido's main thesis? I am genuinely confused why so many people, especially someone who is otherwise so science focused as Andrdew Huberman, finds his idea of substance. I just hear vague ideas that are very inconcrete.
Ido Portal attempts to develop his movement capabilities in as wide a domain as is possible. This involves developing all the core physical attributes (strength, speed, power, coordination e.t.c) and afterwords more subtle ones such as softness, timing e.t.c In order to do this, he always looks for his weakest area and deliberately devises tasks/challenges/practices to develop here. The reason why he can seem to sound vague is that he is much further along the path than most so that it is difficult to relate. Like a child that has never heard of math being thrown into calculus class. I would advise reading all his posts online, beginning from the oldest posts where he talks of more basic topics such as getting stronger and advancing to more complex topics from there. Hope this helps.
@@bobbobson4030 thank you. I'm afraid it didn't really. Why can it not be summed up succinctly in the same length of an abstract say. What you have said so far doesn't really seem that novel nor concrete, to be honest.
@@bobbobson4030 there wasn't really a specific thing actually, and that itself was the cause of the not understanding. I don't understand what specific thing he teaches other than just saying some vague things about movement and that overly general so to be lacking utility and originality
You saw what he did at the end with his arms. That's the gist of it. You should know that he was Conor McGregor's "movement" coach, so you can understand how that may have helped his prominence.
@@DevinDTV i disagree. There are plenty of school subjects that are compulsory and not everyone hates them. Besides, it's good for them whether they like it or not
Portal has done lots for the movement community, BUT like cutting a diamond there gets a point where it becomes overworked, and I think Ido is getting close to that point in his practice.
I love Ido's stuff from years ago but I find the more recent stuff simply too esoteric. Maybe it's my fault and he's just a puzzle I don't understand any more.
@@bobm2368 How much of his previous work have you actually actualized? I.e. Have you developed handstand push-ups, one arm chinups and locomotion? Not that these are easy tasks, but if you don't actually master basic arithmetic how could a more "esoteric" topic like calculus even begin to make sense?
Andrew Huberman, you are very front chain dominant as evidenced by your duck feet, and probably due to your sitting for long periods. You asked during your discussion with Ido Portal about whether nature had any bearing on human movement, well there is a movement practice based on just that copying nature as a guide specifically indigenous hunter gatherers still alive and matching that to other animals in an attempt to improve human gait and movment especially in light of fromt chain activities such as sitting etc. I know you will find this of interest please check out GOATA movement. They did a podcast with Mark Bell it is an excellent jumping off point.
I trust this podcast so I'm sure there is something important going on here . I was unable to see anything I could appy to my life or recommend to anyone. I see in the comments that many people feel the same way.
Wonderful segment. Is there any possible way you can have on A future podcast the author Jonah LEHRER to discuss his book title Proust was a Neuroscientist. Connecting juxtaposition or not with the information from your podcast or just modern day knowledge of the circuitry Chemical make up of the brain relating today's progress progression in his book.
Check out Jozef Frucek and Fighting Monkey Practice. I’m sure you’ll find that very intriguing too. They have some solid movement exploration experience and dance/sports/gymnastics/martial arts background
Hi Andrew, when I see an issue, I feel the need to mention it. *Perhaps all the reading and lab work you do,...has caused your head and neck to project forward. A bit out of alignment. Curving the spine. Forgive my forwardness, ...it were me, I would want to know. It's hopefully an issue I could find answers and solutions for. That's why I am so grateful to you! For all your work, For the incredible research, analysis, in so many fields. You put me on a path of learning and regenerating. I'm 68 and I feel great. Fortunately your neck muscles appear strong. Thank you!
Given the rest of the comments it seems I am quite alone in this, but I'll say it nonetheless. This is just too much woo woo for me. I totally don't understand what Ido is saying, or why it's revolutionary. I can see it being remarkable only if you spent your entire life behind a desk and didn't climb trees or play outside as a child.
