Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast!
In today’s conversation we are joined by the one and only Tim Shieff!
In the late 2000’s Tim was one of the best and most well known parkour athletes in the world, and in today’s discussion we will be hearing about the personal and professional struggles he faced that would lead him on a tumultuous journey for a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
Along the way Rafe will share parallels of his own journey for personal health and healing, including the role that childhood trauma plays in physical ailments and injury, therapeutic practices he’d employed to overcome these issues, and the deep work that has been required to repair and rejuvenate his closest relationships.
They will also talk at length about the way all of this has evolved their understanding of human movement and the way that they view their roles as coaches and mentors.
This is a very rich discussion that you won’t want to miss out on.

Embracing Fluidity in Motion with NIL TEISNER | EMP Podcast 134
Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast!
In today’s episode I sat down with Nil Teisner, creator of Finding Flow. We delve deep into the essence of movement, its transformative power and the flow that can be found in our bodies.
Nil shares his journey from skateboarding to mastering acrobatics, highlighting the importance of fluidity, the art of facing fears, and the pursuit of passion in movement.
We touch on topics like the interplay between strength and flexibility, the educational aspects of teaching movement, and insights into acrobatics as a tool for exploring risk, uncertainty, and personal growth are explored.
Discover Nil's unique approach to movement that blends discipline with creative expression, encouraging us to explore the limits of our physical and mental landscapes. To experience Finding Flow, keep an eye out on social media for Nil’s upcoming workshops in the USA.
