Essentials: The Science & Practice of Movement | Ido Portal
About this episode
In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Ido Portal, a movement coach and world expert on human movement.
We explore the science and practice of movement, including how the nervous system shapes our actions, the distinction between reflexive and deliberate movement patterns and how emotion and awareness influence our movement. Ido shares how to build a holistic movement practice into everyday life through an exploration-based approach grounded in playfulness and self-inquiry.
