Living Parkour: Chapter Preview
20/07/25 10:58 Filed in: Book - OG Parkour
Parkour is a nature oriented mindset for movement — woven into daily life.
Discover how parkour transcends acrobatics to become a profound layer woven into daily life. From navigating the vibrant streets and beaches of Puerto Rico through simple choices like walking instead of driving, the author reveals how everyday routines become opportunities for mindful movement – jumping sketchy sidewalks or cutting across parks. This practice stems from a foundation of minimalism and a daily ritual aligning with Buddhist principles (the Eightfold Path) to cultivate presence and purpose. The post explores parkour's deeper philosophy, tracing its roots back to Georges Hébert's "Méthode Naturelle" and its evolution through the Belle family, arguing that parkour is fundamentally about seeing and moving through the world with nature's adaptive, rule-defying awareness. It's not just physical training; it's a mindset that bridges societal structures and natural flow, fostering connection and a constantly expanding worldview.