@@szymonbaranowski8184 After watching a few more videos to try and find out why people are so interested in this guy, I think I kind of agree with the idea how exercising in more natural ways, more full range of motion, functional movements rather than highly specific/synthetic movements like a leg press. I very much agree with this idea, although I also don't think that's really all he has to say. I am still missing something. And it's actually not hard to argue with what you mentioned. That's an n of 1, and there's a bunch of biases to account for. Convincing people that you're helping them is in some cases easier than helping them. However none of that suggests that what Ido portal is bringing to the table isn't useful, just that I personally haven't seen enough evidence yet. Quite possibly because I just found out about this tho.
It’s about awakening your nervous system to ways of coordinating and accessing greater capacities for movement that have been effectively forgotten since adolescence. He essentially is greasing the groove on all the different higher level as well as spinal motor pathways, kind of like a software update to the pre-existing hardware of the cables/nerves that were utilized more as a kiddo. Hope that is useful and not too reductive or redundant.
This is interesting. I like how people that are fluid and very good at certain things be able to break it down and teach it for other people who are less capable operators at the specific skill. I like physical activity but I confess im not the most fluid mover.
He deliberately makes himself inaccessible because of the 'cult leader of a special secret members only club' image he has built up around himself. Instead of helping the rest of the movement community, he just mocks and denigrates them, especially other teachers that aren't in his special little elitist club. It's such a shame he has made his amazing talent and teachings so unavailable. His nickname should be Ego Portal.
4:02 Physical or mental areas of problem create a support structure either because you want to avoide putting weight for example on a just broken bone. Breathing is in my experience the best way to takle that situation as the rythem of the breath is linked to our state of mind and can be used to fasten recover or even prevent illness like the method of fire breath also used by Wim Hof to kill the virus cells in a experiment under the supersion of doctors.
This clip is from the Huberman Lab episode "Ido Portal: The Science & Practice of Movement." The full episode can be found on TH-cam here: th-cam.com/video/a9yFKPmPZ90/w-d-xo.html
Show more clips of the actual session if you can please.
I second this!
Yes we need this.
Yes, we do.
They wont
I’d love to see the instructions on the motionless to moving stage of this. Looked interesting
Presence in the body is one of the greatest feelings in being alive. This looks to lead away from unconscious activity and bring vitality and intentional awareness to a creative sense of balance and spontaneous responsiveness. Beautiful!💐
Nate Diaz comment to Conor McGregor about Ido Portal is still classic....
"You're playing touch butt with that dork in the park" 🤣😆😂😅
So much of what he said in the podcast reminded me of Kundalini yoga teachings I received during teacher training years ago. Found it so affirming.
Another great, eye-opening discussion. Thank you for sharing a little of the behind-the-scenes of your actual movement one-on-one session. Such an awesome perspective from one of the great practitioners and teachers. Thanks as always Dr. Andrew

Loved it thank you

Finally audience got to watch Andrew Huberman in 'full' - so far it was always 'half' sitting in front of microphone!
even for the Lex Fridman choke?
Wonderful collab! 🔥🔥👏🏽
Wow this is great. Thank you Ido and Andrew for this special inside view of what is important for a human: MOVEMENT.
Such a pleasure to see :)
amazing! thanks for posting!

I could watch this for hours. More please?
This is going to be good . Natural movement is so vital !!!
Balancing is one of the best whole CNS activations one can do, and is important as one ages.
Try putting on a pair of pants, while standing on one leg, then the other, or drying your foot, after a shower, while standing on one foot. Not easy, is it, but then balancing is a perishable skill, which becomes evident when one ages.
Movement and balance, simultaneously, key to preventing falls as one ages.
Happy landings!
Ido is the man! Such a loving spirit
AH, love these clips! I wish they were subtitled into Japanese so I can share them with my family and friends. As we are similar age, it would awesome could if you could a love letter to skateboarding episode.
Genuinely, can someone explain what Ido's main thesis? I am genuinely confused why so many people, especially someone who is otherwise so science focused as Andrdew Huberman, finds his idea of substance. I just hear vague ideas that are very inconcrete.
Ido Portal attempts to develop his movement capabilities in as wide a domain as is possible. This involves developing all the core physical attributes (strength, speed, power, coordination e.t.c) and afterwords more subtle ones such as softness, timing e.t.c In order to do this, he always looks for his weakest area and deliberately devises tasks/challenges/practices to develop here.
