Benny Fergusson joins us on the pod today. Benny is the founder of the The Movement Monk Project and long time friend of SuperFeast. The Movement Monk Project is a method of functional movement, developed with the intention to restore the body to its natural powerful state. Benny guides his students along the path to physical mastery, empowering them to discover how to become injury resistant, highly flexible, strong and fluid in the way they move. Benny has been working as a physical therapist and movement teacher for over 16 years and is also a master practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Patterning (NLP). If you're interested in living a long, vibrant and pain free life today's pod is for you!   Mason and Benny discuss: -Embodying your own unique expression of movement, putting the 'you' into any exercise or practice you participate in. Making it your own. -The importance of self inquiry in your movement practice, getting clear on what personally inspires or motivates you to move in the way you do. -The value of looking within, non comparison and jealousy. -Approaching life from a parasympathetic state. -Experiencing love and gratitude for the gift of having a physical body and moving from that space. -Perceiving the frequency of existence. -Moving from your centre. -Tension in the mind reflecting tension in the body - "tension is just often a symptom of conflict between the body and the mind." -Reaction vs response in life and in movement. -Proficiency in practice. -The quality of one dictates the quality of all; in movement and in breath. -Strength and flexibility; are they the same thing? "strengthening the body is about moving the body under better control."   Who is Benny Fergusson?