The reason why he can seem to sound vague is that he is much further along the path than most so that it is difficult to relate. Like a child that has never heard of math being thrown into calculus class. I would advise reading all his posts online, beginning from the oldest posts where he talks of more basic topics such as getting stronger and advancing to more complex topics from there.
Hope this helps.
@@bobbobson4030 thank you. I'm afraid it didn't really. Why can it not be summed up succinctly in the same length of an abstract say. What you have said so far doesn't really seem that novel nor concrete, to be honest.
@@ek14tube What specifically about my explanation do you not understand?
@@bobbobson4030 there wasn't really a specific thing actually, and that itself was the cause of the not understanding. I don't understand what specific thing he teaches other than just saying some vague things about movement and that overly general so to be lacking utility and originality
You saw what he did at the end with his arms. That's the gist of it. You should know that he was Conor McGregor's "movement" coach, so you can understand how that may have helped his prominence.
I think movement practice, like the ones demonstrated here, should be compulsory in all schools from as early an age as possible.
fastest way to make people hate something is make it compulsory
@@DevinDTV i disagree. There are plenty of school subjects that are compulsory and not everyone hates them. Besides, it's good for them whether they like it or not
In my school I was thought to play hurling from 5 years old. Excellent hand eye condition. I'm sure ido would enjoy the game. Great name by the way.
@@karlbyrne6021 I've heard he prides himself on being close minded
dear god no.
I ❤ this video so much.
Just so beautiful to see men moving in this way
Portal has done lots for the movement community, BUT like cutting a diamond there gets a point where it becomes overworked, and I think Ido is getting close to that point in his practice.
How can you tell that he has overworked his practice, and what would you do in his place?
I love Ido's stuff from years ago but I find the more recent stuff simply too esoteric. Maybe it's my fault and he's just a puzzle I don't understand any more.
@@bobm2368 no you're right. He's gone off the edge.
@@bobm2368 How much of his previous work have you actually actualized? I.e. Have you developed handstand push-ups, one arm chinups and locomotion? Not that these are easy tasks, but if you don't actually master basic arithmetic how could a more "esoteric" topic like calculus even begin to make sense?
@@bobbobson4030 well said .
Love you both for what you do, I would love to see more: thanks
Ido portal🙏. Big fan of yours from India , big respect . Hope to be in your presence one day . Till then adios . It's a good day .🙏
Andrew Huberman, you are very front chain dominant as evidenced by your duck feet, and probably due to your sitting for long periods. You asked during your discussion with Ido Portal about whether nature had any bearing on human movement, well there is a movement practice based on just that copying nature as a guide specifically indigenous hunter gatherers still alive and matching that to other animals in an attempt to improve human gait and movment especially in light of fromt chain activities such as sitting etc. I know you will find this of interest please check out GOATA movement. They did a podcast with Mark Bell it is an excellent jumping off point.
Made me think of Bruce Lee :)
I trust this podcast so I'm sure there is something important going on here .
I was unable to see anything I could appy to my life or recommend to anyone.
I see in the comments that many people feel the same way.
A skater will always wear skate shoes! Once a skater always a skater.
Fascinating, it also feels/looks healing
Wonderful segment. Is there any possible way you can have on A future podcast the author Jonah LEHRER to discuss his book title
Proust was a Neuroscientist. Connecting juxtaposition or not with the information from your podcast or just modern day knowledge of the circuitry Chemical make up of the brain relating today's progress progression in his book.
More of this please. Wonderful.
I love these clips!
Hozier... Beautiful song!
This type of training appears to be able to help in fighting, such as Jui Jitsu, Wing Chun, etc.
Repetition accuracy improves with the fluidity of said practice, and muscle memory over time from earlier practice becomes balanced potential.
Check out Jozef Frucek and Fighting Monkey Practice. I’m sure you’ll find that very intriguing too. They have some solid movement exploration experience and dance/sports/gymnastics/martial arts background
Cool to see. Some of these moves are similar to vestibular rehabilitation movements.
Wow, he’s fast 😳 Very interesting 😊
Ido is LEGENDARY!!!!!! What a great video --- the switch up was really nice ~
I love this
Awesome 😌
Nice to see Andrew practising the ipsilateral and counterlateral concepts with Ido and Odelia 🙂!
Amazing 🤩
Thank you for sharing this video. Hope to watch more videos from you. Have a Great Day greetings from our Family - Kapiso Mo Vlog 5:30
And in retrospect, you'll see he was just saying "Go Fetch!" Then you say "oh ya,Im Just a dog"
My boss doesn't understand that me being two hours late at work is just the time my body need to get out a motionless state in very deliberate way.
Fascinating
Hi Andrew, when I see an issue, I feel the need to mention it. *Perhaps all the reading and lab work you do,...has caused your head and neck to project forward. A bit out of alignment. Curving the spine. Forgive my forwardness, ...it were me, I would want to know. It's hopefully an issue I could find answers and solutions for. That's why I am so grateful to you! For all your work, For the incredible research, analysis, in so many fields. You put me on a path of learning and regenerating. I'm 68 and I feel great. Fortunately your neck muscles appear strong. Thank you!
Why aren't these clips at 1 MILLION subscribers yet? Let me fix that!
I’ve only seen a few clips of Ido Portal before-very intriguing to learn more!
loved this!!!
EPIC!
❤️🌞🥁
I love that it's in black and white ^^
Given the rest of the comments it seems I am quite alone in this, but I'll say it nonetheless. This is just too much woo woo for me. I totally don't understand what Ido is saying, or why it's revolutionary. I can see it being remarkable only if you spent your entire life behind a desk and didn't climb trees or play outside as a child.
He took part and tried out this method. He had real empirical results. Hard to argue with that.
@@szymonbaranowski8184 After watching a few more videos to try and find out why people are so interested in this guy, I think I kind of agree with the idea how exercising in more natural ways, more full range of motion, functional movements rather than highly specific/synthetic movements like a leg press. I very much agree with this idea, although I also don't think that's really all he has to say. I am still missing something.
And it's actually not hard to argue with what you mentioned. That's an n of 1, and there's a bunch of biases to account for. Convincing people that you're helping them is in some cases easier than helping them. However none of that suggests that what Ido portal is bringing to the table isn't useful, just that I personally haven't seen enough evidence yet. Quite possibly because I just found out about this tho.
Considering he charges thousands of dollars to get people to do this kind of stuff for a few hours is incredulous
It’s increasing sensory awareness
It’s about awakening your nervous system to ways of coordinating and accessing greater capacities for movement that have been effectively forgotten since adolescence.
He essentially is greasing the groove on all the different higher level as well as spinal motor pathways, kind of like a software update to the pre-existing hardware of the cables/nerves that were utilized more as a kiddo. Hope that is useful and not too reductive or redundant.
Looks tooo cool 😍🥳🤪✌️
Fascinating stuff, and it looks really fun. Looks like it has a strong element of play to it. We are, as a society, likely play deficient.
This is interesting. I like how people that are fluid and very good at certain things be able to break it down and teach it for other people who are less capable operators at the specific skill.
I like physical activity but I confess im not the most fluid mover.
He just made you play fetch. Power move
Ido is amazing... regrettably access to him and his knowledge is limited... so glade you looked into this subject eye opening content
I hope Ido find a way to transmit properly his learnings
Its intentional by Ido
He deliberately makes himself inaccessible because of the 'cult leader of a special secret members only club' image he has built up around himself. Instead of helping the rest of the movement community, he just mocks and denigrates them, especially other teachers that aren't in his special little elitist club. It's such a shame he has made his amazing talent and teachings so unavailable. His nickname should be Ego Portal.
This seams to be what dad would or could do to play or teach their toddlers to play.
4:02 Physical or mental areas of problem create a support structure either because you want to avoide putting weight for example on a just broken bone. Breathing is in my experience the best way to takle that situation as the rythem of the breath is linked to our state of mind and can be used to fasten recover or even prevent illness like the method of fire breath also used by Wim Hof to kill the virus cells in a experiment under the supersion of doctors.
